New Daily Persistent Headache Following Dengue Fever: Report of Three Cases and an Epidemiological Study.
Headache 2020 January
INTRODUCTION: Dengue fever is currently a significant public health problem as an emerging pandemic-prone viral disease in many parts of the world. Up to 100 million individuals, distributed in over 100 countries, are estimated to be infected annually, putting nearly half of the world's population at risk. The headache associated with dengue fever is considered to be very intense, bilateral, throbbing, frontal, and retro-orbital. New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a relatively rare headache entity. It has already been reported that systemic infectious disease may precede the onset of NDPH. We report the data of an epidemiologic study analyzing the cases of NDPH among 450 subjects who had dengue fever.
METHOD: The study was performed in a medium-size town in southeastern Brazil (Franca, population 370,000). During the year 2015, 600 cases of dengue fever were reported to the Franca Health Authority. All these patients were contacted by telephone, and 450 of the patients were located and interviewed.
RESULTS: Of these 450 interviews, three possible cases of NDPH were identified.
CONCLUSION: The observed prevalence of NDPH attributed to dengue fever was 1:150 cases of dengue fever (0.67%).
