Lesson 10.13: Dengue III

White Blood Cells

Where the dengue virus binds inside & reproduces while it moves throughout the body

Cytokines and Interferons

Signaling proteins produced by WBCs, responsible for many of the symptoms in response to the virus

Liver and Bone Marrow

Organs affected during severe dengue infections

Plasma Leakage

When fluid from the bloodstream leaks through the wall of small blood vessels into body cavities due to capillary permeability

Low Blood Pressure

Resulted from less blood circulating in the blood vessels, which causes insufficient blood delivery to vital organs
