Dengue: Prevention, Early Warning & Patient Stories
Comments Off
Why Dengue Awareness Matters
Every year, Hyderabad experiences a spike in dengue cases during the monsoon season. With urban congestion, water stagnation, and changing climate patterns, vector-borne diseases like dengue are on the rise—impacting both children and adults alike.
Dengue is not just a fever; it can become a life-threatening condition if left untreated. The key lies in early diagnosis, adequate hydration, and expert-guided care, which is precisely what physicians like Dr. Dhanunjay CH and Dr. Sameera at Ramraj Hospitals specialize in delivering.
Understanding Dengue: The Basics
Dengue is caused by the dengue virus (DENV), which has four serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4). One person can be infected with each type in a lifetime. A second infection with a different serotype can be more dangerous and may lead to severe dengue.
Transmission
Spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
They bite mostly during early morning and late afternoon.
Breeding grounds: stagnant water in flowerpots, buckets, old tires, and drains.
Why It’s Dangerous
There’s no specific antiviral treatment for dengue.
Severe dengue can cause internal bleeding, shock, and even death if not managed promptly.
Recognizing Dengue Symptoms: Early Detection Saves Lives
Dr. Dhanunjay CH stresses that catching symptoms early and seeking medical attention before complications arise is the best approach to avoiding hospitalization.
Common Symptoms
Sudden high fever (104°F or more)
Intense headache and eye pain
Severe muscle and joint pain
Skin rash (often itchy and appears on the trunk)
Nausea, vomiting, and fatigue
Low white blood cell count
Severe Symptoms (Seek Emergency Care)
Bleeding from the nose or gums
Blood in vomit or stool
Severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting
Rapid breathing and restlessness
Fatigue or drowsiness
Prevention: Your First Line of Defense
Dr. Sameera emphasizes that community-wide and personal efforts are both necessary to stop dengue in its tracks.
Preventive Tips
Eliminate breeding sites: Empty and scrub flowerpots, birdbaths, and stored water containers.
Protect your body: Use repellents with DEET or citronella, wear long clothing, and use mosquito nets—especially for children and the elderly.
Maintain hygiene: Cover water tanks, fix leaky taps, and clean air coolers weekly.
Neighborhood action: Report mosquito hotspots to municipal authorities for fumigation.
