Indumal was barely conscious at the Lady Ridgeway Children's Hospital in Sri Lanka. The year was 1997 and Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, was in the middle of a dengue epidemic. Indumal's parents recounted how their 5-year-old son had been perfectly healthy until 5 days ago when he developed a fever. On the fourth day he had started to vomit blood and became extremely lethargic at which point they rushed him to the hospital. The child's condition worsened and he died the following day in the intensive care unit. Analysis of his blood revealed that the cause of death was dengue hemorrhagic fever. Globally there are 2.5 billion people at risk of dengue virus infection. Each year there are an estimated 100 million cases of dengue viral infection worldwide with 250,000 people developing the more severe dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS), which is often fatal as in the case of this child in Sri Lanka. Dengue is caused by 4 closely related viruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Specialist Answers DENGUE FEVER Q: What is dengue (pronounced as den- goo) fever? A: Dengue is a viral fever and is caused by 4 types of closely related viruses. Q: How does dengue fever occur? A: Dengue viruses spread to humans by the bite of female mosquitoes. These mosquitoes acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. The virus circulates in the blood of infected humans for 2 –7 days leading to fever. Recovery from infection provided immunity against that particular virus but offers only partial protection against the other three viruses. Infact, subsequent infection increases the risk of a more complicated fever called as " dengue hemorrhagic fever ".

Home Yellow Fever Dengue Japanese encephalitis ... West Nile Virus Dengue Virus Profile The Dengue virus is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and is transmitted to people through the bite of the mosquitos Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus . Dengue virus is now believed to be the most common arthropod-borne disease in the world. Dengue is mainly found in the tropics because the mosquitoes require a warm climate. A major fear of epidemiologists is that the mosquitoes will develop resistance to cooler climates and then be able to infect people in the United States and other temperate climates. The virus is transmitted when a mosquito of the Aedes genus bites an individual infected with dengue virus. The virus in the blood of the infected individual then infects the mosquito and travels from the mosquito's stomach to its salivary glands were the virus multiplies. The virus is then injected into another person when the mosquito injects anticoagulants that prevent blood clotting when the mosquito is feeding. The mosquito remains able to transmit dengue for its entire life. Each year, 100 million people become infected with dengue virus. People first reported the existence of dengue-like disease in 1779 but it was most likely present long before in first appeared in literature. However, the majority of deaths that result from dengue infection result from Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). People who develop DHF have a 5% chance of death but if they go on to develop DSS then the mortality rate can rise as high as 40%.

April 2005 Dengue Fever OVERVIEW Dengue fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any of four related dengue viruses. This disease used to be called break-bone fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking, hence the name. Health experts have known about dengue fever for more than 200 years. Dengue fever is found mostly during and shortly after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa Southeast Asia and China India Middle East Caribbean and Central and South America Australia and the South and Central Pacific An epidemic in Hawaii in 2001 is a reminder that many states in the United States are susceptible to dengue epidemics because they harbor the particular types of mosquitoes that transmit it. The World Health Organization estimates 50 to 100 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases reported annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. Many more cases likely go unreported because some doctors do not recognize the disease. During the last part of the 20th century, cases of dengue began increasing in many tropical regions of the world. Epidemics also began occurring more frequently and with more severity. In addition to typical dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome also have increased in many parts of the world.

Dengue 3 Virus Family: Flaviviridae Genus: Flavivirus Dengue is a mosquito born infection that has become a global public health concern in recent years. Power: Major epidemics of dengue have occurred in the Caribbean, South America, the Pacific, Asia, and Africa. Dengue is a powerful health concern in many countries, especially in areas with urban slums and breeding places for mosquitos. The power of the virus is increased by that fact that at the present time, prospects for control are poor. Offences: Defences: As shown by the doctrine of original antigenic sin, the body has the same immune response as its first infection, even if this is not the appropriate response. This is the problem with dengue infections. Dengue only causes serious problems such as hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome during the second infection of a different strain of the dengue virus. Antibody dependent enhancement increases the ability for uptake of the dengue virus via Fc receptors, enhances virion replication, and therefore makes the second infection of a different strain of the dengue virus much more serous then the first strain. ? Because of the lack of cross protection between the dengue viruses, it is necessary to develop a vaccine protecting against all four dengue serotypes. There is no licensed vaccine for dengue because none of them guard against all for strains of the virus. The most common method for control is mosquito control, however it is hard to spray using insecticides because the Aedes aegypti live in places hard to reach with pesticides. Other problems with this methods is the appearance of pesticide resistant mosquitos. Control of mosquito breeding is possible by draining stagnant water supplies.

