Dengue Treatment
• Because Dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused by a virus for which
there is no known cure or vaccine, the only treatment is to treat the
symptoms.
• Rehydration with intravenous (IV) fluids is often necessary to treat
dehydration.
• IV fluids and electrolytes are also used to correct electrolyte
imbalances.
• A transfusion of fresh blood or platelets can correct bleeding
problems.
• Oxygen therapy may be needed to treat abnormally low blood
oxygen.
