After a primary dengue infection, immunity typically lasts for several months to a few years, but it is not lifelong. While the body develops antibodies that provide some protection against the same serotype of the virus, this immunity does not extend to other dengue serotypes. Subsequent infections with different serotypes can lead to more severe forms of the disease, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever. Therefore, it is important to remain cautious even after recovering from a primary infection.
In past 2-3 years India was affected by the Dengue the most .
dengue fever is one of several viral diseases transmitted via an infected vector, namely the aedes aegypti mosquito. its seems logical to curb the mosquito carrier to prevent transmission to humans, however controlling mosquito populations has up to now been inadequate. vaccination is still years in the future, its development may offer a much effective way of preventing this disease. current dengue fever programs involves education, mosquito control and topical insect repellants- lowell n. avenido, md
Yellow fever is caused by a small virus that is spread by the bite of mosquitoes. This disease is common in South America and in sub-Saharan Africa. Anyone can get yellow fever, but the elderly have a higher risk of severe infection. If a person is bitten by an infected mosquito, symptoms usually develop 3 - 6 days later.
Our common household mosquito - that is why it is so dangerous to get bitten by any mosquito. Dengue fever is different from our West Nile Virus of which our mosquito is the vector in that your second case of dengue fever can be deadly. It appears that the resistance your body develops to the first attack actually works with the virus on the second attack. That is why they are saying it is going to be 5 years or more before a treatment can be developed.
They can be classified into four as with the different virus serotypes or depending on the severity. Dengue fever is described as being milder with flu-like symptoms at first then having the "triad" of fever,rash and headache. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever(DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome(DSS) is the more severe form, wherein a person at some time had the virus and is reinfected.This presents with small purplish spots in the skin where blood is leaking and internal bleeding as well.there are 4 types of dengue
Chikungunya (in the Makonde language "that which bends up") virus (CHIKV) is an insect-borne virus, of the genus Alphavirus, that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedesmosquitoes.[1] There have been recent breakouts of CHIKV associated with severe illness. CHIKV infection causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever, with an acute febrilephase of the illness lasting only two to five days, followed by a prolonged arthralgic disease that affects the joints of the extremities. The pain associated with CHIKV infection of the joints persists for weeks or months, or in some cases years.[2][3]
It is possible for someone to be infected with HIV for a very long time before they experience any symptoms or signs of infection. Some people may be infected for years without knowing. The amount of time varies depending on the person's lifestyle and how their body responds to the infection. Regular HIV testing is the only way to know one's status.
Apparently yes! My husband contracted Dengue about 3 years ago in Bali and now has a recurrence of it, although milder than before he is still feeling very tired and generally unwell. What I'm not sure of is if this is something that stays in your system or was he bitten by another Dengue carrying mosquito here in Bali?!
