Infectious Disease

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, causing severe flu-like symptoms. Key symptoms include high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, and joint and muscle pain. While there is no specific antiviral treatment, supportive care can help alleviate symptoms. Prevention focuses on controlling mosquito populations and minimizing bites through the use of repellents and protective clothing. Risk factors include residing in or traveling to tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue poses an endemic threat in over 100 countries, making awareness and prevention crucial.
