Why do stage 2 dengue fever victims need to take blood pressure?

Blood pressure is not typically monitored in dengue fever patients during the acute phase of illness. Dengue fever is a viral infection that primarily affects the blood platelets and can lead to bleeding problems. While severe dengue can cause low blood pressure, it is usually not a significant aspect of stage 2 dengue fever management. Instead, stage 2 dengue fever is characterized by high fever, severe headaches, muscle and joint pain, nausea and vomiting, and a rash. Treatment at this stage typically involves supportive measures such as rest, hydration, and pain relievers.
