B.Summary
-Dengue is fast emerging pandemic -prove viral disease in
many parts of the world. Dengue flourishes in urban poor
areas,suburbs and the country side but also affects more
affluent neighborhoods in tropical and subtropicals
countries.
-It is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing a severe flu-
like illnesses and,sometimes causing potentially lethal
complication called severe dengue.
-Once infected,humans become the main carries and
multiplier of the virus,serving as a sources of the virus for
uninfected mosquito's.
*The virus arculates in the blood of an infected person for
2-7days,at approximately the same time that the person
develops a fever.
*Patients who are already infected with the dengue virus
can transmot the infections via Aedes mosquito's after the
first symptoms appear(during 4-5 days;maximum 12)
-In Humans recovery from infection by one dengue virus
provides life long immunity against that particular virus
serotype.However,this immunity confers only partial and
transient protection against subsequent infection by other
three serotypes of the virus.
Evidence points to the fact that sequential infections
increases the risk of developing severe dengue. The time
intervals between infections and the particular viral
sequence of infections may also be importance.
