Background
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection caused by the dengue virus (DENV) and spread by Aedes mosquitoes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dengue is a leading cause of hospitalisation and death in some Asian and Latin American countries.
Symptoms of dengue usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days. These include sudden high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting and skin rash.
There is no specific treatment for the disease, but with early detection and proper medical care, serious complications can be avoided. Supportive care with fluids, rest and medication for fever and pain is recommended.
