THE ILLNESS

Of viral origin, dengue is caused by four very similar viruses and is transmitted to humans by mosquito bites that bite an infected person. There is no direct contagion between humans, even if humans are the main host of the virus. The virus circulates in the blood of the infected person for 2 days to a week, and during this time the mosquito can pick it up and transmit it to others. The disease gives rise to fever within 5-6 days of the bite, even with very high temperatures. Fever is accompanied by sharp headaches, pain around and behind the eyes, severe muscle and joint pain, nausea and vomiting, skin irritations that may appear over most of the body 3-4 days after the onset of fever. Typical symptoms are often absent in children.
