Papers Dengue Fever (Centers for Disease Control) Provides information on the history, current trends, and future outlook regarding the disease that is transmitted though mosquitoes. 03-08 Dengue Fever (Wikipedia.org) "Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases, found in the tropics and Africa, and caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae.[1] The geographical spread is similar to malaria, but unlike malaria, dengue is often found in urban areas of developed tropical nations, including Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, India and Brazil. Each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur." 03-08 Dengue Fever Symptoms (Centers for Disease Control) Provides a fact sheet that includes symptoms. 03-08 Dengue Fever Treatment (Wikipedia.org) "The mainstay of treatment is supportive therapy. Increased oral fluid intake is recommended to prevent dehydration. Supplementation with intravenous fluids may be necessary to prevent dehydration and significant concentration of the blood if the patient is unable to maintain oral intake." "It is very important to avoid aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; these drugs may aggravate the bleeding tendency associated with some of these infections. Patients should receive instead paracetamol preparations to deal with these symptoms if dengue is suspected.[4]" 03-08
