What is Dengue Fever?

Dengue fever, also called Breakbone Fever and Dandy Fever, is an infectious disease caused by a virus. These viruses are transmitted by several mosquito species.

Dengue viruses are of four types; getting infected with one provides lifelong immunity against that particular type and immunity for short periods against the other types.

A mild Dengue fever may progress into severe complications like Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever — causing bleeding, leakage of blood plasma and low levels of platelets — or Dengue Shock Syndrome, in which blood pressure gets extremely reduced and could lead to a life-threatening situation.

This disease is very common in tropical and subtropical regions. Currently, no vaccine is available to prevent Dengue, so precautions against mosquitoes are essential. If symptoms are ignored and not treated with due care, it can prove to be fatal. This disease is not communicable from human to human.

Symptoms

Headaches
Pain in joints and muscles
Low blood pressure
Fever
Skin rashes
Swollen glands in neck and groin
Backache
Vomiting and nausea
Pain and reddening of eyes
Bleeding from nose or gums
Loss of appetite

Causes

Being bitten by mosquitoes belonging to Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus species is the major cause of Dengue
When these mosquitoes feed upon a person infected by any of the four dengue viruses, they too become infected and pass on the viruses to the next healthy person they bite
Mosquitoes act as the major communicator of this disease
Recurrent attacks of varying intensities can occur in people who are bitten by infected mosquitoes regularly
