Clinical Manifestations and Diagnosis:
- Dengue presents with a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild fever, headache, and joint pain (dengue fever) to severe manifestations such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS).
- Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, supported by laboratory tests such as antigen detection, nucleic acid amplification, and serological assays.
- Timely recognition of warning signs and early intervention are critical to preventing complications and fatalities.
