Dengue Prevention

What is Dengue Fever ?

This is a disease prevalent in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Southern China, Taiwan, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico, Central, and South America. Mosquitos carrying dengue are most likely to be found in urban and semi-urban areas. In many parts of the tropics and subtropics, dengue is endemic, that is, it occurs every year, usually during a season when Aedes mosquito populations are high, often when rainfall is optimal for breeding. These areas are, however, additionally at periodic risk for epidemic dengue, when large numbers of people become infected during a short period.

Symptoms

Dengue fever is a flu-like illness characterized by a fever that may last from two to seven day. Additional symptoms include a headache, eye pain, muscle, and joint pains and a skin rash. In extreme cases, the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever
