INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses
(DENV-1, -2, -3, and -4). Infection with one serotype of DENV provides immunity to that
serotype for life, but provides no long-term immunity to other serotypes. Thus, a person can be
infected as many as four times, once with each serotype. Dengue viruses are transmitted from
person to person by Aedes mosquitoes (most often Aedes aegypti) in the domestic environment.
Epidemics have occurred periodically in the Western Hemisphere for more than 200 years. In the
past 30 years, dengue transmission and the frequency of dengue epidemics have increased greatly
in most tropical countries in the American region.

REVIEW OF TEORI
2.1 Definitions
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is
transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus which causes disturbances in
capillary blood vessels and the blood clottingsystem, resulting in bleeding. Dengue hemorrhagic
fever (DHF) is a specific syndrome that tends to affect children under 10 years of age. It causes
abdominal pain, hemorrhage (bleeding), and circulatory collapse (shock).
2.2 Etiology
Causes of DHF is Arbovirus (Arthropodborn Virus) through the bite of Aedes mosquitoes
(Aedes aegypti and Aedes Albopictus) Dengue virus is spread from human to human by
mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Aedes aegypti
spread in the tropics and subtropics are the main vectors. This mosquito is small when compared
to other mosquitoes, typically measuring 3-4 mm. Black body color with white spots all over the
body and head, and a white circle on foot. Chest usually have white markings and scaly wings
and translucent
Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes bite during the day with the peak of activity in the
morning and evening. The development of the Aedes aegypti mosquito lives of bed to adult takes
about 10-12 days. Only female mosquitoes bite and suck blood from humans and choose to keep
back the egg. While unusual male mosquitoes suck blood but only herbal extracts. The mosquito
Aedes aegypti females age 2 weeks. Age Aedes aegypti mosquito flying ability 40-100 m.
2.3 Pathophysiology
Dengue virus into the human body through mosquito bites occur viremia, which is
characterized by sudden onset of fever with no apparent cause other symptoms such as headache,
nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, soreness throughout the body, decreased appetite and abdominal
pain, red spots on the skin. The disorder can also occur in the reticulo endothelial system or as
enlargement of lymph glands, liver and spleen. The release of substances anafilaktoksin,
histamine and serotonin as well as the activity of the system kallikrein causes increased
permeability of the capillary / vascular so that fluid from the intravascular out into the
extravascular or the occurrence of plasma leakage due to enlargement of plasma a reduction in
plasma volume led to hypovolemia, decreased blood pressure, hemokonsentrasi, hipoproteinemia,
effusion and shock. In addition reticulo endothelial system could be disrupted causing antigenantibody reaction that could eventually lead anaphylaxia (Price and Wilson, 2000). Plasma
seeping from the beginning of fever and peaked in shock. In patients with severe shock, the
plasma volume can be reduced to 30% or more. When hypovolemic shock caused by loss of
plasma is not immediately addressed, there will be tissue anoxia, metabolic acidosis and death.
The occurrence of shock is usually on the 3rd and 7th.
2
Another consequence of the dengue virus in the blood circulation will cause bone marrow
depression that will happen thrombocytopenia, which continues to be cause bleeding due to
platelet disorders and coagulation disorders, and finally to the bleeding. Reaction bleeding in
patients with DHF caused a disturbance in hemostasis which include vascular changes,
thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100,000 / mm3), decreased platelet function and decreased
coagulation factors (prothrombin, factor V, IX, X and fibrinogen). Bleeding occurs as ptekie,
ecchymosis, purpura, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, until severe bleeding in the gastrointestinal
tract that extends on Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) can also cause occurs when shock.
2.4 Clinical Diagnosis
Some patients with dengue fever go on to develop dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a
severe and sometimes fatal form of the disease. Around the timethe fever begins to subside
(usually 37 days after symptom onset), the patient may develop warningsigns of severe disease.
Warning signs include severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, marked changein temperature
(from fever to hypothermia), hemorrhagic manifestations, or change in mental status (irritability,
confusion, or obtundation). The patient also may have early signs of shock, including
restlessness, cold clammy skin, rapid weak pulse, and narrowing of the pulse pressure (systolic
blood pressure diastolic blood pressure). Patients with dengue fever should be told to return to
the hospital if they develop any of these signs.
DHF is currently defined by the following four World Health Organization (WHO) criteria:
Fever or recent history of fever lasting 27 days.
Any hemorrhagic manifestation.
Thrombocytopenia (platelet count of <100,000/mm3).
Evidence of increased vascular permeability.
The most common hemorrhagic manifestations are mild and include a positive tourniquet
test, skin hemorrhages (petechiae, hematomas), epistaxis (nose bleed), gingival bleeding (gum
bleed), and microscopic hematuria. More serious types of hemorrhage include vaginal bleeding,
hematemesis, melena, and intracranial bleeding.
Evidence of plasma leakage due to increased vascular permeability consists of at least one
of the following:
An elevated hematocrit 20% above the population mean hematocrit for age and sex.
A decline in hematocrit after volume-replacement treatment of 20% of the baseline hematocrit.
Presence of pleural effusion or ascites detected by radiography or other imaging method.
Hypoproteinemia or hypoalbuminemia as determined by laboratory test.
3
WHO is currently reevaluating the clinical case definition for dengue fever and DHF.
Studies from different countries have reported life-threatening complications from dengue in the
absence of one or more of the current criteria for DHF. Despite the name, the critical feature that
distinguishes DHF from dengue fever is not hemorrhaging, but rather plasma leakage resulting
from increased vascular permeability.
Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is defined as any case that meets the four criteria for DHF
and has evidence of circulatory failure manifested by (1) rapid, weak pulse and narrow pulse
pressure (20 mmHg [2.7 kPa]) or (2) hypotension for age, restlessness, and cold, clammy skin.
Patients with dengue can rapidly progress into DSS, which, if not treated correctly, can lead to
severe complications and death.
Fatality rates among patients with DSS can be 10% or higher but, with early recognition
and treatment, can be less than 1%. DHF and DSS can occur in both children and adults.
2.5 What to Look for When You Evaluate Patients for DHF
EVALUATE the patients heart rate, capillary refill, skin color and temperature, peripheral
pulse volume, pulse pressure, and blood pressure. A drop in systolic blood pressure is
usually the last sign and appears only when the patient is in shock.
LOOK FOR evidence of bleeding on the skin and at other sites.
LOOK FOR evidence of increased capillary permeability (e.g., pleural effusions, ascites,
hemoconcentration).
MEASURE and ask about urine output.
Monitor your patients hydration status during the febrile phase of illness. Educate
patients and parents about the signs of dehydration and have them monitor their urine
output.
If patients cannot tolerate fluids orally, they may need IV fluids. Assess hemodynamic
status frequently by checking the patients heart rate, capillary refill, pulse pressure, blood
pressure, and urine output.
Perform hemodynamic assessments,baseline hematocrit testing, and platelet counts.
Continue to monitor your patients closely during defervescence. The critical phase of
dengue begins with defervescence and lasts 2448 hours.
DSS (Dengue Shock Syndrome) usually occurs after 2-7 days, due to increased vascular
permeability, causing plasma leakage, fluid serous effusion into the pleural and peritoneal cavity,
hypoproteinemia, hemoconcentration and hipovolemi that result in reduced venous return
(venous return), prelod, myocardium stroke volume and cardiac output, resulting in dysfunction
or circulatory failure and decreased circulation network. DSS is also accompanied by the failure
of hemostasis resulting in myocardial perfusion and cardiac output decreased, impaired blood
flow and tissue ischemia and damage cell function progressive and irreversible, damage cells and
organs so that the patient will die within 12-24 hours.
3. Hepatomegaly
Enlarged liver with weakness generally associated with necrosis due to bleeding, which
occurs in the liver lobule cells and capillaries. Sometimes the neutrophil and lymphocyte cells
appear larger and more complex due to the reaction or viral antibody.
4. Pleural effusion
Pleural effusion due to leakage of plasma extravasation resulting intravascular flow cell
that can be evidenced by the presence of fluid in the pleural cavity in case of pleural effusion will
occur dyspnea, breathlessness.

