Dengue fever is a viral disease characterized by sudden onset of fever over 38°C lasting 5 or more days along with muscle or joint pains, petechiae on the arms, body, feet and legs, a positive tourniquet test and/or low platelet count under 100,000/cu.mm. The most important way to prevent and control dengue fever is to eliminate breeding sites of the Aedes mosquito by maintaining clean surroundings and discarding containers that collect standing water. Fumigation and larvicides may be needed to reduce mosquito density. Continuing health education on prevention, control and management of dengue fever is also important.

Pneumonia in children
- Pneumonia is a major cause of death in children under 5 years old worldwide, though mortality has decreased with interventions.
- It is usually caused by viruses in young children and bacteria in older children, though over 50% of cases the pathogen is not identified.
- Clinical features include fever, cough, rapid breathing and in severe cases cyanosis and respiratory fatigue. Diagnosis is usually by chest x-ray but cannot differentiate between bacterial and viral pneumonia.
- Treatment involves antibiotics, oxygen and supportive care. The choice of antibiotic depends on the child's age and illness severity. Most children can be managed at home but some require hospital admission.
Enteric fever (typhoid fever)
Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacteria which is typically spread through contaminated food or water. It causes a systemic infection and symptoms include a sustained fever along with abdominal pain. Without treatment, it can cause severe complications and even death. The disease is diagnosed through blood, stool, or urine cultures and treated with antibiotics like fluoroquinolones for at least two weeks. Prevention involves handwashing, drinking boiled water, and getting vaccinated which is especially important for those traveling to areas where typhoid is common.
Common Cold
Mr. Sniffle, a 35-year-old male, is experiencing symptoms of a common cold including congestion, cough, and achy feeling. The most likely diagnosis is the common cold. You advise Mr. Sniffle that antibiotics are not needed and the best treatment is rest, fluids, and potentially an intranasal decongestant. Cough suppressants and expectorants may help symptoms but there is limited evidence for their effectiveness. Kissing is unlikely to transmit the virus.
Dengue fever
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that occurs in tropical and subtropical areas, causing high fever, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, and a skin rash. It is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, which can acquire the dengue virus from infected humans and spread it to other people through bites. Common symptoms include high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands or rash. There is no vaccine to prevent dengue, so protection from mosquito bites is the only way to prevent infection. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, with hospitalization necessary in severe cases.
The Deadly Dengue!
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. It is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and is common in parts of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Symptoms include sudden high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, and skin rash. While there is no vaccine or specific treatment, most people recover after rest. Climate change is causing warmer temperatures that allow mosquitoes to thrive and transmit dengue more easily. Prevention efforts focus on eliminating mosquito breeding habitats and using protective measures like repellents, clothing, and screens.
Hec dengue fever
Dengue fever is a global problem affecting 500,000 people annually. During epidemics, infection rates can reach 80-90% among non-immune individuals. Without proper treatment, fatality rates from dengue hemorrhagic fever can exceed 20%, but are reduced to less than 1% with access to medical care. The disease is transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Controlling the mosquito vectors through insecticides and reducing breeding sites is important for prevention, as vaccines do not yet exist. National strategies include integrated vector control, active disease surveillance, emergency preparedness, capacity building, and research on vector biology and control methods.
Swine flu
Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus that can be transmitted between pigs and humans. It causes typical flu symptoms like fever, cough, and sore throat in humans and is usually treated with bed rest and drinking fluids, though it can sometimes lead to pneumonia or breathing problems. The document provides an overview of swine flu, how it is transmitted, its symptoms, and how it can be treated or cured.

Dengue fever - causes, symptoms, prevention, treatment options | Continent...
Dengue is a mosquito-borne illness that is common in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, with the common dengue causing fever and flu-like symptoms. However, a more severe form of dengue can result in hemorrhage, internal bleeding, and possible fatality.
All across the globe, there are millions of cases of dengue each year, with tropical regions of the Indian sub-continent, South East Asia, Africa, and parts of Latin America showing the highest incidence of the disease. WHO statistics indicate that the incidence of Dengue has gone up 10 times in the last 20 years, from less than half a million cases reported worldwide to over 5 million cases in 2019. And the same WHO report indicates that close to 3.9 billion people today remain in the risk of developing dengue – which is almost half the population of the world.
Thus, it is imperative to understand the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment modalities for dengue – which can help each one of us be better prepared to prevent the disease, or in the unfortunate event of acquiring the disease, be better equipped to treat it at an early stage.

