“Dengue fever”

• Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
• Symptoms of dengue fever include severe joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, headache, fever, exhaustion, and rash. The presence of fever, rash, and headache (the "dengue triad") is characteristic of dengue fever.
• Dengue virus is prevalent in the tropical and subtropical areas.
• Because Dengue fevers is caused by a virus, there is no specific medicine or antibiotic to treat it. For typical dengue fever, the treatment is directed toward relief of the symptoms (symptomatic treatment).
• The prevention of dengue fever requires control or eradication of the mosquitoes carrying the virus that causes dengue.
