This video is about Dengue Fever Awareness for viewers who speak Urdu and Hindi. It aims to discuss what causes dengue fever, dengue signs and symptoms (dengue bukhar ki alamat), dengue fever diagnosis, dengue fever treatments, dengue prevention tips, and dengue fever vaccination.

Dengue fever is common in certain parts of the world including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. There is concern about rising dengue cases. According to the World Health Organisation the number of dengue cases have increased 8-fold in the last two decades. The dengue cases hike seen in recent years could partly be a reflection of better dengue fever awareness, diagnosis and reporting of dengue cases.

So what is dengue infection (dengue fever kya hai)? Dengue infection is caused by the dengue fever virus entering our body. This virus does not spread directly from person to person. It is transferred from an infected person to a healthy person by specific type of mosquito which is called Aedes aegypti.

Is there a dengue test? A dengue fever diagnosis can be made through a simple blood test.

Symptoms of dengue fever (dengue fever ki alamat) are usually mild. Dengue symptoms (dengue virus ki alamat) include fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, joint pain, nausea, a red rash, belly pain and loss of appetite. Symptoms of dengue (dengue ki alamat) tend to resolve in 5 to 8 days in most cases. However, a small proportion of people go on to develop severe dengue which can be life threatening.

Less than 5% of dengue patients develop severe dengue infection, including dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. In such severe cases the number of blood platelet cell drops which results in thinning of the blood and risk of severe bleeding. Furthermore, there is a risk of failure of multiple organs including the heart, kidneys, and lungs.
Severe dengue infection can be recognised early through multiple warning signs and symptoms (dengue ki alamat kya hai) which tend to develop 24 to 48 hours after the fever has settled. These include severe abdominal pain, bloating, repeated vomiting, bleeding from the mouth or nose, vomiting blood, blood in the stool, bleeding under the skin, fatigue, restlessness, confusion, shortness of breath, feeling cold, palpitations, drowsiness and reduced consciousness. It is very important to seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms are experienced as proper medical treatment and supervision can reduce the chances of death to less than 1%.

There are four different types of dengue virus and because of this dengue infection can happen more than once. People who have suffered had dengue fever infection in the past, if they are reinfected with dengue, there are higher chances of developing severe dengue symptoms, including dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome.

So what is the best treatment for dengue fever (dengue ka ilaj)? Unfortunately, there is no specific dengue fever medicine or dengue cure. Dengue fever treatment (dengue bukhar ka ilaj) involves the use of medications such to ease the dengue signs and symptoms, including the use of paracetamol for pain and fever. It is important to stay well hydrated by drinking good amounts of water, and to take plenty of rest to allow the body to recover. There are no dengue home remedies which are known to be effective. Similarly, there is no specific “dengue fever food” (dengue fever me kya khana chahiye). For those with severe infection dengue fever treatments involve hospital admission and supportive care to help manage the complications of dengue virus infection.

Awareness of dengue fever prevention is important particularly for traveling to areas where dengue is endemic. The only way to prevent infection by the dengue virus is to protect yourself from mosquitoes. Here are some dengue prevention tips:
• Use an insect repellent cream or spray on your body.
• Wear loose clothing that covers your arms and legs completely.
• Wear socks and shoes instead of slippers.
• Sleep under a mosquito net.
• Fit window screens that stop mosquitos from entering the house.
• People who live in an area where dengue is common, they should not allow rubbish or water to accumulate near their home because the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus tend to breed in these.

A vaccine against the dengue virus is available. The dengue fever vaccine is called "Dengvaxia". According to research, if this vaccine is given to people who have never been infected by dengue, but they then go on to develop dengue infection at some point after the dengue fever vaccination, then their chances of having severe dengue are increased. Therefore, the dengue vaccine is generally only given to those who have been affected by dengue fever in the past. The vaccine is more beneficial in such people and it reduces the chances of severe dengue and hospital admission.
