<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAs mentioned, people who experience Dengue fever infection may start to vomit as one of the signs of the disease. In severe cases, the patient may vomit up blood along with their stomach contents. This sign of the disease is usually a signal of an adverse outcome, and the patient will need immediate treatment to stop the internal hemorrhaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, the patient may also start experiencing diarrhea due to the infection. In severe cases, the patient may also pass blood in their stool, making it look black, with a slight reddish tinge. It’s normal for retired red blood cells to excrete through stool, and it’s one of the reasons why stool is usually brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, patients with Dengue fever notice that their stools are very dark, and it’s a sign of internal hemorrhaging. Hemorrhaging refers to internal bleeding, and it\u2019s a big problem. The patient requires immediate medical assistance to avoid the severe outcomes of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n13. Liver Enlargement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Dengue fever attacks the organs in the patient, resulting in several severe outcomes if they don’t seek immediate medical attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pathogen attacks all vital organs, including the liver. The liver is a peculiar organ in that it’s the only one in the body that regenerates itself. However, patients with Dengue fever experience liver infection as the pathogen moves through the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, the liver collects waste products from the body, cleaning the blood. However, it starts to enlarge when it comes under stress from the Dengue fever pathogen. There are too many waste products moving through the body for it to filter, and it starts to experience dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, the patient may start to develop a condition known as “jaundice,” where the whites of the eyes begin to turn yellow, and the skin develops a yellow hue. Jaundice <\/a>is a sign of severe liver distress, requiring immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n14. Severe Abdominal Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Patients with Dengue fever will also notice that they start to experience stomach pains. These pains start mild but quickly progress into severe as the pathogen reaches high levels in the blood and body. As a result, the patient will complain about severe abdominal cramps and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people may confuse this stage of the infection with food poisoning<\/a>. Since many of the symptoms, such as a fever and headache, can occur with typical cold or the flu infection, they may not get medical assistance immediately, thinking that they have another infection that may pass on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, the cramping and pain will continue, and if the patient doesn’t receive medical attention, they will find that they start to develop diarrhea, usually with blood in the stool. Doctors will treat the patient with anti-viral medications designed to kill the invading pathogen, and the patient will notice that the cramping starts to subside in a few hours after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
