dengue Fever – Information Sheet
by Imran khan Wed Sep 21, 2011 4:02 pm
Key Points:
* Caused by a virus.
* Transmitted by mosquitoes.
* No direct human to human transmission.
* All tropical parts of world, both urban and rural.
* Year-round transmission, but rainy season increases mosquito breeding.
Signs and Symptoms:
* High fever (3-7 days).
* Intense headache.
* Painful joints and muscles.
* Pain behind eyes.
* Often a rash (may appear as fever reduces).
* Dangerous complications can occur - hemorrhagic or shock syndrome.
* Bleeding under skin, gums, nose, or in vomit.
A Mosquito-borne Disease:
* “Tiger” mosquitoes (white stripes/black body).
* Aedes aegypti
* Aedes albopictus
* Day-time biting.
* Breeding in HUMAN-MADE containers with clean water.
Prevention by Environmental Cleanup of Breeding Containers:
* Old tyres.
* Dispose, cover, or fill with earth.
* Water storage (tanks, drums, jars, overhead tanks, coolers).
* Cover to keep out mosquitoes (can use rustproof mesh or screen).
* Add Abate® (temephos) to kill larvae in the water.
* Small containers and garbage - clean up / bury / burn.
* Tins, bottles, coconut shells, garbage, anything that collects water.
* Cooler and drip-pans, flower pots, animal water dish, ant traps, etc.
* Empty water every week, both indoors and outdoors.
Regular Preventive Action:
* Every week have “Dry Day”.
* Cleanup, drain, empty, or change all standing water in your compound, both indoors and outdoors.
* Check water storage.
* Tank cover in good condition.
* Check no larvae swimming in water.
* Can treat with Abate® (temephos) (or use fish in ponds).
Personal Prevention:
* Mosquito repellant when outdoors during daytime.
* Flywire/screening on doors and windows.
* Mosquito coils or vapor mats.
* Mosquito nets for children or elderly who sleep during the day.
* None of these are effective by themselves alone, use combination.
Treatment:
* No specific treatment – no curative drug is available.
* Use supportive care – pain relief, drink fluids, rest.
* Use panadol (paracetamol).
* Do not use aspirin (salicyclic acid), do not use ibuprofen.
* WATCH for bleeding symptoms of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever.
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (severe dengue with complications)
* High fever with Bleeding Symptoms – Rush to hospital:
* Blood spots under the skin (petechiae).
* Bleeding from gums.
* Nose bleeding (epistaxis).
* Vomiting blood (hematemesis).
* Caused by a virus.
