Demam Berdarah

In the world there are many different types of viruses that cause dengue fever, but in Indonesia only two types of viruses that reproduce well that dengue virus and Chikungunya virus. Of the two types of the virus, dengue virus causes virtually all cases of dengue fever.

Therefore, we more often hear about the disease dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) compared with Chikungunya disease. Nevertheless, the existence of both types of dengue fever can not be taken lightly because it can lead to death.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever virus into the human body through the bite of the mosquito Aedes aegypti adult female. Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes need blood of humans or animals in order to survive and proliferate.

Humans who live in the vicinity of the Aedes aegypti mosquito nesting will be easily infected with dengue virus. Infected adults may be affected by dengue fever mild or severe, depending on his endurance. Dengue virus can not multiply when the human immune system is strong enough.

Treatment of Dengue Fever



Conversely, if the immune system is low, for example as in children, dengue fever can be a very serious disease and can be deadly. Therefore, treatment is needed dengue fever right.

Dengue virus is a microorganism that can only multiply inside living cells. If the virus gets into the human body, the virus will compete with cells of the human body to get protein. When the human immune system is infected with dengue virus is not good, then the body's own cells will be lost with the dengue virus.

Dengue virus will damage and consuming cells of the human body so that the body functions do not work properly. If the human immune system to improve, then he will be healed and his body produces immunity against dengue virus.

Like most diseases are caused by a virus infection, the patient will generally recover on their own, depending on his endurance. However, the symptoms that arise due to act of dengue virus needs to be watched. If not handled properly, then the symptoms is the one that can lead to the death of patients.

These symptoms are almost similar to the symptoms of other diseases such as measles, typhoid or sore throat. This is why, in many cases of dengue, patients treated late. The earliest symptoms of the disease are high fever which appeared very suddenly.
