The pathophysiology, aetiology, diagnosis, treatment,
symptoms, and indicators of virus hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are all covered in
this review article. Acute zoonotic diseases known as viral hemorrhagic fevers
(VHFs) initially appear to be related to platelet malfunction or destruction.
The term "Viral Hemorrhagic Fever" (VHF) describes a severe feverish
sickness characterized by aberrant vascular control, vascular damage, and
hemorrhagic symptoms. Multiple viruses belonging to distinct families are the
cause of this illness. The viruses that cause VHF are categorized into seven
distinct families according to the International Committee on Taxonomy of
Viruses' most recent classification: Hantaviridae, Nairoviridae, Filoviridae,
Phenuiviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Arenavidae, and Flaviviridae are the families
involved. The concept of virus hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) originated in the
1930s when Soviet researchers were studying hantaviral hemorrhagic fever (HF)
with renal dysfunction. Dengue fever/Dengue haemorrhagic fever and Kyasanur forest
sickness are the two most common viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) in India, that
are transmitted by arthropod vectors. There is currently no effective cure for
VHFs. Some people have responded well to ribavirin treatment for Lassa fever or
HFRS. The diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CCHF) in India is greatly
hampered by the co-occurring symptoms of hemorrhagic fevers such as dengue,
Kyasanur forest sickness, Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever, and other illnesses
such as leptospirosis, meningococcal infections, and malaria. The
pathophysiologic features of VHF include microvascular instability, increased
vascular permeability, and poor hemostasis, albeit the underlying processes
differ depending on the virus. Additional randomized controlled studies are needed
to find out more about the best way to treat viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs).
We want to investigate viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) further.
