Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, is on the rise in Pakistan, and thousands of patients have been diagnosed throughout the country.

What is dengue

Dengue fever (also known as dengue) is a disease caused by a family of mosquito-borne bacteria.

According to experts, it is a painful disease of sudden onset that often follows a dangerous course with symptoms.

 

What About Dengue Fever:

Dengue fever is described primarily as a general illness caused by an infection in a company called a Flavivirus virus. Some people are unaware that the virus has been classified into four main types. The disease mainly occurs during the bite of Aedes Egypt mosquitoes in Egypt. It can be said that the disease is a tropical disease and is present in large parts of Latin and South America. The condition is spreading in Asian countries such as India and Pakistan

.

Causes of Dengue

Dengue is caused by four different germs and is spread by Aedes mosquitoes - which black and white stripes can identify on their body.

Only female mosquitoes transmit the virus. The female mosquito is a nuisance during the day, both inside and outside the home. It is most effective in the hours after sunrise and before sunset.

Dengue fever mosquitoes thrive in stagnant waters, including mud, water tanks, containers, and old tires.

Lack of proper sanitation and regular garbage collection contribute to the spread of these mosquitoes.

It can also be noted that dengue fever is most common during the rainy season and from September to December.

 

Symptoms of Dengue Fever

Symptoms of dengue fever usually start after 5-6 days of infection. And, in some cases, these symptoms are mild and may be mistaken for infection with the virus and the flu.

 

Other common symptoms of dengue

  • Severe headaches
  • Pain behind the eyes
  • Severe joint pain
  • Fatigue
  • Swollen glands
  • Red palms and feet
  • Blood through urine, feces, or vomiting
  • Sudden flu
  • Nausea
  • vomiting
  • Anger or restlessness
  • Skin rash
  • Slight bleeding in the nose and gums

Note: Flu is the most common symptom of dengue. However, in some cases, the person does not show any signs.

 

Leading Causes of Dengue Fever:

Dengue fever can spread from person to person. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito called Aedes Egyptian. The most common species of Aedes mosquitoes live in freshwater life close to human settlements and bite all day long. The interval between bites and the onset of symptoms is usually two to seven days. Aedes mosquitoes even respond to the spread of different diseases such as yellow fever and Chikungunya virus fever.
