(dengue) Acute infectious, eruptive, febrile disease caused by four antigenically related but distinct serotypes of the dengue virus; transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, especially A. aegypti; classical dengue (dengue fever) is self-limiting and characterized by fever, myalgia, headache, and rash; dengue hemorrhagic fever is a more virulent form of dengue virus infection.

(dengue) An acute febrile disease transmitted by the bite of AEDES mosquitoes infected with DENGUE VIRUS. It is self-limiting and characterized by fever, myalgia, headache, and rash. SEVERE DENGUE is a more virulent form of dengue.

(dengue) An infection that is caused by the dengue virus, which is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, and which is characterized by sudden onset of fever, headache, rash, arthralgia, and myalgia. Occasionally, patients develop either dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a more severe form of the disease that is characterized by plasma leakage due to increased vascular permeability, or dengue shock syndrome (DSS), which can cause circulatory collapse and possibly death.

(dengue) Dengue is a viral infection. It can be caused by four related viruses. You can get it if an infected mosquito bites you. It is common in warm, wet areas of the world. Although rare, it can be found in some parts of the United States. Outbreaks are more common during rainy seasons. Dengue spreads to people through the bite of an infected mosquito. It does not spread directly from person to person. However, a pregnant person can pass the infection on to the baby. In rare cases, it can spread through a blood transfusion, organ transplant, or needle stick injury (an accidental injury from a used needle).. About one in four people infected with dengue will get sick. For those who do get sick, the infection can be mild or severe. The symptoms of dengue include: A high fever; Nausea and vomiting; Rash; Aches and pains (eye pain, usually behind the eyes, and pain in the muscles, joints, or bones). The symptoms usually last two to seven days. Severe dengue is a serious form of the illness. About 1 in 20 people who get sick with dengue will develop severe dengue. It can cause shock, internal bleeding, and even death. People are more likely to develop severe dengue if they have had dengue before, are pregnant, or are infants. Watch for signs and symptoms of severe dengue. Warning signs usually begin about 24 - 48 hours after your fever has gone away. If you or your family member have these signs, get immediate medical care: Severe abdominal (belly) pain and tenderness; Vomiting at least 3 times in 24 hours; Bleeding from the nose or gums; Vomiting blood, or blood in the stool (poop); Feeling tired, restless, or irritable. There is a blood test which can show if you have been infected with dengue. There is no specific medicine to treat dengue. Most people will get better after about a week. But if you think you might have dengue: See a health care provider and mention any recent travel.; Rest as much as possible.; Take acetaminophen to control fever and relieve pain. But do not take aspirin or ibuprofen.; Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Severe dengue often requires care at a hospital. In the United States, a dengue vaccine is approved for children who are ages 9 - 16. They must also have previously had dengue and live in areas where dengue is common. You can also help prevent dengue by avoiding mosquito bites: Wear insect repellent with DEET or another U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellent. Make sure to follow the instructions for using the repellant.; Wear clothes that cover your arms, legs and feet.; Close unscreened doors and windows. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

An acute infection caused by Dengue virus. Signs and symptoms include sudden onset of fever, headache, rash, arthralgia, and myalgia. It is transmitted through mosquitoes.

Dengue fever (DF), caused by dengue virus, is an arboviral disease characterized by an initial non-specific febrile illness that can sometimes progress to more severe forms manifesting capillary leakage and hemorrhage (dengue hemorrhagic fever, or DHF) and shock (dengue shock syndrome, or DSS).

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a flavivirus. Dengue fever usually results in abrupt onset of high fever, headache, myalgias, arthralgias, and generalized lymphadenopathy, followed by a rash that appears with a 2nd temperature rise after an afebrile period. Respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, and rhinorrhea,...

Dengue is the most common arthropod-borne viral (arboviral) illness in humans. Globally, 2.

Dengue (DENG-gey) fever is a mosquito-borne disease that occurs in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Mild dengue fever causes a high fever, rash, and muscle and joint pain. A severe form of dengue fever, also called dengue hemorrhagic fever, can cause severe bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure (shock) and death.

Dengue fever (DF), caused by dengue virus, is an arboviral disease characterized by an initial non-specific febrile illness that can sometimes progress to more severe forms manifesting capillary leakage and hemorrhage (dengue hemorrhagic fever, or DHF) and shock (dengue shock syndrome, or DSS).

Dengue infection is a globally important arboviral infection transmitted by the Aedes genus of mosquito (primarily Aedes aegypti , but also A albopticus ), an insect found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There are 4 antigenically distinct dengue virus serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. They are RNA viruses...

Dengue, acute infectious mosquito-borne fever that is temporarily incapacitating but rarely fatal. Besides fever, the disease is characterized by an extreme pain in and stiffness of the joints (hence the name "breakbone fever"). Complication of dengue fever can give rise to a more severe form...
