The dengue virus: A worldwide hazard to human health: A literature review

Abstract

Aedes mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of dengue fever, a viral disease that manifests itself quickly and is caused by an RNA virus that is a member of the Flaviviridae family. Some of the symptoms that may be present include a fever that is not accompanied by any other visible symptoms, while others may include serious effects such as hemorrhagic fever and shock. The symptoms that are typically seen include a quick onset of high temperature, soreness in the muscles and joints, myalgia, a rash on the skin, episodes of bleeding, and circulatory shock. In cases of dengue infection, oral symptoms are not very common; nonetheless, there are certain circumstances in which mouth symptoms may be the only indicator that is evident. A diagnosis that is both prompt and accurate is absolutely necessary in order to reduce mortality. Despite the fact that dengue virus infections normally go away on their own, the prevalence of dengue illness has become a significant public health concern in nations that are classified as tropical or subtropical. On this page, you will find a complete review of dengue virus infections. This overview includes a discussion of the numerous clinical signs, techniques of diagnosis, differential diagnosis, as well as strategies for prevention and treatment.
