SOLAR FEVER

A tropical malady caused by dengue virus (Arbovirus), that is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito of the genus Aedes). Four severity grades of the diseases are seen: grade I (fever and constitutional symptoms), grade II (grade I plus spontaneous bleeding of skin, gums or gastrointestinal tract), grade III (grade II plus agitation and circulatory failure) and grade IV (profound shock). Grade I infection is seen most frequently in world travelers, where it is generally self-limited and rarely fatal. The another grades are referred to as dengue haemorrhagic fever and are often fatal. Dengue haemorrhagic fever appears to be an infection by one of the another dengue viruses. Prior immunity to a various dengue virus type appears to be significant in the development of the more serious haemorrhagic form. Vaccines are accessible. Protection from mosquitoes is an significant preventive measure.
