Dengue is not included explicitly in the WHO Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) algorithm. However, the assessment, classification and management of dengue has been incorporated into several IMCI country adaptations.

Aug 25, 2016 · Should a standard, evidence-based and validated dengue fever algorithm be developed for integration into IMCI in dengue-endemic areas? How useful would such an algorithm be? Dengue fever is a major concern for parents with febrile children in several tropical Asian countries.

Dec 1, 2005 · This review summarises the virology, transmission and pathogenesis of dengue, its significance by region, and its epidemiologic, demographic, and clinical features; assesses existing diagnostic guidelines; evaluates the evidence base for current treatment guidelines; examines IMCI adaptations of dengue algorithms; and discusses experience with ...

IMCI is an integrated approach to child health that focuses on the well-being of the whole child. IMCI strategy is the main intervention proposed to achieve a significant reduction in the number of deaths from communicable diseases in children under five

The 2002 working draft of the IMCI Adaptation Guide consists of the following sections: Section A. The Adaptation Process Section B. Procedures for Adapting the Charts and Modules Section C. Technical Basis for Adapting the Clinical Guidelines, Feeding Recommendations and Local Terms Section D. Protocol for Adapting the Feeding Recommendations ...

We aimed to evaluate the dengue algorithms incorporated into IMCI guidelines and discuss the need for harmonization, includ-ing an extension of the age range for IMCI. This study included three steps.

Oct 11, 2022 · We aimed to evaluate the dengue algorithms incorporated into IMCI guidelines and discuss the need for harmonization, including an extension of the age range for IMCI.

The inclusion of a dengue fever algorithm into IMCI in areas where childhood dengue is common may facilitate its differentiation from other febrile diseases and decrease the chances of missing this important diagnosis.

Other countries where dengue haemorrhagic fever is an important problem have modified the materials to include this condition. The adaptation process involves a detailed review of existing guidelines and a comparison between them and the generic IMCI guidelines. The inten-tion is not just to adapt the generic IMCI guidelines to national ones or to
