    Dengue fever is a disease spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito that became a worldwide problem in the 1950s. It causes a sudden high fever, flat rash, and flu-like symptoms. The more severe form is dengue hemorrhagic fever, which can cause death through dysfunction of the endothelium and disordered blood clotting, often occurring during a second infection by a different serotype of the dengue virus. Prevention focuses on using insect repellent and reducing mosquito bites, while treatment involves fever reduction and hydration.
