A92: Other mosquito-borne viral fevers

Other mosquito-borne viral fevers are a group of diseases transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. These include conditions such as West Nile fever, Chikungunya, and Zika, among others. The onset of disease manifests as flu-like symptoms, usually within a few days to a week after being bitten. Common symptoms typically include fever, chills, body aches, and often a rash. As the disease progresses, it may cause complications such as encephalitis or meningitis, mostly in people with weak immune systems. In severe cases, the virus may also affect various body systems including the nervous system, blood vessels, heart and other organs, depending on the specific virus involved. The severity and outcome of these fevers can vary significantly, ranging from mild illnesses to severe and potentially fatal conditions.
