Doctors found it hard to measure the child’s blood pressure. Immediately, the patient was given mechanical ventilation, anti-shock with electrolyte solutions, transfusion of blood products, and vasoactive and cardiac drugs.

According to the patient’s family, the child living in a Cambodian locality bordering Vietnam had a high fever for two consecutive days, but local treatment could not ease it. On the third day, she was very tired, vomiting blood, so her family took her to a private clinic in the Southern province of Binh Phuoc for examination. The child tested positive for dengue fever and was rushed to Children's Hospital 2 for further treatment.

She will be discharged from the hospital soon.
