Warning signs of Dengue 

Dengue is a disease that causes flu-like symptoms and can be fatal. It's caused by four viruses: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. You can get Dengue from any infected person—but it's most often spread through Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue fever is a viral illness caused by the dengue viruses. There are four types of Dengue: classic, severe, pandemic and Japanese. The symptoms of Dengue include a high fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, rash and nausea. The virus can transmit through mosquitoes, but it's often transmitted person-to-person through direct contact with an infected person's blood or other bodily fluids.

How does Dengue caused

 

The disease spreads to humans through the bite of an infected female Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquito. The mosquito will then take up the virus from the human's bloodstream and spread it to others who breathe in tiny droplets of moisture containing the virus particles when they land on them. 

There are four types of dengue viruses: DEN-1 (a kind found in Southeast Asia), DEN-2 (a type found in Latin America), DEN-3 (a type found in Africa), and DEN-4 (a type found around the world). The first three types cause mild symptoms; the last one can cause serious illness. When people become infected with any of these viruses, they experience symptoms within two to five days after exposure. Over time—usually, around ten days—the symptoms lessen until they disappear completely after about 14 days if left untreated (although some people may have lingering problems.

Dengue virus transmits through the bite of an infected mosquito (mostly Aedes species) or when there's contact with broken skin or mucous membranes such as eyes or nose/throat. Dengue high fever remain for up to three weeks. The virus spreads by mosquitoes, who can then bite you and pass on the disease if they get inside your body. It's most common in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America but exists worldwide.

Warning signs of Dengue

The symptoms of Dengue are usually fever, body aches, headache, and severe joint pain, rash, nausea. If you have these symptoms, see your doctor right away. In some cases, people may also have sudden onset of vomiting, diarrhea or rash on their face or arms. Symptoms usually appear within a few days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor immediately.

Can you survive Dengue?

 

Some people who develop mild symptoms do not require treatment; however, those who experience more severe symptoms should seek medical attention immediately for support and care. Approximately 50% of people diagnosed with Dengue recover fully without needing any treatment, and 25% only require supportive care like fluids until they're feeling well. There are several ways to prevent this disease, including wearing protective clothing such as long sleeves and pants.

Dengue is most common in developing countries in tropical areas where high numbers of people live close to stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. It only affects humans and not animals or birds. The best way to avoid Dengue is to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquitoes are the primary vectors for Dengue and other diseases like malaria, yellow fever and chikungunya. You can take several steps to protect yourself from mosquito bites. You must take precautions before going outside (like using repellent) and throughout the day to avoid mosquito bites and insecticide-treated bed nets that cover your entire body at night (the CDC recommends this).
