DENGUE

Dengue (breakbone fever) is a fever of hot countries, due to an unknown virus conveyed by mosquitoes. At the onset there are chills, headache, severe pains in the eyes and muscles, swelling and flushing of the face and soreness of the mouth, with high fever. After two or three days' remission the fever and pains recur, and there is usually a rash with red patches which develop on the hands, back, thighs and legs; peeling of the skin follows as in scarlet fever. Convalescence is often prolonged from weakness, but the death rate is very low. Treatment is symptomatic, and the pains may require alleviation by morphia.
