DENGUE

Dengue is a viral illness transmitted through mosquito bites that infects over 400 million people annually. It causes symptoms ranging from fever and joint pain to potentially lethal complications. While prevention focuses on controlling the Aedes mosquito vector and developing vaccines, current challenges include its extensive global impact and difficulties with containment due to climate and urbanization factors.

DENGUE
Dengue, also known as Dengue Fever, is a viral illness caused by
the Dengue virus, which is transmitted to humans primarily
through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, most commonly
Aedes aegypti.
EPIDEMIOLOG
•

•
Y
Dengue is a major global health problem, with over 100
countries at risk.
Approximately 400 million people are infected each year,
leading to about 22,000 deaths.
• Outbreaks can occur during the rainy season when mosquito
breeding sites multiply.

TREATMENT
• There is no specific antiviral treatment for Dengue.
• Supportive care, such as adequate hydration and pain relief,
is essential.
• Hospitalization is often required for severe cases.
PREVENTION
• The best way to prevent Dengue is by reducing mosquito
exposure.
• This includes using mosquito repellents, wearing protective
clothing, and eliminating breeding sites by clearing stagnant
water.
CHALLENGE
•
S
Controlling Dengue is challenging due to the complex
interaction between the virus, mosquitoes, and human
populations.
• Climate change and urbanization can exacerbate the spread
of the disease.
SUMMARY

In summary, Dengue fever is a viral illness


transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, with a wide range
of symptoms, from mild to severe. It poses a
significant global health threat, and prevention efforts
focus on mosquito control and, when available,
vaccination. Early diagnosis and prompt medical care
are crucial for managing the disease effectively.
