i know for a fact that the Death Rate is you will die within 4 hours of having dengue fever
Dengue fever is not fatal. The complication dengue haemorrhagic fever however is extremely serious and if not treated by experienced medical professionals has a survival rate of 1%.
The above statement "4 hour statement" is ludicrous and dangerous, it should be removed.
Dengue is a virus carried by a certain mosquito. Depending upon where in the world, largely due to available medical care the fatality rate is at worst, 5% and usually less than 1%. It is a painful disease often called "breakbone fever." The elderly and the very young (infants) are most likely to die, almost all between the age of 15 and 60, unless immune-compromised (due to leukemia treatment, Aids, etc.) will recover.
In most places in the world the survival rate is greater than 99%.

Can Dengue kill you?
The answer, unfortunately, is possible. There are four types of dengue virus. If a person is infected by any one of those four types, though it is not entirely impossible to die from it, it very rarely happens. It can even act like a vaccine, providing some immunity from the same type of virus to the infected person. However, if the same person (already infected by one of the four types some times before) gets infected from a different type, - any other of the remaining three, -dengue fever could develop into a more severe form, - earlier known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, presently called as Severe Dengue Fever. That severe form could be fatal. There is neither vaccination nor specific treatment against either Dengue Fever or its more dangerous form, the Severe Dengue Fever. However, prompt medical care could often save life even in the case of the severe form. Since Severe Dengue Fever patients are loosing serious amounts of body fluids, - including blood -, the most vital treatment is keeping the fluid level to optimal, thus diminishing the complications which could have lead to death.
