Dengue Fever in India - A Review
Abstract
Dengue fever is generally a mosquito borne viral infection which is transmitted from female Aedes Aegypti mosquito to human or infected human to mosquito, this virus is classified into five serotypes. Presenting features may range from asymptomatic to symptomatic (High grade fever, vomiting, hemorrhage, joint pain, headache ..etc.) Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to reduce mortality. Hematological tests includes RBC count, WBC count and Platelet count. We can protect ourselves from mosquito bites by using mosquito nets treated with Permethrin and getting rid of mosquito breeding sites. It is important to see a doctor when the symptoms become severe.
