This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between maternal dengue virus infection and adverse birth outcomes.

Observational studies examining the association between laboratory-confirmed maternal dengue infection and adverse birth outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), stillbirth, and postpartum haemorrhage were included. Data were extracted, and risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random-effects meta-analysis models were used to pool data in R software (V 4.3). Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of preterm birth among dengue-affected pregnancies was 18.3% (95% CI: 12.6%-25.8%), with an OR of 1.21 (95% CI: 0.78-1.89). For LBW, the pooled prevalence was 17.1% (95% CI: 10.4%-26.6%), with an OR of 1.00 (95% CI: 0.69-1.41). SGA had a pooled prevalence of 11.2% (95% CI: 2.7%-36.9%) and an OR of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.41-2.14).

Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between the host gut microbiota and the evolution of dengue. It seems to be a bidirectional relationship, in which the DENV can affect the microbiota by inducing alterations related to intestinal permeability, leading to the release of molecules from microbiota dysbiosis that can influence the evolution of dengue. The role of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the microbiota/dengue relationship is not well understood, but it is known that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is present in the intestinal tract and interacts with the gut microbiota. The possible effect of Ang II on the microbiota/Ang II/dengue relationship can be summarised as follows: the presence of Ang II induced hypertension, the increase in angiotensinogen, chymase, and microRNAs during the disease, the induction of vascular dysfunction, the production of trimethylamine N-oxide and the brain/microbiota relationship, all of which are elements present in dengue that could be part of the microbiota/Ang II/dengue interactions.

Besides controlling immune cell trafficking, CCL2 is also involved in multiple pathophysiological processes including systemic hyperinflammation associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS), organ fibrosis and blood coagulation.

Neurological dysfunctions are one of the most common manifestations caused by these viruses that can also serve as indicators of their infection, impacting the clinical presentation of the disease.
