Is Hypertension A Part Of Dengue Fever?

Hi

My father was diagnosed with Dengue last week. He was hospitalised last week due to extreme dehydration. Since then, he has recovered well and is without fever for the past 3 days. His platelets counts is 160K.



However, for the past 3 days, his BP is in the range of 90-150 to 110-190. Earlier his BP was always normal.

Doctors say that hypertension is part of Dengue fever. I would like to ask if there is any complication.
