Dengue Shock Syndrome treatment in Cancún

Dengue shock syndrome is one of the severe manifestations of dengue virus infection, in which fluid leaking through the blood vessels compromises blood circulation throughout the body.

How it relates to dengue: It usually appears when a case of dengue takes an unfavorable turn, with a drop in blood pressure and difficulty maintaining blood supply to the organs.

Warning signs: Among the findings that can point to a severe case are intense abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding from the gums or nose, a feeling of dizziness, and cold or clammy skin.

Who treats it? Because it is an infectious emergency, it requires immediate evaluation; the infectious disease specialist is the physician who studies dengue infections in depth. At any suspicion of worsening during dengue, the prudent thing is to seek medical care without delay.
