Abstract

Abstract Dengue fever is a febrile disease found in the tropics and is a major health concern for Southeast Asian countries. The obstetrician's concern regarding the effect of dengue infection revolves around the maternal and foetal effect of infection in different trimesters of pregnancy and labour, risk of transplacental transfer, confusion with other co-morbidities and the management.

Dengue fever in pregnancy most often is treated conservatively with a careful watch on complete blood count.
