A97.0: Dengue without warning signs
Dengue without warning signs, often simply referred to as dengue, is a viral infection transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Individuals affected by this condition may experience a variety of symptoms which typically commence 4-7 days after the mosquito bite. These may include a high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, rash, nausea, and vomiting. It's essential to note that not every infected individual will display symptoms, and some may only experience mild symptoms that could be mistaken for the flu or other viral infections. While the condition is usually self-limiting and most individuals recover with sufficient rest and hydration, the descent of a small proportion into severe dengue, a serious and potentially lethal complication, is unpredictable. Hence, all suspected cases require close observation for the early detection of warning signs of severe dengue.
