Introduction:
dengue is the most important arbovirosis worldwide, considered as an emerging infectious disease. Our country does not escape from this reality. Children are undoubtedly among the most vulnerable age groups.

Development:
the fundamental elements of the definition of a dengue case, evolutionary course of the disease, classification according to severity, positive and differential diagnosis, with emphasis on the timely treatment for the prevention of complications and death in pediatric patients with clinical suspicion are presented.
Conclusions:
this protocol does not replace the one approved by the National Pediatric Group, but complements and summarizes a series of aspects that are essential for the management of children with dengue fever.
