Dengue Fever: Symptoms and Prevention


Dengue (pronounced DENgee) is a disease caused by the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. In this disease, a rash starts on the body with a high fever. Where it spreads like an epidemic, several types of viruses can be activated at one time.

Dengue fever is a very painful and disabling disease. There is a lot of pain in the body of the patient, so it is also called bone-breaking fever. This disease becomes common during the rainy season because this season the problem of spreading epidemics due to dirt is more.

Causes and types of dengue fever

There are four different types of dengue virus. If a patient gets an infection from one of these types of viruses, then usually he is protected from that type of dengue virus throughout his life. However, with the remaining three types, he is safe only for some time. If he is infected with one of these three types of virus, then he is more likely to have serious problems.

Dengue is usually of denv-1, Denv-2, denv-3 and denv-4 serotypes. Serotypes 2 and 4 are less dangerous than serotypes 1 and 3. Reduced fever and platelets with shock in type 4 dengue symptoms, while the acute decrease in platelets in type 2, hemorrhagic fever, limb dysfunction, and dengue shock syndromes are the major symptoms. Every type of dengue has a risk of hemorrhagic fever, but it is less likely than type 2 in type 4. Dengue 2 virus carries the risk of severe dengue.