All WHO This site only Home About WHO Countries Health topics ... Contacts Media centre WHO WHO sites Media centre Fact sheets ... printable version Fact sheet N°117 Revised April 2002 Dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection which in recent years has become a major international public health concern. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban areas. Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), a potentially lethal complication, was first recognized in the 1950s during the dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand, but today DHF affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalisation and death among children in several of them. There are four distinct, but closely related, viruses that cause dengue. Recovery from infection by one provides lifelong immunity against that serotype but confers only partial and transient protection against subsequent infection by the other three. There is good evidence that sequential infection increases the risk of more serious disease resulting in DHF. Prevalence The global prevalence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. The disease is now endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, South-east Asia and the Western Pacific. South-east Asia and the Western Pacific are most seriously affected. Before 1970 only nine countries had experienced DHF epidemics, a number that had increased more than four-fold by 1995.

Dengue the Deadly Killer Government statistics put the latest figure of afflicted at 1,227 with 16 among them having died. Children have proved to be the most vulnerable group. Monsoon which is the high risk season is not even half-way through. So, the worries deepen. Dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever have emerged as a major public health problem. The primary vector mosquito has spread throughout the tropics and into susceptible human populations in urban areas. The urbanization process, which has left many without adequate water, sewer systems or waste management, and created new breeding grounds for the vector, has hastened the spread of the disease. Vector control has not halted the explosion in transmission of the disease. Basically, statistics, whether of official or unofficial origins, can hardly depict the inherently alarming dengue situation that faces us today. It is the scientific surveys carried out in Dhaka rather belatedly one must say after the alarm bell has actually started ringing and not before that which conjure up the real gravity of the situation. A DCC survey last month found out that eight out of its 10 zones have an alarming concentration of Aedes mosquito. More to the point, the normal larvae presence of 20 per container on the bruteax index (BI) has been dangerously outstripped by 215 larvae found in a single container. Little wonder, the number of adult Aedes in the city has risen five to ten times the normal level. Unchecked infestation of eggs and larvae has allowed zillions of adult mosquitoes to grow. If anything, the receding flood waters will only give them newer hang-outs.

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a virus that is transmitted by mosquitos. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with headache, fever, prostration, severe joint and muscle pain, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and rash . The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash, and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue. Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) is now reaching the peak of a roughly five-year cycle. It strikes people with low levels of immunity. An attack of dengue produces immunity for a year or more. Once this outbreak ebbs, more people will be resistant to the viral disease and the cycle will begin again. Dengue goes by other names including breakbone or dandy fever. Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain. Hence, the name "breakbone fever." Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to have "dandy fever" because of their postures and gait.

Dengue fever Dengue fever is a viral infection that typically causes flu-like symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, joint pains, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, often followed by a rash. Most cases are mild and resolve uneventfully in a few days. However, dengue sometimes causes excessive bleeding (dengue hemorrhagic fever) or a dangerous fall in blood pressure (dengue shock syndrome) that may be fatal. The available evidence indicates that that children under age 15 experiencing a second dengue infection are at greatest risk for severe disease, which implies that adult travelers who have never been exposed to dengue are unlikely to develop these complications. Dengue is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite preferentially during the daytime, especially in the morning and late afternoon (in contrast to Anopheles mosquitoes, the vectors of malaria, which are most active after sundown). Aedes mosquitoes are usually found close to human habitations, often indoors. They breed primarily in man-made water containers, such as jars, barrels, cans, cisterns, metal drums, plastic containers, and discarded tires. As a result, dengue is especially common in densely populated, urban environments, though it occurs in rural areas as well. The disease has been spreading in recent years, due in part to increasing urbanization, and is now endemic in more than one hundred tropical and subtropical countries (see the dengue fever world map produced by the CDC). In the United States, most cases occur in travelers who have returned from the
