10 sentence about dengue

Answer:-

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus.[1] Symptoms typically begin three to fourteen days after infection.[2] These may include a high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash.[1][2] Recovery generally takes two to seven days.[1] In a small proportion of cases, the disease develops into severe dengue, also known as dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.[1][2]

Dengue is spread by several species of female mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, principally Aedes aegypti.[1][2] The virus has five serotypes;[7][8] infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others.[1] Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications.[1] A number of tests are available to confirm the diagnosis including detecting antibodies to the virus or its RNA.[2]

A vaccine for dengue fever has been approved and is commercially available in a number of countries.[4][9] As of 2018, the vaccine is only recommended in individuals who have been previously infected, or in populations with a high rate of prior infection by age nine.[10][5] Other methods of prevention include reducing mosquito habitat and limiting exposure to bites.[1] This may be done by getting rid of or covering standing water and wearing clothing that covers much of the body.[1] Treatment of acute dengue is supportive and includes giving fluid either by mouth or intravenously for mild or moderate disease.[2] For more severe cases, blood transfusion may be required.[2] About half a million people require hospital admission every year.[1] Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is recommended instead of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for fever reduction and pain relief in dengue due to an increased risk of bleeding from NSAID use.[2][11][12]

Dengue has become a global problem since the Second World War and is common in more than 120 countries, mainly in Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.[5][13][14] About 390 million people are infected a year and approximately 40,000 die.[5][6] In 2019 a significant increase in the number of cases was seen.[15] The earliest descriptions of an outbreak date from 1779.[14] Its viral cause and spread were understood by the early 20th century.[16] Apart from eliminating the mosquitos, work is ongoing for medication targeted directly at the virus.[17] It is classified as a neglected tropical disease

Answer 2

Answer:

The mosquito-borne viral disease dengue has become one of the worst nightmares of the country. Also called ‘breakbone fever’ or ‘dandy fever’, it is caused by a family of viruses and is transmitted via aedes mosquitoes. Dengue begins suddenly, with more benign symptoms at first but which may get severe with time. The symptoms of the disease show in three to seven, and sometimes fifteen, days. They include fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes and rashes. Recovery from dengue does not take over a week unless the condition gets severe. Mostly asymptomatic, if the condition gets critical, dengue can be life-threatening.

Explanation:

The fever of dengue can attack anyone but those with weaker immunity are more prone to the disease getting severe when they are attacked. As it is caused by any of the five serotypes of the aedes aegypti, also called the yellow fever mosquito, dengue can happen multiple times to the same person. However, the person acquires immunity to the particular viral serotype which has already attacked him.

A more severe form of dengue is dengue hemorrhagic fever. The symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever include headache, rashes and fever besides bleeding in the body (haemorrhage), formation of red splotches on the skin, black coloured stool, bleeding in gums or nose and a weakened immunity. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is life threatening and can lead to dengue shock syndrome, which is as severe and fatal.

Dengue is caused by the bite of one of the many types of mosquitoes in the genus Aedes Aegypti, which has white stripes on their bodies and legs. It is caused when the mosquito has previously bitten a person who was infected. The pathway which is followed in case of the incidence of dengue is 'infected person to mosquito to another person'.

The spread of the dengue virus cannot happen directly from one person to another. It is not contagious and cannot spread through direct human contact. It needs an aedes mosquito for the virus to be transferred. Symptoms

The incubation period of dengue, that is, the time it takes for symptoms to show after the bite of a mosquito carrying virus, can be anywhere between three and fifteen days. The symptoms may show in parts as they begin with more benign symptoms such as headache, chills, fever, pain in eyes, loss of appetite and backache. Pain in joints also occurs in the first hours of the occurrence of dengue. One can experience fever of up to 104 degree Fahrenheit, low heart rate along with hypotension, that is low blood pressure. Besides these, there could be reddening of eyes, development of pink rashes on the face which may disappear and inflammation in lymph nodes and groin. The above symptoms appear in the first phase of dengue, which ideally last for up to four days. The second phase will begin with a drop in body temperature and sweating. But before this, you may experience that your body temperature has come down to normal and you would feel relatively better, but this will not last for more than a day and would lead you to the second phase of dengue symptoms. The third phase may see a rapid rise in temperature again, with rashes developing all over your body but your face. Doctors say that more than half people infected with the virus remain asymptomatic, that is, they do not show any symptoms. If you are suspecting dengue, you can be on a lookout for the following signs, however they may or may not show: - High fever - Intense sweating - Pain in joints - Nausea and vomiting - Loss in appetite - Drop in blood pressure - Skin rash - Swelling in hands and soles of feet If the situation worsens, there can be a drop in the level of blood platelets, blood plasma leakage or the blood pressure can drop down to a critically low point which may lead a circulatory collapse (shock).
