Overview:

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness caused by a virus known as DENV-1. This virus is spread by female Anopheles mosquito. The virus gets transmitted into the body by a bite; generally, it takes 3 to 10 days for a symptom to occur. Dengue fever is not life-threatening if treated in its early stages, but can be harmful and can even lead to death if not diagnosed and treated correctly.

If the platelets count drops drastically, this may lead to severe dengue, also known as dengue hemorrhagic fever. A vaccine for dengue has been approved by WHO in 2018 but is yet to be available for several countries. Apart from these vaccines, there are some natural home remedies to cure dengue fever.
