Cause #10: Dengue Fever
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. The symptoms of dengue fever include high fever, skin rash, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, vomiting, and more. The recovery from dengue fever usually takes 2 to 7 days.
In cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever, the disease can become life-threatening due to low levels of platelets, blood plasma leakage, and bleeding. A vaccine has been approved and is available in several countries. Other prevention methods include using mosquito repellants and reducing exposure to mosquito habitats.
