Dengue fever is a viral disease caused by the dengue virus, which belongs to the Flavivirus genus. It is transmitted by mosquitoes, which can bite people and other animals, resulting in infection. Symptoms of dengue fever include high fever, joint pain, headache, weakness, chills and other symptoms. This disease can be dangerous to health and life, so it is important to know about it and take preventative measures.
Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family and is characterized by fever, muscle and joint pain, headache, and a rash on the skin and oral mucosa (yellow).
The main symptom of the disease is an increase in body temperature to high values, but an asymptomatic course of the disease is also common. Other symptoms may include headache, fatigue, muscle weakness and joint pain. Symptoms of intoxication such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain are sometimes observed.
The causative agent of dengue fever was first described in 1947 by Japanese researcher Tsugura Masatoshi. He discovered that fever caused by the disease was observed in people visiting endemic areas on the island of Java. In 1956, the American scientist Schonberger Newton studied this virus and described it as the causative agent of the disease.
The mechanism of infection of dengue fever is through the bites of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These mosquitoes transmit viruses when they bite people when they drink blood. In addition, infection can occur through contact with items previously handled by people with dengue fever.
The most common symptom of Deng fever is a fever of 40-43°C. You may also experience such weakness, and after the onset of fever, headaches as well. If you are experiencing Deng fever for the first time, you should have a very high fever, severe headache and lethargy. Also, if you have any
