What is Stage 3 dengue?

Stage III: Recovery phase. It takes a couple days for the patients to get back to normal. At this phase the patients will gain back appetite (A), have slower pulse rate (Bradycardia=B), have convalescent rash at legs and arms (C) and pass more water (Diuresis=D). You may recognize these steps by A-B-C-D.

What is the life cycle of dengue virus?

When the containers fill with water, mosquito larvae hatch from the eggs. After developing through four larval stages, the larvae metamorphose into pupas. Like the larval stage, the pupal stage is also aquatic. After two days, a fully developed adult mosquito forms and breaks through the skin of the pupa.

What are four types of dengue virus?

Dengue is caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family and there are four distinct, but closely related, serotypes of the virus that cause dengue (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4). Recovery from infection is believed to provide lifelong immunity against that serotype.

What is classical dengue fever?

Classic dengue fever, or “break bone fever,” is characterized by acute onset of high fever 3–14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms include frontal headache, retro-orbital pain, myalgias, arthralgias, hemorrhagic manifestations, rash, and low white blood cell count.

What kind of symptoms do you get from dengue?

Dengue (DENG-gey) fever is a mosquito-borne disease that occurs in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Mild dengue fever causes a high fever, rash, and muscle and joint pain. A severe form of dengue fever, also called dengue hemorrhagic fever, can cause severe bleeding, a sudden drop in blood pressure (shock) and death.

Which is the first stage of dengue fever?

Stages of dengue fever Stage I: The acute fever stage is within day 1 to day 5. The patient at this phase has a high fever (39-40 degrees celsius) with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting. Paracetamol and other antipyretic is important to lower the body temperature to provide the body with minimal fluid loss.

What’s the difference between severe and non-severe dengue?

First infection with one of the four serotypes usually is non-severe or asymptomatic, while second infection with one of other serotypes may cause severe dengue. Dengue has no treatment but the disease can be early managed.

What are the four serotypes of dengue virus?

Dengue virus has four serotypes (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3 and DENV4) First infection with one of the four serotypes usually is non-severe or asymptomatic, while second infection with one of other serotypes may cause severe dengue. Dengue has no treatment but the disease can be early managed.
