MATERNAL AND FETAL OUTCOMES OF DENGUE INFECTION DURING PREGNANCY

Thirteen pregnant women with dengue infection were admitted to Ban Pong Hospital, Ratchaburi and Photharam Hospitals, Ratchaburi, Thailand during 2007-2015. The diagnosis of dengue disease in these pregnant women adhered to clinical and laboratory criteria for the diagnosis of dengue disease as established by the World Health Organization (WHO) 1997. Our study showed dengue infection can happened in any pregnancy trimester with all severities of dengue disease, namely dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). All were symptomatic, received supportive treatment, and had uneventful recovery. Eleven of 13 cases proceeded to normal delivery, but two cases proceeded to abortion. All 11 cases proceeding to labor delivered normal newborn remaining healthy up to the time of this report.
