1. INTRODUCTION
Dengue fever is a viral infection spread by mosquitoes that causes a high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain,and rash.
It’s also known as break bone fever or 7 days fever.
Most people who get dengue will Not have symptoms. but for those who do, the most common symptoms are high fever,
headache, aches ,nausea and rash. Most will get better in 1-2 weak .Some people develop severe dengue and need care in a
hospital.

2. CAUSES
Dengue fever is caused by any one of four types of dengue viruses you cannot get dengue
fever from being around an infected person instead dengue fever is separated through
mosquito bites.
The two types of mosquitoes that most often separate the dengue virus are common both in.
.when mosquito bites a person infected with the dengue virus enters the mosquitoes. then
when the infected mosquitoes bites another person’s the virus enter that person bloodstream
and causes an infection.
After you have recovered from dengue fever you have long term immunity to the type of
virus that infected you but not to the other three dengue fever viruses types .This means you
can be infected again in the future by one half the other three viruses types you risk of
developing server dengue fever increases if you get dengue fever a second third or fourth
time.

.Frequently in urban and semi urban zones People exposed to infected mosquitoes of all aids
are suspectable to DENV infection., The envy infection causes dengue fever breakbone
fever and dengue shock syndrome has occurred.
The rainy season is the most favourable climate for DENV infection outbreaks in tropical
countries in Asia and South America., generally the infected female aedes mosquitoes
transmit The envy in humans. although humans are not capable, of transmitting DENV, it can
be transmitted during the blood transfusion between an infected person to a healthy person.
4. DIAGNOSIS
Unfortunately still the sign and septum Arthur foremost tools for the DENV infection
diagnosis. Fever are flu like fever is the initial tool or DENV infection. Today the well known
test for detecting the presence of the EMV include identification of the responsible viral
genomic sequence.
5. SYMPTOMS
Most people with dengue have no symptoms and will get better in one or two weeks Rarely
dengue can be saver an lead to death.
If symptoms occur, They usually begin For 210 days after infection And last for two seven
days

Successfully tackling the threat of dengue Represent a major public health Challenge for the
21st century. How coordinate multidisciplinary approach is necessary.
