India observes Nation Dengue Day on May 16 as suggested by the Union Health Ministry to create awareness about the disease.
Dengue fever starts with sudden onset of fever, followed by severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and rash.
Though there are no specific antiviral medicines for dengue, early clinical diagnosis by physician puts the fatality rate from this disease below 1%.
Use of analgesics (pain reliever) with paracetamol, promoting patient to drink plenty of fluids and rest are important.
Use of acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. aspirin) and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. Ibuprofen) is not recommended.
Dengue is transmitted by bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito infected with any one of the four dengue viruses.
Patients who are already infected with the dengue virus can transmit the infection to other via Aedes mosquitoes during 4-5 days of onset of symptoms.
