    Dengue fever is caused by dengue viruses transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It causes flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, muscle and joint pains. While there is no vaccine or specific treatment, prevention focuses on eliminating mosquito breeding sites and reducing exposure to bites. Community cooperation is needed to remove stagnant water, dispose of trash properly, and use environmental controls and repellents.

    What is Dengue Fever?


    Dengue fever, also know as
    breakbone fever, is an acute
    communicable disease caused by
    virus.
    Infectious agent: Dengue viruses
    (categorize into types 1,2,3,4)

    Vectors of Dengue Fever


    Aedes aegypti
    Aedes albopictus

    Vector
    Aedes
    albopictus
    The life cycle of a vector mosquito is divided
    into the 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult

    Mode of Transmission
    A healthy person gets the disease when he is
    bitten by an infected mosquito. The virus enters
    his blood from the mosquitos saliva.
    An infected person could transmit the virus to
    mosquitoes if he is bitten by a mosquito anytime
    from the onset to the subsidence of the fever (a
    period of about 6 to 7 days). The disease is then
    spread by mosquitoes.
    Dengue fever is not spread by contact
    with infected persons.

    Healthy person
    Incubation Period: 3 to 14 days
    Most commonly 4 to 7 days

    dengue

    Dengue
    haemorrhagic
    fever
    7

    Symptoms of
    Classical Dengue
    Fever: continuous for 3 to 5 days
    Severe headache
    Painful limbs, joint pain, muscle
    pain, back pain, pain behind
    eyeballs
    8

    Symptoms of
    Classical Dengue
    Rash appears on the 3rd to 4th day after onset.
    Nausea, vomiting.
    Slight gum bleeding and nasal bleeding.
    Extreme fatigue and depression may follow
    recovery.
    In very rare cases, the condition may worsen
    into dengue haemorrhagic fever, leading to
    haemorrhage, shock or even death.

    WHO GRADING OF DHF


    Grade 1: fever, positive hess test
    Grade 2: features of grade 1+ spontaneous
    bleeding into skin or from other sites
    Grade 3: circulatory failure manifested by
    rapid week pulse, hypotension or low pulse
    pressure, cold and clamy skin, restlessness
    Grade 4: profound shock manifested by
    unrecordable BP and pulse
    10

    Treatment
    At present, there is no drug that
    can treat dengue fever effectively.
    Patients infected with classical
    dengue usually recovers in 1 to 2
    weeks.
    For serious cases, supportive
    treatments are provided by
    hospitals.
    If you suspect that you have
    dengue fever, you should seek
    medical treatment promptly.
    11

    Treatment
    Wiping the body with warm
    water and proper use of
    anti-pyretic drugs that can
    relieve the fever.
    Dont take aspirincontaining drugs because
    they worsen the
    haemorrhage.
    12

    Control the Spread of


    Dengue Fever

    Prevent the patient from being


    bitten by mosquitoes.

    13

    Prevention of
    Mosquito Bites
    Avoid going out in the hours
    when Aedes albopictus feed
    or wear light-coloured,
    long-sleeved clothing and
    trousers.

    14

    Prevention of
    Mosquito Bites
    Apply DEET-containing
    mosquito-repellents
    over exposed parts of
    the body and clothes
    every 4 to 6 hours.
    For DEET products
    used by children, its
    concentration should
    be less than 10%.
    15

    Prevention of
    Mosquito Bites
    Your place of
    accommodation should
    have air-conditioners or
    mosquito nets. Otherwise,
    hang mosquito screens
    around your bed, use
    insecticides or coil
    incenses to repel
    mosquitoes.
    16

    Prevention of
    Mosquito Bites
    Install mosquito nets
    to doors and windows
    so that mosquitoes
    cant get in.

    17

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    The most effective way
    to eliminate
    mosquitoes is to
    keep the environment
    clean and to remove
    stagnant water so that
    mosquitoes cant
    breed.
    18

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    Cover water containers
    tightly so that
    mosquitoes cant get in
    to lay eggs.

    19

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    Dispose of domestic
    wastes properly to
    prevent the
    accumulation of
    stagnant water.
    Dispose of empty bottles,
    cans and lunchboxes
    properly, such as into a
    covered bin.
    20

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    Change water for vases
    and aquatic plants at
    least once a week,
    leaving no water under
    the pots or in the
    bottom saucers.
    Scrub the container
    surfaces thoroughly to
    21

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    Remove or puncture any
    dumped tyres to prevent
    the accumulation of
    stagnant water.

    22

    Elimination of Mosquitoes

    Ditches should be free from blockage.


    23

    Elimination of Mosquitoes

    Fill up uneven ground surfaces to prevent the


    accumulation of stagnant water.
    24

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    Remove stagnant
    water immediately if
    mosquitoes are found
    to be breeding. Use
    environmentally
    friendly insecticides
    such as lavicidal oil if
    necessary.
    25

    Elimination of Mosquitoes
    In cultivation ponds,
    water tanks or large
    containers, biological
    controls such as
    keeping fishes to eat
    mosquito larvae
    would be a good
    option.
