Dengue

Dengue fever is a viral illness caused by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, commonly known as the “day-biting mosquito.” It is a significant health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. At AMVI Clinic, we prioritize early diagnosis and effective management of dengue to ensure a swift recovery and prevent complications.

Signs and Symptoms of Dengue

Dengue symptoms typically appear 4–10 days after a mosquito bite and can range from mild to severe.

Common Symptoms:

• High fever (104°F or higher).
• Severe headaches.
• Pain behind the eyes.
• Muscle, joint, or bone pain (often called “breakbone fever”).
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Skin rashes.

Severe Symptoms (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever):

• Abdominal pain.
• Persistent vomiting.
• Bleeding gums or nose.
• Blood in stool or urine.
• Difficulty breathing.

How is Dengue Diagnosed?

At AMVI Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic methods to identify dengue early:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): To monitor platelet levels and white blood cells.
• Dengue NS1 Antigen Test: Detects the virus in the early stages.
• IgM and IgG Antibodies Test: Confirms dengue infection and its progression.
