Dengue is viral infection transmitted by bite of mosquito aedes aegypti. This mosquito usually bites in day time. In dengue fever platelet count decreases which can cause bleeding in skin and internal organs of human body. When platelet count decreases below 20000 it can causes severe internal bleeding in body. Aspirin should not be given for dengue fever because it can decrease platelet count. Treatment is symptomatic. There is no specific treatment. Water should not be allowed to accumulate in houses like in empty drums or cooler because mosquito can breed in stagnant water. Use all measures to avoid mosquito bites.
