ROLE OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY- CHEST AND ABDOMEN IN THE EARLY ASSESSMENT OF SEVERITY OF DENGUE FEVER

Abstract

 Dengue fever, caused by the dengue virus, stands as the most prevalent arboviral 
disease globally, with its incidence surging significantly in the past five decades due to factors 
such as rapid urbanization, evolving lifestyles, and insufficient water management. Particularly 
in tropical and subtropical regions like India, dengue fever has become endemic, posing a 
considerable public health challenge.
