Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)


A. DEFINITIONS

Dengue is a viral tropical disease transmitted by mosquitoes and characterized by fever, headache, pain in the limbs, and rash (Brooker, 2001).
Dengue fever / dengue fever is a disease that mainly in children, adolescents, or adults, with clinical signs of fever, sore muscles, or joints accompanied leukopenia, with / without rash (rash) and limfadenophati, biphasic fever, headache severe, pain in the eyeball movement, taste menyecap impaired, mild thrombocytopenia, and bleeding spots (ptekie) spontaneous (Noer, et al, 1999).
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a disease caused by dengue viruses (arboviruses) that enters the body through the bite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Suriadi & Yuliani, 2001).


B. ETIOLOGY

 Bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that carries dengue virus (a type of arbovirus). 


C. PATHOFISIOLOGY

Dengue virus enters the body through the bite of aedes aegypti mosquito and then reacted with the antibody and virus-antibody complexes formed, in asirkulasi will activate the complement system (Suriadi & Yuliani, 2001).
Dengue virus enters the body through the bite of mosquitoes and dengue infection was first menyebabkandemam. Body reaction is a reaction commonly seen in infection by the virus. A very different reaction would appear, if someone gets repeated infections with different dengue virus types. And DHF can occur when a person is infected after the first time, got the other dengue virus infection recurs. Re-infection will cause a reaction anamnestik antibody, giving rise to the concentration of antigen-antibody complex (virus-antibody complexes) is high (Noer, et al, 1999).

 
D. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

High fever 5-7 days.
Bleeding, especially bleeding under the skin; ptekie, ekhimosis, hematoma.
Epistaxis, hematemesis, melena, hematuria.
Nausea, vomiting, no appetite, diarrhea, constipation.
Sore muscles, bones and joints, abdomen and solar plexus.
Headache.
Swelling around the eyes.
Enlargement of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes.
Signs of shock (cyanosis, clammy skin, decreased blood pressure, anxiety, capillary reffil time more than two seconds, fast and weak pulse).

E. CLASSIFICATION

WHO, 1986 classifying DHF according to the degree of the disease into four categories, namely:
Grade I: Fever accompanied by other clinical symptoms, without spontaneous bleeding. Heat 2-7 days, positive tourniquet test, trombositipenia, and hemoconcentration.
Degree II: Similar to the degree I, coupled with spontaneous bleeding symptoms such as petechiae, ecchymoses, hematemesis, melena, bleeding gums.
Degree III: Marked by circulatory failure symptoms such as weak and rapid pulse (> 120x/mnt) narrow pulse pressure (120 mmHg), decreased blood pressure, (120/80, 120/100, 120/110, 90/70, 80 / 70, 80 / 0, 0 / 0)
Degrees  IV: Nadi not teaba, blood pressure did not teatur (heart rate 140x/mnt) limb palpable cold, sweating and the skin looks blue.

 
F. DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION

Drink lots of 1.5 liters - 2 liter/24 hours (with tea, sugar, milk).
Antipyretics if there is fever.
Anticonvulsants if there are seizures.
Giving fluids through an IV, performed if the patient has difficulty drinking and hematocrit values ​​tended to increase.

NURSING MANAGEMENT
  
A. Assessment

1. Identity
    
DHF is a tropical disease that often causes the death of children, adolescents and adults (Effendy, 1995).
 
2. Main complaint
    
Patients complain of fever, headache, weakness, heartburn, nausea and decreased appetite.
 
3. History of present illness
    
Medical history showed headache, muscle pain, soreness throughout the body, pain on swallowing, weakness, fever, nausea, and decreased appetite.
 
4. History of previous illness
    
No illness is specific.
 
5. Family history
    
A history of DHF disease in other family members is crucial, because the disease DHF is a disease that can be transmitted through mosquito bites aigepty aides.
 
6. Environmental Health History

Normally less clean environment, lots of water puddles like cans, old tires, where water birds are rarely replaced drink water, bathtubs rarely cleaned.
 
7. Growth History
 
8. Per Assessment System

*      Respiratory System
Tightness, bleeding through the nose, shallow breathing, epistaxis, symmetrical chest movements, resonant percussion, auscultation sounds Ronchi, krakles.

*      Nerve System
In grade III patients with anxiety and a decline in awareness and in grade IV can trjadi DSS


*      Cardiovascular system
In grde I hemoconcentration can occur, positive tourniquet test, trombositipeni, in grade III circulatory failure may occur, rapid pulse, weakness, hypotension, cyanosis around the mouth, nose and fingers, in grade IV no palpable pulse and blood pressure can not be measured.

*      Digestive System
Dry mucous membranes, difficulty swallowing, epigastric tenderness, pembesarn spleen, enlarged liver, abdominal stretch, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, pain on swallowing, can hematemesis, melena.


*      Urinal system
Urine production declines, sometimes less than 30 cc / hour, will reveal sat painful urination, urine red.

*       Integumentary system.
An increase in body temperature, dry skin, the grade I found a positive tourniquet test, occurred pethike, in grade III bleeding can occur spontaneously in the skin. 

B. Nursing Diagnosis

1.      Hipertermi associated with dengue virus infection process.
2.      Risks associated with the moving fluid deficit intravascular to extravascular fluid.
3.      Risk of nutritional disorders needs less than body requirements related to inadequate nutritional intake due to nausea and decreased appetite.
4.      The risk of bleeding associated with decreased blood clotting factors (thrombocytopenia).
5.       Parental anxiety associated with the child's condition.
6.      Lack of knowledge about the family illness, prognosis, the effect of the procedure, and care of sick family members associated with less exposure / recall information.
