10 Dengue Fever Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: Fever
As indicated by the name, dengue fever is often accompanied by a fever. However, these fevers can actually grow to be a lot more intense than common fevers attributed to a regular flu. Most normal flus and colds don’t cause a fever of more than 101 degrees.
The fever of someone experiencing dengue fever can reach up to 106 degrees. This is very high and will feel quite uncomfortable. Fevers generally occur when the body is attempting to rid itself of a bacteria or another pathogen. By raising the body’s temperature, the immune system makes it easier to attack and destroy invaders.
