Dengue Fever

Dengue is a flu-like viral disease that is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes mosquito). It occurs in the tropical regions of the world and cases in the US are mainly travelers returning from abroad, although, risk is growing for people living along the Texas-Mexico border. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe and fatal complication of dengue.

1. clean your surroundings specially in the garden, dark places and where water can become stagnant.

2. burn some dried leaves/grasses mixed with fresh cut grasses (let it smoke it drives away the mosquitoes) and/or spray anti bug at your home. ( Remember: It's your health is as stake here. THIS IS VERY OPTIONAL)

3. wear long sleeves,jackets,long pants or jogging pants when going outside specially at the forest.

4. put some anti mosquito lotion in the exposed areas.

5. when sleeping put mosquito net around your bed and take a bath. mosquito loves smelly feet. =)

The best way is to avoid mosquito bites. Use of spray/coils/repellant creams in the house and sleeping under mosquito nets. Use of nets in the doors and windows or any opening in the house, and spaying of ponds and stagnant water around the area will also help as it prevents breeding of the mosquitos

Whenever one is bitten by a Vector mosquito. The mosquito becomes a vector after it has bitten an dengue infected carrier - usually another Human.

Clinical diagnosis of Dengue is conducted by laboratory testing on human serum and plasma tested for DENV SubT and dengue NS-1 (DENG NS-1), dengue IgG and IgM to confirm the presence of infection. To learn more, Visit: Dengue Biospecimens for Research l Order Online

Dengue fever primarily affects the vascular system, but it can also have respiratory implications. In severe cases, dengue can lead to respiratory distress due to fluid accumulation, hemorrhagic manifestations, or secondary infections like pneumonia. The inflammation and immune response triggered by the virus can result in respiratory symptoms such as cough or difficulty breathing. However, these respiratory effects are generally secondary to the more prominent systemic symptoms of dengue.

Children often experience symptoms similar to those of the common cold and gastroenteritis (vomiting and diarrhea) and have a risk of severe complications, though initial symptoms are mild but with a high fever.

nope, one can only treat the symptoms and hope to survive

which country inthe western hemisphere had the lowest dengue fever infection in the last five years? obtain and summarized.

Barbados, The Cayman Islands,St.Lucia, St Vincent and The Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago

9days for IgG state fever

13days for IgM state fever

In the 106 to 110 countries that it is found in, perhaps 5%.

Dengue is a dreadflul vectore borne disease . It hits in three forms

1. Classic dengue fever

2. Dengue Hamerrogic fever

3. Dengue shock syndrome

It has no medicines , no Vaccines. Only fluid management is the best solution when a person is suffering from this disease.

More importantly disease is spreading widely in developing and undeveloped countries. People are not capable of bearing the cost of treatment to disease.

After being bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus, the incubation period ranges from three to 15 (usually five to eight) days before the signs and symptoms of dengue appear.

Dengue starts with

chills,

headache,

pain upon moving the eyes,

low backache.

Painful aching in the legs and joints occurs during the first hours of illness.

The temperature rises quickly as high as 104 F (40 C), with relative low heart rate (bradycardia) and low blood pressure(hypotension). The eyes become reddened. A flushing or pale pink rash comes over the face and then disappears.

The glands (lymph nodes) in the neck and groin are often swollen.

Fever and other signs of dengue last for two to four days, followed by a rapid drop in body temperature (defervescence) with profuse sweating. This precedes a period with normal temperature and a sense of well-being that lasts about a day. A second rapid rise in temperature follows. A characteristic rash appears along with the fever and spreads from the extremities to cover the entire body except the face. The palms and soles may be bright red and swollen.

refered from:medicinenet

we were told by our clinical instructor that one reason no dark colored foods are given to a patient with dengue is that they're watching for signs of bleeding which may be seen in the stool and urine. dark colored foods cause these stuff to also become dark in color and to determine if it is due to the food or blood, a test like stool exam has to be performed..

No, the common cold is not a symptom of dengue. Typical symptoms of dengue include a fever, headache, muscle and joint pain and a pain behind the eyes.

There is no specific antiviral treatment for dengue, so management primarily focuses on supportive care. Patients are advised to stay hydrated, rest, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen (paracetamol) for fever and pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or aspirin should be avoided as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Severe cases may require hospitalization for more intensive care.

Malaria is not contagious. It is a parasitic disease that lives inside female Anopheles mosquitoes. Infected Anopheles mosquitoes infect humans by biting into the skin (with their parasitic saliva) and transferring the disease into the blood cells of the human. Therefore, only infected mosquitoes can infect humans with malaria.

----------------------*EDIT*------------------------------

Malaria is in fact contagious. If you get a blood transfusion from someone with malaria, it is possible it can be passed on to you. But, as far as coughing and touching goes, no.

Para maiwasan na makagat ng lamok na aedes aegypti (uri ng lamok na nagkakalat ng Dengue Fever), laging magpahid ng mosquito repellant lotion. At kailangan din iwasan ang mga stagnant water o huwag magimbak ng mga tubig na maaring bahayan ng mga lamok.

Infected RBC trigger platelet to produce PF4 protein, which activate monocyte (Macrophage) to clear platelet from circulation by sequestration in spleen. which leads to high production of platelet (so giant platelet ) and decreased platelet on smear.

As malaria parasite inter in blood stream and infect and destroy red blood cell. due to this symptoms like chills, headache occurs.

Diseases which may be transmitted via kissing include mononucleosis and herpes, in which the infectious organism is present in saliva. Research indicates that contraction of HIV via kissing is extremely unlikely, however a woman has been infected with HIV by kissing in 1997; both the woman and infected man had gum disease (so transmission was through the man's blood, not saliva.
