Carica Papaya Leaves as treatment for dengue fever
Chapter 1 – The Problem
Introduction
Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue becomes a major international public health concern. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban area. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there may be 50-100 million dengue infections globally every year, with two-fifths of the world population, or 2.5 billion people, at risk of this mosquito-borne infectious disease. Dengue fever is spread through the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito. The first symptom of the disease appears in 5-7 days after the mosquito bit a healthy person. It is possible to become infected by dengue multiple times because the virus has four different serotypes. The symptoms are high fever, rash, headache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting and eye pain. Dengue fever is usually a self-limited illness, and only supportive care is required. Carica papaya is a large, tree-like plant, with a single stem growing from 5 to 10 m (16 to 33 ft.) tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk. Carica papaya contains the enzyme papain, which is present in the fruits, stem and leaves.
Statement of the Problem
Is it possible that Carica papaya leaves can treat dengue fever?
Significance of the Study
Dengue fever is common for being a disease that can kill many people. When you have this papaya plant or your neighbor, you can do it as a juice. It is cheaper than buying medicines. 25 ml of aqueous of Carica papaya leaves was administered to patient infected with Dengue fever. Taking 2-3 times per day can help the patient to easily recover.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study talks about why Carica papaya leaves can treat dengue fever. Research studies like this shown taking 2-3 times per day consecutively can treat the person. This study can be worked either months or years.
