Tropical and subtropical regions of the world frequently experience dengue, a virus spread by arthropods. Clinical signs of the disease include asymptomatic infections, undifferentiated fever, dengue fever, which causes a fever, headache, retroorbital pain, myalgia, and arthralgia, and a severe version known as dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, which causes hemoconcentration, thrombocytopenia, and bleeding tendency. Myocarditis is the most prevalent form of the cardiac problem associated with dengue that is now being detected more frequently. Although both direct viral infection and immune-mediated damage have been proposed as the causes of myocardial injury in dengue myocarditis, the primary mechanism is still uncertain. Because it is asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose, dengue myocarditis occurs seldom. Dengue myocarditis is almost always self-limiting, and it is ve.. Read More»
