Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, characterized by symptoms such as fever, muscle or joint pain, leukopenia, rash, lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia, and hemorrhagic tendencies. In DHF, there is plasma leakage leading to fluid accumulation in body cavities, and in severe cases, it can progress to Dengue Shock Syndrome, characterized by shock. The illness is mainly spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, presenting a substantial worldwide health issue. The diagnosis of DHF requires the presence of several criteria: fever or recent history of acute fever lasting 2-7 days, often biphasic; at least one hemorrhagic manifestation such as positive tourniquet test, ecchymosis, mucosal bleeding, hematemesis, or thrombocytopenia; and evidence of plasma leakage. Young adults are particularly susceptible to dengue fever due to their frequent outdoor activities. In Padang City, West Sumatra Province, in 2020, the age group most affected by the disease was adults aged 15 to 44 years.
