Dengue virus is an arthropod-borne virus, transmitted by Aedes aegypti among humans. In this review, we discussed the epidemiology of
dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) as well as the disease's natural history, cycles of transmission, clinical diagnosis, aetiology, prevention,
therapy, and management. A systematic literature search was done by databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar using search terms, '
dengue fever', 'symptoms and causes of
dengue fever', 'dengue virus transmission', and 'strategies to control
dengue'. We reviewed relevant literature to identify hazards related to DHF and the most recent recommendations for its management and prevention. Clinical signs and symptoms of
dengue infection range from mild
dengue fever (DF) to potentially lethal conditions like DHF or
dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Acute-onset high
fever, muscle and
joint pain,
myalgia, a
rash on the skin, hemorrhagic episodes, and circulatory
shock are among the most common symptoms. An early diagnosis is vital to lower mortality. As dengue virus
infections are self-limiting, but in tropical and subtropical areas,
dengue infection has become a public health concern. Hence, developing and executing long-term control policies that can reduce the global burden of DHF is a major issue for public health specialists everywhere.
