DOI: https://doi.org/Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease prevalent in tropical regions, posing significant risks to pregnant women, who are more susceptible to severe outcomes. This case series presents four cases of dengue fever in pregnant women. The cases illustrate the diagnostic challenges posed by overlapping clinical symptoms, such as fever, myalgia, and gastrointestinal disturbances, which are common to multiple tropical febrile illnesses. Laboratory tests, including serology for dengue, were instrumental in confirming the diagnosis. Management primarily involved supportive care, focusing on hydration and close monitoring of platelet counts and liver function tests. This case series emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing dengue during pregnancy to avoid severe maternal and fetal complications. None of the patients in this series experienced adverse fetal outcomes during their treatment, highlighting the potential for favorable outcomes with timely intervention. This series underscores the need for high clinical suspicion and tailored treatment strategies in endemic regions.
