Description

Background: Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) is a severe complication of
dengue fever that can lead to life-threatening conditions such as thrombosis
and acute kidney injury (AKI). These rare complications highlight the
importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management to improve
clinical outcomes.
Purpose: This case study aims to report and discuss the clinical management
and outcomes of a patient with DSS complicated by inferior vena cava
thrombosis and AKI, focusing on nursing interventions and therapeutic
strategies.
Methods: This manuscript reports a case by utilizing the patient’s baseline
data, clinical progression, and treatment outcomes. A middle-aged male
patient presented to the emergency department with high fever, shock,
and signs of plasma leakage. Laboratory and imaging findings confirmed
DSS with AKI and inferior vena cava thrombosis. The patient received fluid
resuscitation, inotropic support, anticoagulation therapy, and multidisciplinary
care, including close nursing monitoring.
Results: After seven days of hospitalization, the patient showed significant
improvement, with resolution of shock, normalization of platelet count, and
recovery of renal function. Comprehensive nursing care, including vital
sign monitoring, medication management, and patient education, played a
pivotal role in the recovery process. At a follow-up visit on day 12, the patient
demonstrated full recovery with no complications.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and
a multidisciplinary approach, including cautious anticoagulation therapy,
to effectively manage DSS with thrombosis and AKI. Integrating nursing
interventions and strict monitoring were crucial to achieving positive clinical
outcomes. This report provides valuable insights into managing similar
cases in endemic areas.
