Resumen

INTRODUCTION: Every year, dengue in Tamaulipas seriously affects pregnant women, increasing complications such as preeclampsia, hemorrhage, shock, premature births and low neonatal weight. On this matter, prevention, early recognition and an accurate diagnosis of dengue are crucial to reduce or regulate possible complications that can arise in these patients.

OBJECTIVES: To update and establish epidemiological data, diagnostic criteria, treatments and preventive measures for dengue, focusing on vulnerable groups (mainly pregnant women) and future alternatives for its management.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect were used to obtain articles with a publication date no older than 5 years as inclusion criteria. After screening and collaborative evaluation, 16 relevant publications focused on dengue were selected, prioritizing those that emphasized in the relationship between pregnancy and dengue.

RESULTS: Data was analyzed and established about epidemiology, vectors and control measures, pathophysiology, types of infections and classification, clinical manifestations, involvement during pregnancy, diagnosis and treatment of dengue.

CONCLUSIONS: Although pregnancy does not increase the risk of dengue, facing the disease during pregnancy can cause serious maternal and neonatal complications. Currently, due to the absence of an antiviral treatment, preventive measures are essential in Mexico and in the rest of the world.
