What you say is true. Prevention is mainly concerned with eliminating mosquitoes and mosquito bites. There is hope for a vaccine in a few years time. The link gives much information. The attachment is an excerpt from the link. http://www.medicinen...ver/article.htm

This is a nasty virus, spread by mosquitoes as Tony McC mentioned. However, I have realised that there are two versions of Dengue. One is milder but not fatal, whilst the other, Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, is more dangerous as the name suggests.

Dengue Fever

Dengue Fever

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever

The only treatment I could find was for people to keep hydrated during Dengue Fever but for medical intervention to transfuse blood during blood loss in Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever.

I'm not ignoring you Akbar - I just don't know. I do know that there are much fewer medicines for viral illness than for bacterial illness. The link will give you more information. The attachment is taken from the link. http://en.wikipedia..../Antiviral_drug

Tinospora codifolia a Ayurvedic drug has been proved to be very useful.The best treatment is to anyhow keep the production of platelets high and tinospora does the same.Another best method will be controlling the mosquitoes because if we can take control of the intermediate host we can make the parasite to evolve towards mildness and less virulent strain.

Do you actually have any real evidence for that?

[panstein]

Reverse Pharmacology is a growing field in India where we are trying to elucidate and document robust pharmacological effects of ancient herbs.Tinospora is very widely used in India for the treatment of Dengue specifically by Patanjali Yogpeeth.You can see the following link for the confirmation in animals : http://scialert.net/....659.663&org=11

The doctors usually told the dengue patients that dont take aspirin.whts the reason

[panstein]

@Akbar Safi : People with dengue generally have very low platelet counts and they often die of hemorrhagic fever.Aspirin has anti-platelet activity and thus giving anti- platelet treatment to a dengue patient may be really fatal.

What is the difference between malaria and dengue disease carriers(mosquitoes)?why carriers cannot get the disease by itself?
