Dengue Fever is also known as Breakbone Fever. It is a contagious disease and is caused by the Dengue Virus. It is a tropical disease. Dengue Fever is carried by a few species of mosquitos, which then bite a person and passing the disease on. Also you can get Dengue Fever by using infected blood products or organs for transfusion or donation. This severe disease is more common in babies and children. It is found more often in well nourished children, ﻿ and women are more likely to get it than men. People with chronic diseases (like diabetes and asthma) have a more likely chance of dying than a person who doesn't have any diseases. ======

The symptoms of Dengue Fever include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains. Also you may have a rash which is similar to measles. ======

In some rare cases, the Dengue Fever can develop to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever which can lead to bleeding, low level of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage. Sometimes the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever can result to Dengue Shock syndrome which means that you can have a dangerously low blood pressure. If you don't get any of these types of symptoms after about 14 days after traveling or getting bitten then you don't have Dengue Fever. ======

No approved vaccine can prevent Dengue virus. The only protection from it, is protecting yourself from mosquitoes and their bites. To get rid of mosquitoes you try and stop them from breeding, which means removing stagnant water. ======
