Dengue fever can be defined as a debilitating viral disease spread by mosquitoes, not among humans. In serious cases, it can lead to severe pain in the bones, which is why it is called as ‘breakbone fever’. The first ever recorded case of probable dengue fever is mentioned in a Chinese medical encyclopedia from the Jin Dynasty (265-420 AD) which mentioned a “water poison” associated with flying objects. The first documented Dengue epidemics befell almost at the same time in Asia, Africa, and North America in the 1780s.
Each year, approximately 100 million cases of dengue fever are witnessed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, majorly in Asia, South America and Africa.
When it is mild, the symptoms of dengue fever starts showing within the first week of infection. They consist of:
Increase in body temperature
Signs of flu
Splitting headache
Muscle and joint pain
Stomach ache
Diarrhea and vomiting
Skin rash
When it gets severe, dengue fever symptoms can cause dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, which can even lead to death, although this is very rare.
