    Viral replication occurs after an Aedes egypti mosquito bites and infects a patient with dengue virus. The virus then spreads through the bloodstream. This activates the immune system, including basophils and mast cells that release histamine, causing blood vessels to swell and secrete fluid. Symptoms include fever, rashes, joint and muscle pain, headaches, and potentially dehydration if the fever is not managed.
