Explanation:
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.
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.
The following precautions can be adhered to in order to prevent the incidence of dengue: - Ensure improved water storage - Ensure proper waste disposal - Strictly avoid water stagnancy - Use mosquito repellents containing 10 per cent DEET but ensure that you read the warning label on them carefully - Avoid dark colored clothing as mosquitoes are attracted to darker shades - Wear light colored, full-sleeved clothes - Opt for natural mosquito repellents like marigold and lemon grass Also, in 2016, World Health Organization has approved a vaccination for dengue, Sanofi Pasteur's Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV). It can be administered to people in the age group of 9 – 45 years in three doses in areas where the incidence of dengue is endemic. You can read more about it here.
