Indonesia as one of the tropical nations in South Asia falls into one of the countries in which DHF is an endemic. The notable clinical symptoms are fever usually 400c with a  biphasic pattern in 6% of DHF cases, body ache, muscles, retroorbital and joints, nausea, and vomiting. Fluid accumulation, due to plasma leakage, may occur in the abdominal cavities, pleural space, and even the lungs. The rise of non-communicable diseases like diabetes mellitus has impacted the clinical progression of DHF by increasing the risk of developing into dengue shock syndrome and atypical clinical manifestation of dengue plasma leakage and bleeding disorder.
