Dengue fever does not spread from person to person!
But to-
Watch out for these two deadly mosquitoes!
Dengue fever is an acute insect-borne infection caused by the dengue virus. Because of the severe pain, it is also known as "broken bone fever". Some people have been abused to the point of hospitalization, and the platelet index has been cut in half.
Dengue fever is mainly transmitted by the bites of two "big brothers", Aedes albopictus (commonly known as Aedes versicoin) and Aedes Egypt.
△Aedes albopictus
△ Egypt Aedes mosquito
Only when a mosquito sucks the blood of an infected person, replicates the virus in its body, and the next time it bites, it can transmit the virus, that is, "the sick → Aedes mosquito → others". Mosquitoes are the bane!
The incubation period of the virus in humans is generally 3-14 days, with an average of 7 days. There is no specific susceptible population, and people of all ages are generally susceptible.
Dengue fever is currently endemic mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and the Pacific Rim islands.
How do you know if you have dengue fever?
The typical mortality rate of dengue fever is less than 1%, but if left untreated, it can become more than 20% severe. So, if you are infected with dengue fever, seek medical attention regardless of the severity of the disease!
Typical symptoms of dengue fever:
High fever, three pains, three reds + rash
👉 High fever: Sudden high fever (above 39°C)
👉 Three pains: severe headache, generalized joint pain, muscle aches
👉 Three reds: face red, neck red, chest red
👉 Rash: Congestive or punctate hemorrhagic rash on the limbs, trunk, head and face
The initial symptoms of dengue fever are similar to those of a cold or flu, but if you have a history of travel to dengue-endemic areas (tropical and subtropical) within 2 weeks, and you have the above symptoms, it is likely that it is not a common cold or flu.
At present, there is no specific drug for dengue fever
Treatment focuses on pain control with pain medications
Usually acetaminophen (paracetamol)
Avoid self-use of ibuprofen and aspirin
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,
They can increase the risk of bleeding!
So anti-dengue fever
The most effective way to do this is:
Other! By! Pestilence! District! Mosquito! Child! Bite! Arrive!
