It is spread by certain mosquitoes ( Aedes aegypti ) that bite primarily during the day. See also

HOME e-Mail About DOH Press Releases ... Health Hotlines Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an acute infectious viral disease usually affecting infants and young children. It is characterized by fever during the initial phase and other symptoms like headache, pain in the eye, joint pain, muscle pain, and other pain, followed by signs of bleeding such as petechiae (red tiny spots on the skin), nosebleeding and gumbleeding. If there is blood in the stools and/or blood in the vomitus and accompanied by shock, this is called Dengue Shock Syndrome and is often fatal. Dengue Video Clip Aedes Aegypti, the transmitter of the disease is a day-biting mosquito which lays eggs in clear water container, such as flower vases, cans, rain barrels, old rubber tires, etc. The adult mosquitoes rest in dark places of the house. What are the symptoms of Dengue H-Fever? 1. Sudden onset of high fever which may last 2 to 9 days 2. Joint and muscle pain and pain behind the eyes 3. Weakness 4. Skin rashes - maculopapular rash or red tiny spots on the skin called petechiae

INFECTIOUS DISEASES Medstudents' Homepage Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Introduction: Dengue fever is an acute febrile infectious disease, caused by all four serotypes (1, 2, 3 or 4) of a virus from genus Flavivirus, called dengue virus. It’s the most prevalent flavivirus infection of humans, with a worldwide distribution in the tropics and warm areas of the temperate zone corresponding to that of the principal vector, Aedes aegypti. When simultaneous or sequential introduction of two or more serotypes occurs in the same area, there may be an increased number of cases with worse clinical presentation (dengue hemorrhagic fever). The term ‘hemorrhagic’ is imprecise, because what characterizes this form of the disease is not the presence of hemorrhagic manifestations, but the abrupt increase of capillary permeability, with diffuse capillary leakage of plasma, hemoconcentration and, in some cases, with non-hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (dengue shock syndrome). Epidemiology: The highest incidence of dengue is in southeast Asia, India and the American tropics, where A. aegypti can be found. In the 1980s, dengue emerged in explosive epidemics in Rio de Janeiro (1986 - serotype 1 and 1990 - serotype 2 was isolated in Niterói city), São Paulo and in many other towns and cities in Brazil. In areas such as southeast of Asia, where all four dengue virus types are hyperendemic, children are almost exclusively affected, and seroprevalence approaches 100% by young adulthood. Transmission occurs by the bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes - the same vector of urban yellow fever - a day-active species with low fly-autonomy that is abundant in and around human habitations. In Brazil and other countries Aedes albopictus may also be responsible for transmission. Viremic humans (till the fifth day of disease) serve as the source of virus for mosquito infection; there is not person-to-person transmission. Movement of viremic humans provides the principal means of spread, and rapid air travel is a factor in most recent epidemic emergences.

Infection with one of these antigenically distinct virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4) does not provide cross-protective immunity, so persons living in a Dengue endemic area can have four Dengue infections during their lifetimes. The first reported epidemics of dengue fever occurred in 1779 to1780 in Asia, Africa, and North America. During that time, dengue fever was considered a benign, nonfatal disease of visitors to the tropics. Generally, there were long intervals (10 to 40 years) between major epidemics, mainly because the viruses and their mosquito vector could only be transported between population centers by sailing vessels. Certain types of mosquitoes spread Dengue fever and DHF. (Aedes aegypti and in some cases, the Aedes albopictus) The viruses that cause Dengue is maintained in a cycle that involves humans and the Aedes aegypti mosquito which prefers to feed on humans. Dengue is primarily a disease of the tropics. The disease occurs mainly in tropical Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. However, Dengue has become much more prevalent in many areas of the globe in recent years.
