DENGUE AND ITS COMPONENTS
WHAT IS DENGUE?
Dengue disease originates when a virus from the "Flavivirus" family enters our body
through the bite of a mosquito. Likewise, this viral infection is mainly transmitted by
female mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti family. These types of mosquitoes are
characterized by having white bands or scale patterns on the legs and thorax.
The introduction of dengue in Peru in the 20th century is linked to the reintroduction of
Aedes aegypti. This vector, after its elimination in Peru in 1956, re-entered in 1984,
with the imminent entry of dengue.
TIPOS:
• Classic dengue:
It does not usually present many complications, since the organism tends to recover
completely with the appropriate care
Whose incubation period is between five and eight days. It is a serious manifestation
and can cause the death of the patient because tachycardia, bone pain, bleeding,
changes in blood pressure, circulatory failure or dehydration may appear.
DENGUE SYMPTOMS:
The mild symptoms of dengue can be confused with other illnesses that cause fever,
aches and pains, or a rash. The most common symptom of dengue is fever causes a
high fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) to any of the following
symptoms:Náuseas,
vomiting
Rash
Aches and pains (eye pain, usually behind the eyes, muscle pain, joint pain, or
bone pain)
Pain behind the eyes.
Inflamed glands
Most people recover in about a week. In some cases, the symptoms worsen and can
be fatal. This is called severe dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever, or dengue shock
syndrome.
While you are recovering from dengue, drink plenty of fluids. Call your doctor
right away if you have any of the following signs and symptoms of dehydration:
decreased urination
Little or no tears
dry mouth or lips
Lethargy or confusion
Cold or clammy extremities
Over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol and others) can help reduce muscle aches
and fever. But if you have dengue, you should avoid other over-the-counter pain
relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, and others), and naproxen sodium
(Aleve). These pain relievers can increase the risk of dengue bleeding.
The Aedes aegypti has different stages of development: eggs, larvae, pupae
(stages that take place in water) and adult mosquitoes (when they can fly).
They breed in shady and humid places. Dark spots ensure that the water in the
containers does not exceed certain temperatures that would be lethal to the eggs,
larvae, and pupae. When they are adults they require moisture to survive longer, so
tall grasses are an ideal environment that offers food and shelter for Aedes aegypti.
Any container capable of accumulating water can become a breeding ground, but
some can produce large numbers of mosquitoes. For example, car covers are
excellent places for the development of these insects, due to their shape (which
prevents spilling water), their material (insulation) and their dark color, which allows
them to maintain the right temperature.
But also other objects that are inside our houses can be breeding grounds, such as
vases, flower pots or pet drinking fountains. Therefore, this mosquito can also be
raised in an apartment.
It is important to note that this mosquito does not breed in puddles, ditches, lakes,
lagoons or rivers. In those places they can be breeding grounds for other species of
mosquitoes that do not transmit these diseases.
Since the presence of these mosquitoes is a condition for these diseases to
circulate, their presence or the increase in the number of mosquitoes increases the
risk of spreading them throughout the community.
