    Dengue is an infectious viral disease spread through mosquito bites. It is common in tropical and sub-tropical areas and outbreaks often coincide with rainy seasons. The virus is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which lives in urban areas near stagnant water. Symptoms range from fever, headache, rash and joint pain to severe bleeding and shock. Diagnosis involves blood tests to check platelet count and hematocrit levels. Treatment focuses on fever relief, intravenous fluids and blood transfusions for more severe cases.

    than 20 petechiae per square inch (a petechiae is a
    small red or purple spot on the body, caused by a
    minor haemorrhage).
