Service Description

WHAT IS DENGUE FEVER AND HOW DO YOU GET IT? Dengue Fever is a viral illness spread by mosquitoes. You can find Dengue Fever throughout the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Oceania, Central and South America and to a lesser extent Africa. The disease can even be found in temperate climates in Southern Europe, and in fact, can establish itself in any location where the Aedes mosquito lives. In a rather bleak prediction, it is anticipated that by 2080 60% of the world's population could be at risk of this disease. Every year 400 million people are infected by the Dengue virus, with around 100 million people becoming sick. There are 4 strains of the Dengue Virus, which we refer to as DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4. DENV1 and DENV2 are the most common strains. HOW DO I KNOW IF I'VE GOT DENGUE FEVER? Symptoms of Dengue Fever are very similar to those of other viral/tropical diseases in the early days of an infection. Common tropical illnesses that Dengue can be mistaken for include malaria, enteric fever, zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya to name just a few. Early Symptoms: High Temperature, Severe Headache, Pain behind the eyes, Muscle, Joint and Bone Pain, Rashes. The disease can develop, into what is known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever and the most severe form Dengue Haemorrhagic Shock with symptoms that include persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, liver enlargement, difficulty breathing, fluid accumulation and bleeding of mucous membranes eg gums. Whilst most patients recover with hospital treatment these forms of dengue can ultimately prove to be fatal. Individuals who contract Dengue Fever will develop lifelong immunity to that particular strain but are not immune to reinfection and so can contract Dengue Fever on multiple occasions. Second infections are a risk factor for the severe forms of dengue. THE DENGUE VACCINE: Name: QDENGA Dose: 2 doses separated by 3 months Protection: All 4 strains of Dengue. DENV1-4 (limited evidence for effectiveness against strains 3-4) Age: 4 years upwards. Suitability: Patient must have had a clinically confirmed case of Dengue Fever for vaccination to be considered. (updated 26/3/2024) Booster: The need for a booster has yet to be established Type: Live vaccine, based on DENV2 Price: £100 per dose
