Two dangerous complications of dengue. #dengue #dengueprevention #dengueawareness #denguevirus

Dengue, caused by the dengue virus transmitted through infected Aedes mosquitoes, can lead to severe complications and, in some cases, death. The virus causes dengue fever, which can progress to severe dengue, also known as dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. In severe cases, dengue can lead to plasma leakage, severe bleeding, organ damage, and a rapid drop in blood platelet count. Plasma leakage can cause shock, organ failure, and even death due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Without prompt medical intervention and supportive care, severe dengue can be fatal. Early detection, medical monitoring, and appropriate medical care significantly improve the chances of survival for individuals with severe dengue infections. Preventing mosquito bites and controlling mosquito breeding sites are crucial in reducing the risk of dengue infection.
