Integrating structured point-of-care ultrasound into dengue fever management: A mini review and comprehensive clinical guide

Dengue fever is one of the most common mosquito-borne viral diseases and poses a significant health threat. The primary management involves hydration tailored to the disease stage and severity. Although many cases are mild, dengue can rapidly progress within hours. Complications such as plasma leakage and bleeding are difficult to detect through routine clinical assessment alone. In this context, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable bedside tool for the early detection of f
