Introduction
Dengue also known as break bone fever is a mosquito to borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. It is an infectious disease caused viruses which are transmitted to humans by biting of a specific mosquito called Aedes Aegypti. Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications. As of now the Dengue does not have any vaccine but it can prevent by reducing the habitat and the number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites. (Anonymous, n.d)
The treatment of dengue to those affected patient is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health (DOH). By these two organization the curing of dengue was been developed. (Anonymous, n.d)
The Dengue fever can be risk and turn into dengue Hemorrhagic fever that consist of (3) three stages after it will turn into the last reaction of Dengue, the dengue shock Syndrome in this stage the disease cannot be cure. This disease can get anywhere and anytime if you do not have a right management. (Anonymous, n.d)
In the Philippine Setting, dengue is reported as a leading cause of childhood hospitalization. So that the importance of early vaccination for young children in endemic regions when a vaccination become available. Epidemics of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever occur every 3-4 years in the Philippines and together with other febrile illnesses in children they impose a considerable burden on the national health care system. (Capeding, 2012)
The risk of dengue is not only in the Philippines it is also worldwide. In fact, the dengue was not stated in the Philippines it was reported in the French West Indies and panama.

Yellow fever is only found in parts of South America and Africa with two different sequences of illness. Yellow fever has been the key to several upsetting outbreaks. The symptoms to this virus contain many unusual and unpleasant results; fortunately a prevention was developed that would give a ten year immunity from the disease. Some people’s first thought of yellow fever is where it’s origin to this virus.…

    Not a Laughing Matter: “Effects of Tawa-tawa(Euphorbia Hirta) to the Platelet Count of Dengue Patients”

    Treatment of acute dengue is supportive, using either oral or intravenous rehydration for mild or moderate disease, and intravenous fluids and blood transfusion for more severe cases. The incidence of dengue fever has increased dramatically since the 1960s, with around 50–100 million people infected yearly. Early descriptions of the condition date from 1779, and its viral cause and the transmission were elucidated in the early 20th century. Dengue has become a global problem since the Second World War and is endemic in more than 110 countries. Apart from eliminating the mosquitoes, work is ongoing on a vaccine, as well as medication targeted directly at the virus.…

    understand and prevent dengue

    Dengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity (the co circulation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions. In 1998 this mosquito-borne disease is the most important tropical infectious disease after malaria, with an estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever, 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever, and 25,000 deaths annually. The reasons for this resurgence and emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in the waning years of the 20th century are complex and not fully understood, but demographic, societal, and public health infrastructure changes in the past 30 years have contributed greatly. This paper reviews the changing epidemiology of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever by geographic region, the natural history and transmission cycles, clinical diagnosis of both dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, serologic and virologic laboratory diagnoses, pathogenesis, surveillance, prevention, and control. A major challenge for public health officials in all tropical areas of the world is to develop and implement sustainable prevention and control programs that will reverse the trend of emergent dengue hemorrhagic fever.…
