Dengue is viral disease found primarily in urban and semi-urban areas of the tropics. It is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans. There are four types of dengue viruses, belonging to a family of viruses which include St Louis encephalitis virus, West Nile virus and yellow fever virus. What are the symptoms of dengue? What does dengue cause? Infection with dengue viruses produces an array of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral set of symptoms to a severe and fatal hemorrhagic (bleeding) disease. Three to 14 days after infection, people suddenly experience high fever, severe frontal headache, pain behind the eyeball, and joint and muscle pain; many experience nausea and vomit. A rash may appear 3-5 days after onset of fever and can spread from the torso to the arms, legs, and face. Most people recover completely within two weeks.

Search this site you are here: home page diseases Dengue Fever What is Dengue Fever? Dengue Fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne disease affecting an estimated 50 million people each year. DF occurs in all tropical and some sub-tropical areas of the world, usually in an urban setting. Before 1970 only nine countries had experienced DF, by 1995 this had increased four fold. Today 2,5 billion people worldwide live in areas that are at risk of infection. Humans contract the disease when bitten by an infected female Aedes mosquito. Mosquitoes remain infected all their lives and can in turn pass on infectivity to their eggs. In some parts of the world it has been seen that monkeys are also able to pass on the infection to mosquitoes. Endemic areas increase around the world due to trade (particularly tyre trade where mosquitoes breed in pools of water in tyres). After a bite from an infected Aedes mosquito, the virus circulates in the blood for 2-7 days, causing a feverish illness with headache and muscle pains similar to flu. Sometimes presents with a rash.

Program Transcript Robyn Williams: Did you see last week, that the University of Queensland scored $9-million to further their work on tropical diseases? It came from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and recognises the great tradition, fostered by names such as Dr Ralph Doherty, that’s flourished in Queensland. We sometimes forget that 38% of Australia is tropical and with global warming upon us, that’s likely to go up. John Aaskov from the Queensland University of Technology is one of those working on Dengue Fever, for which the grant was given, and here he talks about its history in Queensland and the promise of an effective response both here and in South East Asia. John Aaskov: As a young post-doctoral scientist recently returned to Australia, I was fortunate to be offered a position at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in the laboratory of the Director, Ralph Doherty. I have two debts to Ralph. The first was for introducing me to mosquito-borne viruses, initially the Ross River virus, which he discovered and which is now a household name in much of Australia. The Ross River title derives from the custom of naming these viruses after the locality from where they are first recovered.

Outbreak measures Victorian statutory requirement Dengue virus infection (Group B disease) requires notification within five days of diagnosis. School exclusion: case should be isolated until the fever subsides to prevent further mosquito bites. Infectious agent Dengue virus (DENV) has four related but distinct serotypes: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Identification Clinical features Dengue fever (break bone fever) Dengue fever classically presents as an acute febrile illness of sudden onset. It is extremely debilitating with fever lasting three to five days, myalgia (particularly backache), arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, anorexia, gastrointestinal disturbance, rash and increased vascular permeability. There is a high subclinical rate of milder disease in children compared to adults and a low fatality rate. Recovery from infection with one serotype of the dengue virus results in homologous immunity but does not provide protection against infection with other serotypes. Dengue haemorrhagic fever Method of diagnosis Dengue virus infection is diagnosed by a significant rise in antibodies to the dengue virus serotype.

Dengue Fever (Breakbone fever) www.Studenthealth.co.uk Most travellers are well aware of the risks of malaria. Dengue fever; another mosquito-borne illness is less well known, but one that you should know about. In most people it is a feverish illness with no serious consequences, but a minority of infections are complicated by the development of dengue haemorrhagic fever which can be life threatening. Most dengue infections occur in the Indian subcontinent, Central and South America and the incidence is rising dramatically in Africa. A few cases have been reported in the Middle East Travellers are most at risk in the rural areas of malaria zones, but dengue fever also poses a real risk in the urban environment as the mosquito has become well adapted to city life. Typical symptoms Fever Headache Muscle and joint pain Nausea Vomiting Rash The illness is referred to as ‘breakbone fever’ because the symptoms of muscle and joint pain can be particularly prominent. Most infections, particularly those in children are very mild and may go undetected. Severity tends to increase with age and with repeated infections. Symptoms normally last about 5-7 days. Treatment Rest Fluids Painkillers to help with the pain and fever. Paracetamol is better than aspirin as it does not interfere with blood clotting; a consideration in case dengue haemorrhagic fever develops.

Dog Heartworm Mosquito Diseases - Dengue Fever What is dengue fever? Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness that is temporarily incapacitating, but rarely fatal. The main carriers of the disease include the yellow fever mosquito, and the Asian tiger mosquito. These mosquito species live mostly in the tropical regions of the world. There are two types of dengue fever: Dengue fever which manifests itself as a flu-like illness. Dengue hemorrhagic fever which is a severe, often fatal, complication of dengue fever. What are the symptoms? Dengue fever is characterized by the following symptoms: Fever Headache Rash Muscle pain Nausea Enlarged lymph nodes Dengue hemorrhagic fever has the same above symptoms; however, the blood vessels start to leak and cause bleeding from the nose, mouth, and gums. Without prompt treatment, the blood vessels can collapse, causing shock to the system (dengue shock syndrome). Dengue hemorrhagic fever is fatal in about 5% of cases (mainly in children and young adults.)

Back to Infectious Diseases or Refugees Dengue Fever Updated 9/2001 Primary Distribution: East and West Africa, Southeast and East Asia, Pacific Islands, Eastern Australia, Central and South America, Mexico, South Texas, Caribbean Islands - with distribution increasing, especially in urban areas. Dengue fever is intermittently reported from Southeastern Texas. With approximately 150,000 deaths annually, dengue is now the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. There are approximately 80-100 million new cases annually worldwide and approximately 40% of the world's population live in an area at risk for dengue (Chin, 2000; World Health Organization [WHO], 1998; Ericsson, 1998). Agent and Vector: Dengue viruses (DVs) types 1, 2, 3, 4 (Togaviridae, Flavavirus) are transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. There is increasing incidence and prevalence of cocirculation of multiple serotypes. Incubation: 2-10 days. Clinical Findings and Treatment Signs and Symptoms: After the infected mosquito inoculates the host, the virus is replicated in local lymph nodes and within 2-3 days disseminates via the blood to various tissues. The virus circulates for 4-5 days in the infected monocytes, B cells, and T cells. Most patients are viremic at the point of clinical presentation with fever and clear the virus from the blood within a day of breaking the fever.
