Bleeding From the Nose or Gums
In some rare cases, dengue may take the form of hemorrhagic fever, in which the virus causes the blood vessels to become damaged. This can be dangerous, possibly leading to internal bleeding or shock.
Dengue rarely gets to this stage, but if a person notices bleeding from their gums or mouth or under their skin, they should see a doctor as soon as possible or go directly to the hospital.2‘Symptoms and Treatment.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 14 July 2020, www.cdc.gov/dengue/symptoms/index.html
