As the northern region of Vietnam enters its transitional season with high humidity and frequent rain, conditions are ripe for the spread of dengue fever. Dengue fever has different stages, and each stage has its own risk and symptoms.

Dengue fever can lead to severe complications, including a reduction in platelets. Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) in dengue fever is an immune-related condition. Antibodies attack the platelets, causing their destruction in the spleen, resulting in a decreased platelet count. This makes the body more prone to bleeding, even with minor injuries.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute infectious disease caused by a virus. It can occur year-round and most prevalently during the rainy season when mosquitoes thrive and transmit the disease. This fever can affect people of all ages and typically manifests in three phases.

Many dengue fever patients develop an itchy rash, especially on the palms and soles, during the recovery phase after the fever subsides. So when does the itch caused by dengue fever commonly occur and how can relieve it?

Nosebleeds are one of the dangerous complications of dengue fever, especially dengue fever caused by the Dengue virus. If not diagnosed early and treated promptly, dengue fever can lead to death.

Dengue fever is a viral infectious disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It is widely known as 'breakbone fever' because one of its symptoms is severe pain in the bones and joints, which worsens the condition.

Dengue fever and viral fever are currently in peak season. So, when you have a fever, how can you distinguish between a common fever, viral fever, or dengue fever? How should dengue fever be treated?

Diagnostic tests for dengue fever help determine the presence of the virus in the blood. The tests commonly used to diagnose dengue fever are NS1, IgM antibody, and IgG antibody.

Dengue fever is primarily characterized by fever and bleeding. Bleeding manifestations in dengue can include nosebleeds, bleeding gums, subcutaneous bruising, gastrointestinal bleeding, vaginal bleeding. In severe cases, it can cause red blood cell rupture, vascular leakage, blood concentration, and massive internal and external bleeding, which can be fatal.