Yaws
YAWS
Yaws is a chronic infection that affects mainly the skin, bone and cartilage.
The disease occurs mainly in poor communities in warm, humid, tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The causative organism is a bacterium called Treponema pertenue, a subspecies of Treponema pallidum that causes venereal syphilis. However, yaws is a non-venereal infection.
About 75% of people affected are children under 15 years of age (peak incidence occurs in children aged 6-10 years); males and females are affected and no race is exempt.
Yaws is transmitted mainly through direct skin contact with an infected person.
A single skin lesion develops at the point of entry of the bacterium after 2–4 weeks. Without treatment, multiple lesions appear all over the body.
Overcrowding, poor personal hygiene and poor sanitation facilitate the spread of the disease.
The disease is rarely fatal; however, it can lead to chronic disfigurement and disability. Yaws can be treated with a single dose of a cheap and effective antibiotic: Benzathine Penicillin injection cures the disease.

Yaws is a chronic bacterial infection that mainly affects the skin, bone, and cartilage. It occurs primarily in poor, tropical communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The causative bacterium is Treponema pertenue, which is transmitted through direct skin contact. Without treatment, the initial skin lesion can spread to multiple lesions over the body. Crowded living conditions and poor hygiene facilitate transmission. While rarely fatal, yaws can lead to disfigurement and disability if not treated with a single dose of benzathine penicillin injection.
TB control program
TB poses risks for workplaces through increased absenteeism and staff turnover. India faces a severe TB crisis with over a million missing cases annually. This document outlines a framework for controlling TB in the workplace. It proposes administrative, personal, and environmental controls like prioritizing patients with coughs over 2 weeks, promoting cough etiquettes, and improving ventilation. Recording suspected cases and designating roles for screening, treatment, and health education are emphasized. A DOT center at the workplace is recommended to efficiently diagnose and treat employees and prevent the spread of TB.
Dengue fever
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by any of four dengue viruses and transmitted through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It is a leading cause of illness and death in tropical and subtropical regions. Symptoms include high fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, nausea and vomiting. There is no vaccine or specific treatment, but maintaining proper fluid balance and rest is important. Prevention focuses on reducing mosquito habitats and using insect repellents and protective clothing when outdoors.
How is Dengue Fever Treated.pdf
Dengue fever is a viral illness. It’s transmitted by mosquitoes and usually lasts for 4 to 7 days. The symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, followed by rash that appears anywhere on the body.
In mild cases, patients may feel tired and have low energy but they can take care of themselves. In more severe cases, they may need to be hospitalized as they may develop dehydration if not enough fluids are given to them.
20180305 typhoid fever
Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It remains a major public health problem worldwide, especially in parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In India, typhoid is endemic and a study showed 1% of children under 17 get typhoid each year. S. typhi only infects humans. People with typhoid can spread the infection through their feces and urine until they are treated. Carriers also spread infection asymptomatically. Prevention strategies include immunization, water purification, improved sanitation, and identifying and treating carriers. Symptoms include sustained fever, abdominal pain, and constipation or diarrhea. Complications can be serious without treatment.
Communicable diseases
Tuberculosis is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and usually affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when infected people cough or sneeze. Symptoms include coughing for 3+ weeks, weight loss, coughing up blood or mucus, and night sweats. Treatment involves isolating infected patients and starting antibiotic therapy. Leprosy is caused by mycobacterium leprae and affects the skin and nerves, causing disfigurement. It spreads through prolonged contact with infected individuals and has a long incubation period. Malaria is transmitted through the bites of infected anopheles mosquitoes and causes cycles of chills, fever and sweating. Control methods for these diseases include treatment, isolation, vector control

Anti-Dengue Fever Activities
- 1. DENGUE FEVER Dengue Fever is a viral disease characterized by sudden onset of fever of 38 C and above, lasting for 5 days or more. This is accompanied by muscle or joint pains, appearance of petecchiae of the arms, body, feet and legs, positive tourniquet test and/or thrombocytopenia or low platelet count of less than 100,000/cu.mm. The most important way to prevent and control Dengue Fever is to eliminate favorable sites of the Aedes mosquitoes. This can be done by maintaining cleanliness of the surroundings and discarding containers that collect water suitable for breeding. Fumigation and/or use of larvicides may be necessary to reduce mosquito density in the community. Continuing health education on the prevention, control and management of Dengue Fever, is as important as the other activities.
