Abstract :

 

Dengue infection, caused by mosquito Aedes Aegyptii, in pregnancy carries the risk of haemorrhage for both the mother and the new–born. In addition, there is a risk of premature birth and fetal death and vertical transmission causing neonatal thrombocytopenia that necessitates platelet transfusion.

The aim of our study was to find out the maternal and perinatal outcome in patients with dengue fever in pregnancy.

Objectives

The study was carried out in patients with dengue fever in pregnancy to assess:

1.      The clinical presentation and pregnancy outcome.

2.      Complications causing maternal and perinatal morbidity.

3.      Maternal and perinatal mortality rate.
