Hi, Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases, the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs. Malaria is an acute febrile illness. In a non-immune individual, symptoms appear 7 days or more (usually 10?15 days) after the infective mosquito bite. The first symptoms ? fever, headache, chills and vomiting ? may be mild and difficult to recognize as malaria.
