Symptoms of dengue fever
Thursday, January 17, 2008

I feel obliged to write this post since not many people realize how dangerous dengue fever is. I've lost a good friend to it. So, I wish that people would read this up and educate yourself and other people around you about the symptoms of dengue fever.

  • High fever - up to 45 degrees Celsius
  • Severe headache
  • Retro-orbital pain - pain behind the eye
  • Severe joint pains
  • Muscle pains
  • Muscle aches
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • General weakness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Rash
  • Children get non-typical symptoms
  • Fever
  • Weakness
  • Prostration - extreme exhaustion and fatigue
  • Severe headache
  • Severe muscle pain
  • Slowed heart rate
  • Enlarge lymph nodes
  • Maculopapular rash - a rash that occurs on the skin that appears reddish with macula and papules

So if you see people around you with those symptoms, please, by all means, bring him/her to the hospital and get their blood checked as soon as possible. Don't regret it later

That's all folks!
