The Disease
Dengue fever is a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes that bite during the day; it may be present in both urban and rural areas. Initially, dengue fever causes flu-like symptoms; high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, nausea and vomiting. A rash often follows. Dengue can last up to 10 days and complete recovery can take two to four weeks.

Occasionally, a potentially fatal complication of dengue occurs called dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). An immune reaction destroys the platelets, and, as these cells normally stop bleeding, the patient can bleed to death. DHF usually only occurs in patients having dengue for the second time.

The mosquitoes which spread dengue thrive in both cities and the jungle. Stagnant water caught in old tires, tins and broken flower pots are havens for the mosquito larvae.

SOS Comment
Dengue fever is found in many tropical countries, but it is more common in developing countries where travelers and expatriates are often at risk.
