Dengue fever has become a rising concern as cases of the communicable disease caused by the Dengue Virus continue to surge. The disease, primarily found in children aged 5-14 years, tends to peak during the rainy season between May and September. Given the potential severity of symptoms, swift action is necessary to curtail the spread.
The transmission of Dengue Virus occurs when mosquitoes, particularly Aedes mosquitoes, bite individuals already infected with the disease. The pathogens then make their way to the mosquitoes’ stomach wall and salivary glands. Subsequently, when these mosquitoes bite healthy individuals, they pass on the infection, leading to the manifestation of symptoms after a period of 2-7 days.
If an individual begins experiencing symptoms such as acute high fever lasting for several days, loss of appetite, red face, headaches accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and abdominal pain, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Additional symptoms could include the presence of red blood spots on the body, arms, legs, nosebleeds, bleeding from the teeth, or black stools due to bleeding. In severe cases, Dengue fever can cause shock, which is characterized by a sudden drop in body temperature and loss of consciousness, potentially leading to death.
Although Dengue fever predominantly affects children, it can also infect adults. It is essential to be vigilant and consult a doctor promptly if any symptoms arise, especially those indicative of shock, to prevent complications and fatalities.
The best measure to combat Dengue fever is to minimize the risk of mosquito bites. This includes eliminating mosquito breeding sites within and around homes, adopting preventive vaccination measures, and following guidelines prescribed by healthcare professionals. Not only does this reduce the rate of hospitalization, but it also lessens the severity of the disease. The ultimate goal is to prevent severe complications that can prove fatal.
The current Dengue fever outbreak necessitates increased public awareness and proactive measures to combat the disease. It is everyone’s responsibility to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their communities. Together, we can control the spread of Dengue fever and ensure the well-being of all. Stay safe, stay informed!
