January 2002 Dengue Fever WHAT IS DENGUE FEVER? Dengue fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any of four related dengue viruses. This disease used to be called break-bone fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain. Health experts have known about dengue fever for more than 200 years. Dengue fever is found mostly during and shortly after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa Southeast Asia and China India Middle East Caribbean and Central and South America Australia and the South and Central Pacific An epidemic in Hawaii in 2001 is a reminder that many states in the United States are susceptible to dengue epidemics because they harbor the particular types of mosquitoes that transmit it. The World Health Organization estimates 50 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases reported annually to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. From 1977 to 1994, U.S. health care workers reported to CDC 2,248 cases of dengue that had been imported into this country. Many more cases probably go unreported because some doctors do not recognize the disease. During the last part of the 20 th century, cases of dengue began to increase in many tropical regions of the world. Epidemics also began to occur more frequently, and to be more severe. In addition to typical dengue, a severe influenza-like disease-dengue hemorrhagic fever-also has been increasing in many parts of the world.

Specialist Answers DENGUE FEVER Q: What is dengue (pronounced as den- goo) fever? A: Dengue is a viral fever and is caused by 4 types of closely related viruses. Q: How does dengue fever occur? A: Dengue viruses spread to humans by the bite of female mosquitoes. These mosquitoes acquire the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person. The virus circulates in the blood of infected humans for 2 –7 days leading to fever. Recovery from infection provided immunity against that particular virus but offers only partial protection against the other three viruses. Infact, subsequent infection increases the risk of a more complicated fever called as " dengue hemorrhagic fever ".

Dengue viruses are transmitted during the feeding process. Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus . Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide cross-protective immunity, so persons living in a dengue-endemic area can have four dengue infections during their lifetimes. Dengue is primarily a disease of the tropics, and the viruses that cause it are maintained in a cycle that involves humans and Aedes aegypti , a domestic, day-biting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans. Infection with dengue viruses produces a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease. Important risk factors for DHF include the strain and serotype of the infecting virus, as well as the age, immune status, and genetic predisposition of the patient. History of Dengue The first reported epidemics of dengue fever occurred in 1779-1780 in Asia, Africa, and North America; the near simultaneous occurrence of outbreaks on three continents indicates that these viruses and their mosquito vector have had a worldwide distribution in the tropics for more than 200 years. During most of this time, dengue fever was considered a benign, nonfatal disease of visitors to the tropics. Generally, there were long intervals (10-40 years) between major epidemics, mainly because the viruses and their mosquito vector could only be transported between population centers by sailing vessels.

6. Dengue Fever - Travel Medicine For The Adventure Traveler By Alan Spira, M.D. , dengue fever is a viral infection common throughout the tropical regions of the world. It is spread by Aedes mosquitoes. http://www.armchair.com/info/spira7.html

Dengue Fever by Somewhere in Tanzania, maybe it was in Uganda, a lucky mosquito found its prey, zoomed in on its target and stole some blood from an unlucky human. This bite began innocently enough - happening during the day, not causing much of an itch - but several days later it lost all pretense of innocence. Lethargy, an unusual amount of tiredness, was the first sign that something was going awry. It was soon followed by a headache behind the eyes that throbbed and pounded, with a sensation of pressure like a kettle brewing and boiling. A fever, mild at first, but later intense with sweating, came bundled with ferocious muscle aches. These aches were rooted deep in the calves and back, and felt like being punched from the inside-out. The once-dinner-for-a-stray mosquito became apathetic and lost all appetite. What on earth could this be? Malaria? Typhoid? What, what, what? A funny pink rash showed up soon after. It didn't itch, it didn't bleed, it didn't hurt. It just spread - over the chest, belly, and back. It, along with the fever, lightened after two days but just two days later returned with even greater dramatic force. Ah, I think we have enough clues and a diagnosis now...

7. Dengue dengue fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, and Dengue Shock Syndrome. Dengue virus, first isolated in 1943, is the WHO shema (See Table). dengue fever has been recognized for at http://home.coqui.net/myrna/dengue.htm

Dengue Fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, and Dengue Shock Syndrome SUSCEPTIBILITY AND RESISTANCE Susceptibility is universal, but children generally have milder illness than adults. All four dengue serotypes produce clinically identical disease, and all can produce DHF and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) in decreasing order of frequency: serotypes 2, 3, 4, and 1. Individuals infected with one strain maintain lifelong homotypic immunity while remaining susceptible to infections with other heterotypic strains. Interestingly, DHF/DSS is more likely to develop if an individual previously infected with one serotype is later inoculated with a different viral strain. DHF and DSS usually occur as a second dengue infection in children and in infants born to dengue-immune mothers. Repeated episodes of DHS/DSS have not been described in the same individual. CLINICAL FEATURES DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER AND DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME Clinical criteria for DHF and DSS are shown on the Table on the previous page and include hemoconcentration (Hct > 20% of baseline), thrombocytopenia, and circulatory collapse, often associated with severe end-organ dysfunction. DHF and DSS are recognized primarily in children; in tropical Asia, DSS is observed almost exclusively among indigenous children 15 years of age and younger. Ilness is often biphasic, beginning abruptly with fever, malaise, headache, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, cough, and facial flushing. Severe bone and limb pain are often absent. Coincident with defervescence, the patient’s condition worsens with profound weakness and prostration, diaphoresis, restlessness, facial pallor and circumoral cyanosis, cool and clammy extremities, rapid but thready pulse, and a narrow pulse pressure (

There are many types of mosquito living in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, we can roughly them divide into two groups, CULEX and AEDES, but perhaps one of the most important is Aedes aegypti . According to the World Health Organisation, the virus for Dengue fever is the most important arbovirus to man in the world, and since Aedes has been found to transmit this virus, it has been widely studied and blamed as the vector. This mosquito is small in comparison to others, usually between three to four millimetres in length discounting leg length. It is totally black apart from white 'spots' on the body and head regions and white rings on the legs. The thorax is decorated with a white 'Lyre' shape of which the 'chords' are two dull yellow lines. Its wings are translucent and bordered with scales. At rest, the insect turns up its hind legs in a curved fashion and usually cleans them by rubbing one against the other, or exercises them by crossing them and alternately raising and lowering them, this may even be a way of helping digested 'food' along the alimentary canal, but this is just a guess on my part.
