摘要
Dengue is an important mosquito-borne disease, caused by one of the four serotypes of dengue virus.According to the reports from the World Health Organization, every year 50 to 100 million infections occur, including 500 000 dengue hemorrhagic fever cases and 22 000 deaths, mostly among children.1 The main features of severe infection are hypotension, fluid leak and shock. Management of dengue shock syndrome and its pathophysiology are not fully understood. We reported two patients with dengue who developed hypotension without considerable fluid accumulation in the third space and explaining an alternative cause for hypotension in these patients.
