Once a person has been bitten by an infected mosquito, it usually takes about a week before the symptoms of Dengue fever begin to appear. Chills, headache and extreme pain, especially in the lower back, can develop within hours. The temperature rises at a rapid rate and accompanied by a low heart rate, the patient is often rushed to the emergency room. The eyes become red and a pink rash appears on the rash.
The effects of dengue fever usually dissipate after two days when the temperature drops just as suddenly as it rose. The patient starts to feel well, but the disease will reappear after another day or so. In this second onslaught, the rash spreads over the entire body. The palms of the hands and the soles of the feet can become swollen, red and very sore. This will last for about a week.
There is no treatment specifically for dengue fever. The patient is treated with pain medication to make him/her more comfortable. It is important to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and to get lots of rest.
Dengue fever in children can be more dangerous. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a condition that causes severe abdominal pain, haemorrhaging and the collapse of the circulatory system. It starts in the same way as regular dengue fever - with a headache and fever, but it also has the symptoms of a flu, with a cough and sore throat, along with abdominal pain. Shock can occur within two to six days of the onset of this illness. Bruising is evident on the skin if bleeding occurs and the patient may be spitting up blood. The mortality rate from this condition is high and hospitalization is essential. In some cases blood transfusions are needed.
