A97.1: Dengue with warning signs
Dengue with warning signs, categorized under the ICD-10 code A97.1, is a more severe form of dengue fever, a viral illness transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito, primarily of the Aedes species. The condition is marked by distinctive warning signs such as severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fluid accumulation in the body, bleeding or bruising, restlessness, or an enlarged liver. These indicators usually appear 3-7 days after the onset of fever and suggest that the disease might progress into a high-risk form called severe dengue. Dengue affects multiple systems in the body, primarily the circulatory system causing plasma leakage, and the hepatic system leading to liver enlargement. It is critical to monitor for these warning signs as timely medical intervention can mitigate the risk of deterioration to severe dengue.