3.4 Implementation
Implementation, which is a component of the nursing process , is the category of
nursing behavior where the measures necessary to achieve the objectives and expected
outcomes of nursing care undertaken and completed . ( Perry & Potter , 2005) .
a) The act of Nursing Mandiri.
Without the action taken Orders Doctor. Iuris nursing actions performed by nurses . For
example create a peaceful environment , a warm compress when the client fever .
b) Nursing Collaborative action .
Actions taken by nurses when perawata working with other members of the health care in
making decisions together that persist for troubleshooting client.
3.5 Evaluation
Step evaluation of the nursing process to measure the clients responses to nursing
actions and progress towards achieving the clients goals. Evaluation occurs whenever a nurse
in touch with clients. The emphasis is on client outcomes. The nurse evaluates whether the
clients behavior reflects a setback or advancement in nursing diagnoses (Perry Potter, 2005).
Results of nursing care to clients with DHF in accordance with its intended purpose.
This evaluation is based on the expected results or changes in the patient. The targets of
evaluation in patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever as follows:
a. The patients normal body temperature (360C 370C), the patient is free from fever.
b. Patients will reveal the pain is reduced.
c. The clients nutritional needs are met, patients are able to spend on food in accordance with
the portion given or needed.
d. Fluid balance will remain intact and the patients fluid requirements are met.
e. Daily activities of patients can be met.
f. Patients will retain so there is no shock 15ypovolemic with vital signs within normal limits.
g. Infection does not occur.
h. No further bleeding.
i. Reduced patient anxiety and listened to an explanation of the nurses about the disease
process.

4.1 Conclusion
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus which is
transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus which causes disturbances
in capillary blood vessels and the blood clottingsystem, resulting in bleeding. Dengue
hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a specific syndrome that tends to affect children under 10 years
of age. It causes abdominal pain, hemorrhage (bleeding), and circulatory collapse (shock).
Nursing Diagnoses :
1. Hypertermy related to the process of dengue virus infection.
2. Risk for Fluid Volume Deficit related to intravascular fluid into the extravascular
migration.
3. Risk for Shock Hypovolemic related to excessive bleeding, intravascular fluid into the
extravascular migration.
4. Risk for imbalanced Nutrition Less Than Body Requirements related to inadequate
nutritional intake due to nausea and decreased appetite.
5. Risk for Bleeding related to decreased blood clotting factors (thrombocytopenia)
4.2 Suggestion
The authors hope that the preparation of a paper on Askep in children / infants with
DHF can provide knowledge and know-how in the field of education and nursing practice .
And also with this paper can be a reference to the action of the nursing process.
