Dengue

Dengue fever is a disease transmitted by a mosquito bite. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with symptoms such as headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen glands and rashes. After days of continued raining in our area which submerged most of the metropolis and nearby provinces, my grandaughter is experiencing the symptoms of Dengue. Laboratory tests confirmed her sickness and needs hospital confinement. Thank God that she's already well and back to her normal activities. However neither vaccine nor drugs for preventing infection are available for dengue, we should just be really careful and maintains cleanliness.
