Will the person die if they get Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever can be fatal, symptoms are usually more serious after a secondary infection from a different strain of dengue (there are 4 strains of dengue). Secondary infection can lead to Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever which can cause internal bleeding, if the symptoms are not recognized it can ultimately lead to death.
Why did a Dengue fever test come back positive when in fact the patient had Q fever?
Dengue is viral infection but Q fever is bacterial infection thanks
Does dengue patients need to take antibiotic?
antibiotics can be given to dengue fever patients for curing any super added infection.
How the dengue infection can be transmitted from a diseased to normal person by?
mosquitoes
Why gallbladder thickening in dengue fever?
the body is fighting the infection
What is the name of the microorganism responsible for dengue fever?
The name of the microorganism is the dengue virus.
What is Dengue serology IgG iGM?
antibodies against dengue virus which appear in the body in response to infection after Ig M antibodies
Can the dengue infection can be transmitted from a diseased to normal person by bedbugs?
Mosquitoes
What is dengue ns 1?
Dengue NS1 refers to the non-structural protein 1 that is produced by the dengue virus during infection. It is often used as a biomarker for diagnosing dengue fever, as its presence in the bloodstream can indicate an active infection. NS1 can be detected in the early stages of the disease, making it a valuable tool for timely diagnosis and management. Additionally, it plays a role in the pathogenesis of dengue, potentially contributing to the severity of the disease.
What if you get dengue a second time?
If you contract dengue a second time, there is an increased risk of developing severe dengue, also known as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. This occurs because the immune response to the second infection can be more extreme due to the presence of antibodies from the first infection, which may enhance viral uptake in cells. Symptoms can be more severe, leading to complications such as bleeding, organ impairment, and shock. It's crucial to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect a second infection.
Is dengue a bacterial disease?
No, dengue is not a bacterial disease; it is a viral infection caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes. The disease can lead to symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, and rash. There are four serotypes of the dengue virus, and infection with one serotype generally provides immunity only to that specific serotype, not to the others.
What is dengue NS1 Ag?
Dengue NS1 Ag refers to the non-structural protein 1 antigen of the dengue virus, which is a key biomarker used in diagnostic tests for dengue fever. This antigen can be detected in the blood during the early stages of infection, typically within the first few days after symptoms appear. Testing for NS1 Ag helps in the timely diagnosis of dengue, allowing for better management of the disease. Its presence indicates an ongoing infection and can aid in differentiating dengue from other febrile illnesses.
