Abstract

Dengue fever (DF) is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical regions; however, it is not endemic in Korea. Imported infectious diseases should be suspected when encountering returned travelers with non-specific symptoms such as fever, rash, and headache. Persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, hemorrhagic tendency, hepatic enzyme abnormalities, and proteinuria are risk factors for the development of severe DF in a patient with DF. Severe hyperglycemia is also known to be related to poor prognosis in acute illness, and with certain underlying diseases that present with hyperglycemia, such as diabetes, it is related to the progression of severe DF. We report a DF case with severe hyperglycemia in an adolescent returning from India. Pediatric DF cases reported in Korea were also reviewed.

一个从印度返回的家庭中发生了一例伴有极端高血糖的儿童登革热病例

登革热在热带和亚热带地区流行;但是，在韩国并不是地方病。遇有发热、皮疹、头痛等非特异性症状的归国人员，应怀疑有输入性传染病。持续性呕吐、腹痛、出血倾向、肝酶异常和蛋白尿是DF患者发展为严重DF的危险因素。严重的高血糖也与急性疾病的不良预后有关，对于某些伴有高血糖的基础疾病，如糖尿病，它与严重DF的进展有关。我们报告一例从印度返回的青少年伴严重高血糖的DF病例。在韩国报告的儿童DF病例也进行了审查。
