"An outbreak of dengue fever in Hawaii today is the largest in the last 60 years," stated Dr. Harold Margolis, Chief of Dengue in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Department of Health Hawaii. Outbreaks of dengue fever (DBD) previously severely hit Hawaii in 2001 and 2011.
Americans are very concerned about this large outbreak. They immediately did anticipate that the dengue fever outbreak did not extend into the heart of the US Capital. Besides in Hawaii, outbreaks caused by the dengue virus carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito is also never hit the Florida Keys in the years 2009-2011 and Brownsville, Texas, in 2005.
That fact makes, Amesh Adalja a senior at the Center for Health Insurance at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, America said that, America should be concerned with dengue fever. With the rapid response, outbreaks of dengue fever soon be resolved.
Fever is based is widespread in the US until the mid 20th century. Although the effort to control mosquitoes done again in parts of the US, dengue fever is never eliminated from Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands or the Texas-Mexico border. Unique indeed, whereas in other countries are not this bad. But in reality only in Hawaii that most victims of bloody fever.
Symptoms of the disease. The main symptoms of dengue are high fever, severe headache, severe pain behind the eyes, joint pain, muscle and bone pain, rash, and mild bleeding (eg, nose or bleeding gums, easy bruising). Generally, children and young people with their first dengue infection have a milder illness than children who are older and adults.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is characterized by fever that lasts from 2 to 7 days, with general signs and symptoms consistent with dengue fever. When a decline in fever, symptoms include persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, and difficulty breathing, may develop. This marked the beginning of 24 to 48 hours when the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) become more permeable ("leaky"), allowing the fluid component to leak from the blood vessels into the peritoneum (causing ascites) and pleural cavity (causing pleural effusion).
This can lead to failure of the circulatory system and shock, followed by death, if circulatory failure is not corrected. In addition, patients with DHF has a low platelet count and bleeding manifestations, tendency to easy bruising or bleeding skin types, bleeding nose or gums, and possibly internal bleeding. You should be aware of the symptoms of this disease, because otherwise it could be dangerous.
Treatment for dengue fever. There is no specific treatment for dengue infection treatment. People who think they have dengue should use analgesics (pain relievers) with acetaminophen and avoid medications that contain aspirin or ibuprofen. This is an argument which is less precise.
They should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and consult a physician. If they feel worse (eg, symptoms of vomiting and severe abdominal pain) in the first 24 hours after the decline of fever, they should immediately go to the hospital for evaluation. Do not be late because it can cause death.
Effective treatment for dengue fever. Such as dengue fever, there is no specific treatment for dengue. But can be effectively treated with fluid replacement therapy if the initial clinical diagnosis known. DBD management often requires hospitalization. Outbreaks of dengue fever. Outbreaks of dengue fever, occurs mainly in areas where Ae. aegypti (sometimes also Ae. albopictus) life. This includes most tropical urban areas of the world. Dengue virus can be introduced to the area by tourists who are infected while visiting other areas in the tropics where dengue fever is usually present. And Hawaii are the best example for all of us who are still healthy.
