engue fever is the commonest arthropod - borne viral infection, that caused by a Flavivirus. There are
four antigenic types of dengue virus; the virus is transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquito. Since 2005,
dengue fever occurred in a significant number in Port Sudan. In east Sudan, and at this time WHO consider
Port Sudan as endemic area. Dengue fever in this area showed bad outcome in pregnancy due to pulmonary
complication, so this descriptive study done in 36 pregnant women with dengue fever, who were developed
respiratory symptoms throughout their hospital course. From those 36 patients, 75% was classic dengue
fever, 13.7% dengue hemorrhagic fever, and 11.3% dengue shock syndrome. The pulmonary complication
appears as pneumonia in 17 (47.2%) patients, pleural effusion in eight (22.2) patients, pulmonary embolism
in eight (22.2%) patients, ARDS in three (8.3%) patients. Three (8.3%) were terminated chemically, five
(13.9%) terminated by cesarean section and 28 (77.8 %) underwent normal vaginal delivery at term. These
complications worsening the outcome, affecting both morbidity and mortality of dengue fever in pregnancy,
so need early detection and standard interventions.
