Dengue is an infectious disease that transmits to people by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquito. Reports of the disease have increased tenfold over the previous 20 years.
A fever, headache, nausea, and rash are among the most typical signs and symptoms of dengue. It can potentially be fatal in extreme and uncommon circumstances. Those who experience further infections experience more severe symptoms.
Dengue is more prevalent in hot, muggy, and crowded areas. Although it is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, the illness is currently endemic in more than 100 nations and is present on nearly every continent.
Approximately 50% of the global populace is in danger.
Painkillers are advised for self-treatment at home in the majority of dengue patients, when fever and joint pain are the primary symptoms. Hospital care is frequently required for severe dengue cases.
Dengue does not yet have a specific therapy, but scientists are making great efforts to remedy that.
