arbovirus disease caused by any one of four closely related viruses that do not provide cross-protective immunity; a person can be infected as many as four times‚ once with each serotype. Dengue viruses are transmitted from person to person by the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the domestic environment. Periodic epidemics have occurred in the Western Hemisphere for over 200 years.

XI. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Medical Diagnosis T/C Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever/ Pleural Effusion‚ T/C Liver Pathology Definition Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever - is a severe‚ potentially deadly infection spread by certain species of mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti). Pleural Effusion - is excess fluid that accumulates in the pleural cavity‚ the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs. Excessive amounts of such fluid can impair breathing by limiting the expansion of the lungs during inhalation. Liver

hemorrhagic fever‚ resulting in bleeding‚ low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage‚ or into dengue shock syndrome‚ where dangerously low blood pressure occurs. Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquitowithin the genus Aedes‚ principally A. aegypti. The virus has four different types; infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type‚ but only short-term immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications
