Since the year 2000, the dengue incidence in Malaysia continues to increase from 32 cases per 100,000 populations to 361 cases per 100,000 populations in 2014 (Figure 1). The dengue incidence rate is higher in the age group of 15 to 49 years (Figure 2).
• Dengue is a dynamic disease and presented in three phases - febrile phase, critical phase and recovery phase. • Clinical deterioration often occurs in the critical phase and is marked by plasma leakage and rising haemotocrit (HCT). • Look out for warning signs which may indicate severe dengue or high possibility of rapid progression or ...
The median HCT level among Malaysian population is taken as: ͦ male < 60 years – 46% ͦ male > 60 years – 42% ͦ female (all age groups) – 40% of baseline HCT, a HCT value higher than the abo. Usually, leucopaenia preceeds thrombocytopaenia. DENGUE SEROLOGY TESTS.

enia and haemoconcentration are usually detectable in this phase. The haematocrit (HCT) l. vel correlates well with plasma volume loss and disease severity. However, interpretation of HCT may be dificult when there are confounding factors such as hae. ], h. teinaemia and hypoalbuminae.
Notification of DF and DHF in Malaysia was implemented in 1971. Under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Disease Act 1988, it is compulsory for all Medical Officers to notify all cases of DF, DHF and deaths due to dengue infection.
MANAGEMENT OF DENGUE INFECTION IN ADULTS
In the absence of a baseline HCT level, a HCT value of >40% in female adults and >46% in male adults should raise the suspicion of plasma leakage. Thus, serial full blood count (FBC) and HCT must be monitored (by using Dengue Monitoring Card ) as the disease progresses.
Molecular epidemiology of dengue in Malaysia: 2015–2021
May 28, 2024 · In the present study, we describe the genetic composition and dispersal patterns of Dengue virus (DENV) by using 4,004 complete envelope gene sequences of all four serotypes (DENV-1 = 1,567, DENV-2 = 1,417, DENV-3 = 762 and DENV-4 = 258) collected across Malaysia from 2015 to 2021.
