This document discusses dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease. It is caused by four distinct virus serotypes (DEN 1-4) and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, rash, and mild bleeding. Prevention focuses on eliminating standing water where mosquitos can breed. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, ranging from oral rehydration for non-severe cases to intensive care for severe cases involving organ impairment or hemorrhaging.
