Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding from the nose or gums. In severe cases, dengue can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, characterized by bleeding, organ failure, and potentially fatal complications. Prevention focuses on mosquito control measures and avoiding mosquito bites in endemic areas.
