Usually, multiple organs are affected due to dengue fever. However, the liver is the most affected during dengue infection.
Yes, if the dengue infection gets severe then one needs to get hospitalised to recover from shock and internal bleeding.
Yes, however it is not recommended.
A hematocrit level increase greater than 20% is a sign of hemoconcentration and precedes shock. The hematocrit level should be monitored at least every 24 hours to facilitate early recognition of dengue hemorrhagic fever and every 3-4 hours in severe cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.
Weakness and pain in the joints which goes away with time and rest.
The average time period of the treatment of dengue is between 4 weeks to 6 weeks.
Dengue fever is an illness you can get from the bite of a mosquito carrying one of four types of dengue virus
It takes 2 weeks to 6 weeks to cure dengue.
One should try applying pain relief creams, taking adequate rest and doing mild movements to get relief from mild joint pains during dengue or chikunguniya.
Yes, if the infection gets severe then dengue will be life threatening.
Yes, it is curable however, it is more severe.
Yes, the liver may get damaged if care is not taken especially when having severe dengue.
The only way to know that dengue has been cured is via blood tests. However, frequent thirst and urination are a few signs that your dengue is getting cured.
A high fever of up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit is one of the first symptoms of dengue in children along with rashes in few cases.
One has high fever along with frequent headaches and pain behind the eyes.
High fever and body pain along with pain behind the eyes.
Research is suggestive that it typically stays 12-14 days in the body.
It takes 2 weeks to 6 weeks to recover from dengue.
When you have dengue or any other disease, your body makes more white blood cells to fight the bacteria, viruses, or other foreign substances causing your illness. This increases your white blood count.
Most people with dengue have mild or no symptoms and will get better in 1-2 weeks. Rarely, dengue can be severe and lead to death. If symptoms occur, they usually begin 4-10 days after infection and last for 2-7 days.
DENV 2 variant is like any other dengue variant however, it is prone to more internal bleeding and shocks.
The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human venous whole blood.
Research is suggestive that people who get dengue the second time usually experience more severe dengue symptoms than people who get it the first time.
For patients presenting during the first week after fever onset, diagnostic testing should include a test for dengue virus (rRT-PCR or NS1) and IgM. For patients presenting more than a week after fever onset, IgM detection is most useful, although NS1 has been reported positive up to 12 days after fever onset
It is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent weeks. If the IgG is positive but the IgM is low or negative, then it is likely that the person had an infection sometime in the past.
Patients with a positive IgM test result are classified as presumptive, recent dengue virus infections.
No fasting is required.
Currently, there are no specific treatments for dengue. However, supportive treatment for dengue is the best way to recover from internal bleeding and shock. Remember to take plenty of fluids and refrain from taking aspirin to avoid internal bleeding.
The NS1 diagnostic is highly effective in detecting dengue as early as possible.
NS1 tests have been developed for use in serum. Most of these tests use synthetically labeled antibodies to detect dengue NS1 protein.
This test is used for detecting non structural protein NS1 of dengue virus.
