- Dengue is a major mosquito-borne disease caused by a single-stranded RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family, with four serotypes (DEN 1-4) affecting millions globally.
- Around 100 million cases of dengue fever and 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) occur each year, with 2.5 billion people at risk and the disease being endemic in 112 countries.
- Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to reduce serious complications and fatalities, as evidenced by a case involving a patient with dengue fever who tragically suffered a fatal intracranial hemorrhage.
