What is the difference in management of DF and DHF?
The manifestations and management of DF and DHF during febrile phase are the same. It is during a febrile phase of 2-3 days (critical phase) following the febrile phase that if plasma leakage occurs, it has to be managed by IV fluids ( ringer lactate/ normal saline ) in most cases. This phase lasts for 24-48 hours.
