Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that can cause flu-like symptoms, including high fever, severe joint and muscle pain, rash, and bleeding. It is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue can vary in severity, with some cases leading to a potentially life-threatening condition called severe dengue or dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Preventing dengue involves mosquito control measures, such as using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating mosquito breeding sites like stagnant water. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of dengue, it's important to seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
