Dengue viral infection by mosquitoes can vary from mild flu-like illness to life-threatening severe complications. It is estimated by the WHO that dengue infects up to 400 million individuals every year, with a major burden in South-East Asia.<\/p>\n<p>With increasing global temperatures, urban population density, and stagnated water sources, the population of mosquitoes that transmit dengue is flourishing. Under such circumstances, early identification and correct diagnosis become not merely significant \u2014 but life-saving.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes of each trustworthy test stands the innovation and dedication of diagnostic producers such as Astam Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd., who provide best quality diagnostic kits that enable labs and healthcare professionals to diagnose dengue in time and with accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Dengue?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Dengue is caused by the dengue virus, transmitted mainly through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Four viruses are known 1-4, and one can be infected with each serotype only once, possibly four times in lifetime.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Common Symptoms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Infection usually starts 4-10 days following the mosquito bite. Common symptoms are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sudden high fever (up to 104\u00b0F \/ 40\u00b0C)<\/li>\n<li>Severe headache, particularly behind the eyes<\/li>\n<li>Muscle and joint pain<\/li>\n<li>Skin rash which are visible in 3\u20134 days<\/li>\n<li>Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite<\/li>\n<li>Mild bleeding (gums, nosebleeds, or easy bruising)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Severe Dengue (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Unless treated promptly, infection can escalate into severe dengue, characterized by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Persistent pain in the stomach<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting or stool containing blood<\/li>\n<li>Rapid breathing<\/li>\n<li>Weakening, restlessness, or confusion<\/li>\n<li>Acute reduction in platelet count<\/li>\n<li>Circulatory failure and organ injury (in a few cases)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Diagnosis of Dengue: Why Early Diagnosis is Important<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Early and accurate diagnosis permits proper management of symptoms, admit to a hospital if necessary, and close watch on blood parameters.
