Dengue is an arbovirus of tropical and subtropical countries. The infection caused by this virus may be classified such dengue with or without signs of alarm and severe dengue. One consequence of the severe forms of this infection is the lethality which can range from 1 to 5 %. It is considered that plasma leakage is the most important phenomen that determines the severity.
