     Causative agent
     Dengue viruses
     Encompass 4 different serotypes
     Each can lead to dengue fever
    and severe dengue (also known
    as 'dengue haemorrhagic fever')
     Vectors
     Aedes aegypti
     Aedes albopictus
    Mode of Transmission

     Transmitted to humans through the bites of


    infective female Aedes mosquitoes
     When a patient suffering from dengue fever is
    bitten by a vector mosquito, the mosquito is
    infected and it may spread the disease by biting
    other people
     Cannot be spread directly from human to
    human
     In Hong Kong, dengue fever is mainly spread
    by Aedes albopictus
     Aedes aegypti has not been found in recent years
    Clinical Features

     such as skin bruises, nose or gum bleeding, and
    possibly internal bleeding
     In severe cases:
     circulatory failure, shock and death
    After Recovery

     Immunity is attained against


    that serotype from its
    subsequent infection

     No effective protection is
    conferred against subsequent
    infection by the other 3
    serotypes
    Management

     There is no specific medication for dengue fever and severe


    dengue

    Patients with dengue fever Patients with severe dengue

     Mostly self-limiting  Need to be treated promptly with


     Symptomatic treatment is given supportive management
