	Dengue Fever
		Dengue fever is a disease caused by a virus spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, uncommon in Wisconsin.
		Dengue fever is characterized by the rapid development of a fever that may last from three to seven days, intense headache, joint and muscle pain, loss of appetite, diarrhea and a rash.
		Since cases of dengue fever appearing in Wisconsin are imported, control measures are limited to advising travelers to affected areas of the risk of exposure to infected mosquitoes.

	Dengue Fever
		The risk for being bitten by a mosquito that is carrying dengue fever is higher in Africa, Southeast Asia and China, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, South and Central America, the Caribbean Islands, Australia, and the South and Central Pacific.
		Dengue fever is considered "endemic" to certain regions, which means it is native to, or naturally occurring, in these areas.
		Dengue fever is more likely to occur during or shortly after the rainy season, when the mosquito population is larger.

	Dengue Fever
		Future dengue incidence in specific locales cannot be predicted accurately, but a high level of dengue transmission is anticipated in all tropical areas of the world for the indefinite future.
		Dengue fever is characterized by sudden onset after an incubation period of 3-14 days (most commonly 4-7 days), high fever, severe frontal headache, and joint and muscle pain.
		Dengue should be considered by physicians in the differential diagnosis of all patients who have fever and a history of travel to a tropical area within 3 weeks of onset of symptoms.

		Dengue virus, first isolated in 1943, is morphologically indistinguishable from the agent causing yellow fever.
		Dengue fever is usually mild and nonspecific in most children, associated with pharyngitis, rhinitis, mild cough, and fever for several days to a week.
		Classic dengue fever, most likely to occur in older children and adults, is a febrile viral syndrome of sudden onset, characterized by fever for 2-5 days (often biphasic and rarely lasting more than 7 days), severe headache, intense myalgias, arthralgias, retro-orbital pain, anorexia, and rash.

		Dengue fever is a viral infection that typically causes flu-like symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, joint pains, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, often followed by a rash.
		However, dengue sometimes causes excessive bleeding (dengue hemorrhagic fever) or a dangerous fall in blood pressure (dengue shock syndrome) that may be fatal.
		Dengue is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite preferentially during the daytime, especially in the morning and late afternoon (in contrast to Anopheles mosquitoes, the vectors of malaria, which are most active after sundown).

		Dengue fever is a febrile illness caused by an RNA flavivirus that is spread by the bites of mosquitoes.
		Whereas dengue fever is rarely fatal, dengue hemorraghic fever is a severe disease that leads to death in approximately 5% of cases.
		This explanation is supported by the observations that dengue hemorraghic fever is most common in individuals who previously had dengue fever, and that dengue hemorraghic fever is much more common in residents of endemic areas than in visitors to endemic areas.

	Dengue Fever Fact Sheet - CDC Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases (DVBID)
		DF and DHF are primarily diseases of tropical and sub tropical areas, and the four different dengue serotypes are maintained in a cycle that involves humans and the Aedes mosquito.
		In 2005, dengue is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease affecting humans; its global distribution is comparable to that of malaria, and an estimated 2.5 billion people live in areas at risk for epidemic transmission (Figure 4).
		This approach has been particularly detrimental to dengue control because, in most countries, surveillance is (just as in the U.S.) passive; the system to detect increased transmission normally relies on reports by local physicians who often do not consider dengue in their differential diagnoses.

		Dengue fever (IPA: ['deŋgeɪ]) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are acute febrile diseases, found in the tropics, with a geographical spread similar to malaria.
		Epidemic dengue has become more common since the 1980s - by the late 1990s, dengue was the most important mosquito-borne disease affecting humans after malaria, there being around 40 million cases of dengue fever and several hundred thousand cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever each year.
		It is believed that the reported cases of dengue are an underrepresentation of all the cases of dengue as it would ignore subclinical cases and cases where the patient did not present for medical treatment.
