Conclusion
The incidence of endemic and epidemic dengue has increased substantially in recent years and dengue fever is a leading cause of post-travel febrile illness. Healthcare professionals need to understand the disease to advise individuals travelling overseas. No vaccine exists to protect against dengue fever and no specific antiviral treatment is available. Treatment of the disease relies on supportive therapy. The single most effective measure to reduce the risk of dengue is avoidance of mosquito bites. Sensible personal protection and conscientious use of recognized bite avoidance preparations will lessen the likelihood of being bitten and will protect not only against dengue fever, but malaria, chikungunya and other diseases that may circulate in the same geographic areas and are transmitted by infected mosquitoes NS Complete time out activity.
