Symtoms of Dengue

Dengue




Dengue is transmitted by mosquitoes.

It is an acute, infectious, tropical viral disease characterized by fever, severe myalgias, and rash.

 Each year, dengue affects tens of millions of people, and an estimated 2.5 billion live in areas which are at risk of epidemic transmission.  Each year, the hemorrhagic form of the disease affects up to hundreds of thousands of people.  

Dengue, a flavivirus in the family Arboviridae, has four known serotypes (varieties recognized as distinct by the immune system).  The most severe form of the disease is dengue hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by thrombocytopenia, bleeding, and shock.  The hemorrhagic form continues to be the leading viral hemorrhagic fever in the world.

Symptoms include severe joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, headache, fever, exhaustion, and rash.
