Frequently asked questions
Most people with dengue experience mild to no symptoms and recover in a week or two. In rare cases, it becomes fatal. Symptoms, if present, usually begin 4-10 days after infection and last 2-7 days.
The dengue virus directly impacts the bone marrow where platelets are produced. This leads to a sudden drop in the platelet count, a condition known as thrombocytopenia.
Dengue is a widespread disease, affecting regions worldwide, including the Americas, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Pacific Islands.
