I want to share about one of the articles that I had read in the newspaper. This article written by Malaysia Pediatric Association.

Dengue fever is a fever that is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, the vector that transmits the dengue virus.
Dengue is spread from one person to another through the bite of this mosquito which occurs in the day time. Dengue fever often occurs in areas where the virus is prevalent and the mosquitoes breed.

The fever usually lasts three to seven days and in the course of it, red rashes may appear. Dengue fever is dangerous because the patient can bleed and become weak very quickly.

Refer to a doctor immediately when fever is prolonged, appearance of red rashes around the face and body or dengue cases have been reported in your residential area.
Mosquito fever is a critical disease if we do not take it as a serious matter.
