Dengue Fever

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. This virus spreads among people through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. Symptoms typically begin three to fourteen days after infection. These may include a high fever, severe headache, vomiting. muscle and joint pains and characteristic skin rash. In small portion of cases, the disease develops into a severe hemorrhagic dengue fever. This results in bleeding and low levels of blood platelets. There are no specific antibiotics to treat dengue fever. Antiviral medications are also not indicated for dengue fever. Treatment of acute dengue is supportive care. Paracetamol is recommended for fever reduction and pain relief. Taking sufficient rest is also important. For more severe cases, blood transfusion may be required. Aedes mosquitoes typically lay eggs near standing water in containers that hold water, like buckets, bowls, animal dishes, flower pots and vases. So the best method of preventing dengue includes destroying mosquito habitat and limiting exposure to bites. This may be done by throwing standing water and wearing thick clothes that cover much of the body. Most importantly, everyone's awareness against dengue can halt the outbreak of this disease.
