What Is Dengue Fever?
1. Dengue Fever
Dengue fever is a disease that sees millions of cases reported every year. It is most commonly found in the Western Pacific Islands and in Southeast Asia, although it is also becoming more common in the Caribbean and in Latin America. In most cases, the disease is only relatively mild even if it can cause some rather unwelcome symptoms.
There is also a severe form of dengue fever, however, which is known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. This is a condition that is very dangerous and may pose a very real threat to the patient’s life. There is no known vaccine or cure, but treatment is necessary that can help in most cases.
