class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dengue is an acute viral infection with the primary carrier being Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, although in the tropics, Aedes albopictus can also act as a vector for the illness. It presents as an acute flu-like illness and it usually resolves within one week, but severe forms do exist and can cause serious health problems. Four distinct serotypes make up the categories of dengue, each causing a unique immune response upon infection.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DEN-1 produces milder symptoms in primary encounters but heightens severity risks later.<\/li>\n<li>DEN-2 correlates strongly with hospitalisations due to intense vascular leakage.<\/li>\n<li>DEN-3 emerges periodically, often sparking localised outbreaks in urban India.<\/li>\n<li>DEN-4 generally causes less aggressive disease, though cross-protection varies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_does_dengue_fever_affect\"><\/span><strong>Who does dengue fever affect?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dengue fever\u00a0impacts individuals across all demographics, though certain groups encounter elevated risks owing to lifestyle, location, or immune status. Urban dwellers in monsoon-prone areas face frequent exposure from breeding sites like water storage tanks. Children under 15 and young adults predominate in case reports across India.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Children experience high fever and rashes more prominently, requiring vigilant monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Pregnant women risk premature labour or low birth weight from severe episodes.<\/li>\n<li>Travellers returning from endemic zones like Southeast Asia carry silent infections.<\/li>\n<li>Immunocompromised patients face prolonged recovery and complications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prior exposure detectable via\u00a0IgG Antibody Test\u00a0influences severity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_common_is_dengue_fever\"><\/span><strong>How common is dengue fever?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>India reports lakhs of\u00a0dengue fever\u00a0cases annually, peaking July to October. Urban clusters in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai overwhelm hospitals. Climate change extends breeding seasons. Government surveillance tracks trends effectively.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_dengue_infection\"><\/span><strong>Symptoms of dengue infection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Signs appear 4-10 days post-bite, varying from mild to alarming.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High fever reaches 104\u00b0F, lasting 2-7 days with chills.<\/li>\n<li>Severe headache throbs behind eyes, worsened by movement.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle and joint aches earn the nickname breakbone fever.<\/li>\n<li>Nausea leads to vomiting, alongside rash on limbs.<\/li>\n<li>Mild bleeding shows as nosebleeds or gum spots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watch for recovery phase drops indicating severity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_dengue_fever\"><\/span><strong>Causes of dengue fever<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dengue fever is caused mainly by mosquito vectors that thrive in stagnant water during humid seasons. The female Aedes mosquitoes get the virus from infected humans and, through bites, pass it on, creating continuous cycles in highly populated areas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is stagnant water in flowerpots, discarded tyres, and overhead tanks that serve as breeding grounds for dengue-spreading mosquitoes.<\/li>\n<li>Daytime biting habits of the mosquitoes usually correspond with household activities, increasing contact risks.<\/li>\n<li>There are four viral serotypes that circulate, with disease severity often worsened by secondary infections.<\/li>\n<li>Urbanization as well as shifts in climate can extend transmission beyond the season of monsoon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dengue fever cases can escalate without reduction of the source at the community-wide level.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diagnosis_and_tests_for_dengue\"><\/span><strong>Diagnosis and tests for dengue<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reliable diagnosis and testing for dengue depends on laboratory confirmation during the acute phase, distinguishing dengue fever from similar sicknesses such as chikungunya or malaria. Timing is no doubt crucial, because while viral loads tend to peak early, its antibodies grow only later. Healthcare providers select tests depending on your symptom onset and general availability.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acute_phase_0-7_days_after_symptom_onset\"><\/span>Acute phase: 0-7 days after symptom onset<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc\">\n<li>NAAT (Nucleic acid amplification test) (e.g. RT-PCR) and Dengue IgM test OR<\/li>\n<li>And Dengue NS1 and an IgM antibody test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suburbandiagnostics.com\/test-menu\/mumbai\/malaria-detection-rt-pcr\"><strong>RT-PCR test<\/strong><\/a>Dengue virus RNA can be detected with NAAT in blood, serum, and plasma.
