 Definition

DHF or dengue hemorrhagic fever is a

disease caused by one of the four dengue
viruses..
Dengue fever is a contagious disease.
The means of transmitting dengue
fever comes from the bites of Aedes
aegypti and Aedes albocpictus
mosquitoes
 Dengue Fever Risk Factors

Several risk factors for dengue fever,

Dengue Fever Risk Factors
Dengue fever can be
triggered by certain risk
factors.
namely:
1. Have had a previous dengue virus
infection
2. Living or traveling to the tropics
3. Infants, children, the elderly, and
people with weakened immunity.
 Causes of Dengue Fever Dengue fever is caused
by the dengue virus which is transmitted by
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
Causes of Dengue Fever Both mosquitoes can bite in the morning to late
evening.

Transmission occurs when a mosquito bites

and sucks the blood of someone who is
infected with the dengue virus, when the
mosquito bites another person, the virus will
spread. This happens because mosquitoes act
as carriers for the dengue virus
Symptoms of Dengue Fever
Symptoms generally appear
1. 4-7 days from the mosquito
bite, and can last for 10 days.
Some of the symptoms of dengue
fever, namely:
2. High fever reaches 40 degrees
Celsius;
3. Severe headache Pain in joints,
muscles, and bones; 4. Pain in the
back of the eye;
5. Decreased appetite
6. Nausea and vomiting
Diagnosis of Dengue Fever

Diagnosis of dengue fever will be carried

out by conducting a physical examination
and medical interview. Apart from that,
supporting examinations, such as blood
tests in the laboratory, must also be done.
We recommend that, after feeling the
symptoms of dengue fever, immediately
consult a doctor or visit the nearest
hospital immediately, so that a diagnosis
can be made immediately.
 Complications of Dengue Fever

When dengue fever is too late to treat, complications will occur. Complications of
dengue shock syndrome (DSS) have several symptoms and signs, namely:

- Signs of bleeding, such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, bleeding under the skin,
black vomiting, coughing up blood, or having a stool with blackish stools;
- Blood pressure decreases;
- The skin is wet and feels cold;
- The pulse is weakened;
- The frequency of urination decreases and the amount of urine that comes out
is small;
- dry mouth; and
- Shortness of breath or irregular breathing patterns.

Proper and fast handling must be done. If treatment is not done immediately, it
can result in malfunctioning of the body's organs which can lead to death.
 Dengue Fever Treatment
There are currently no specific medications to treat dengue fever.
Treatment aims to relieve symptoms and prevent the viral infection
from getting worse.
Some of the efforts recommended by the doctor, namely:
- Drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration;
- Get enough rest;
- Consumption of fever-reducing drugs that are relatively safe and
recommended by a doctor;
- Avoiding the consumption of pain relievers. This is because these
drugs can cause bleeding complications;
- Monitor the frequency of urination and the amount of urine that
comes out.
 Dengue Fever Prevention
There are various efforts that can be made to prevent dengue fever, namely:
- Children aged 9-16 years should be vaccinated against dengue 3 times, 6 months apart;
- Eradicating mosquito nests carried out in two times of insecticide fumigation or fogging
with an interval of 1 week;
- Drain water reservoirs, such as bathtubs, at least weekly;
- Close tightly the water reservoir;- Recycling items that have the potential to become a
breeding ground for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes;
- Set sufficient light in the house;
- Installing mosquito repellent wire in the ventilation of the house;
- Sprinkling larvicide powder (abate) on water reservoirs that are difficult to drain;-
- Using a mosquito net while sleeping;
- Planting mosquito repellent plants;
- giving up the habit of hanging clothes;
- Avoid areas prone to infection;
- Wearing loose clothes; and
- Use a mosquito repellent cream containing N-diethylmetatoluamide (DEET), but do not
use DEET on children under 2 years.
