Learn more about dengue

Dengue fever, also known as “breakbone fever,” is known for common symptoms such
as fever, aches (around the eyes or joints), nausea, and more. But did you know that
dengue may also develop into serious conditions that may require hospitalisation?

Human blood is a mixture of components. It carries specialised cells that serve different
functions – such as transporting oxygen, fighting infections, and more.

Dengue rashes may appear on your skin as red spots during a dengue fever infection. It often starts on the arms and legs and may spread to other parts of the body.

Unlike other infectious diseases, dengue virus is not transmitted through casual contact like coughing or sneezing. Dengue spreads through the bite of a female Aedes mosquito from one person to the next.
