The term dengue hemorrhagic fever derives from early outbreaks in the Philippines, thought to be Korean hemorrhagic fever (HF with renal syndrome). GI hemorrhages were common in early outbreaks because the need for rapid fluid replacement therapy was not recognized. Over time, the incidence and severity of hemorrhaging has declined. The central pathophysiological defiicit is vascular permeability.
