Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a flavivirus. Dengue fever usually results in the abrupt onset of high fever, headache, myalgias, arthralgias, lymphadenopathy, and a rash that appears with a 2nd temperature rise after an afebrile period. Respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, and rhinorrhea, can occur. Dengue can also cause potentially fatal hemorrhagic fever with bleeding tendency and shock. Diagnosis involves PCR and serologic testing. Treatment is symptomatic, including meticulously adjusted intravascular volume replacement.
Delhi and West Bengal states were affected by Dengue fever and several states in South India by Chikungunya fever.
Please see the web pages for more details on Dengue fever and Dengue hemorrhagic fever.
