The weird fact linked to dengue is, it gets dangerous when fever start to reach at normal temperature. This is the time when person needs help. And, in the condition, your blood vessels become leaky and allow fluid to reach down to abdomen and lungs which can fail circulatory system and sudden death.

Congenital heart disease

According to experts,"Congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect, causing more deaths within the first year of life than any other defect." A one type of this disease is Ebstein anomaly, which occurs when the valve in the heart is abnormal that separates the right ventricle and the right atrium. Moreover, this inappropriate positioning cause blood to flow in the wrong direction, resulting in fluid buildup. In even severe cases, it leads to heart failure, blood clots, or deadly heart rhythms right after the birth of a baby.
