 Dengue
Home >> Dengue

by Dr Rajesh Shah, MD
Dengue is a serious viral infection prevalent mostly in the tropical countries like India, Africa etc.
Causes: It is transmitted by an infected female Aedes aegypti mosquito. When the mosquito bites a
person infected with dengue, the dengue virus enters the body of that particular mosquito. When the
infected mosquito bites a healthy human being, the dengue virus enters the human body and the
person shows the symptoms of dengue.
Symptoms:
 High grade fever with chills. Fever is as high as 104*F
 Severe headaches
 Severe joints and muscle pains
 Sever pain in eyeballs especially while moving the eyes.
 Appearance of skin rash mostly on the abdomen and limbs.
 Nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite
 Internal and external bleeding in the body
Dengue fever should be suspected when the patient complains of very high temperatureand severe
body pain. While giving the history the patient says, “I feel as if each bone of mine is broken.―
when a practitioner gets to hear such kind of words or description by a patient, he should investigate
that patient for dengue fever immediately.
Dengue fever is also known as the “Break bone fever―. Platelet counts start decreasing fast in the
blood in such patients. Platelets are responsible for stopping the bleeding occurring anywhere in the
 body. The decrease in number of platelets increases chances of hemorrhage from various parts of the
body in the patients suffering from this disease.
Following symptoms in a patient of Dengue are considered the alarming signs. Such patients should be
kept under close medical observation.
 Bleeding from the nose
 Bleeding from mouth
 Passing blood in urine. This may present as passing reddish or brownish urine.
 Passing blood in stools. Or passing dark colored stools.
 Bleeding under the skin causing bruising on the body.
 Severe hypotension means drop in the blood pressure.
 Brain hemorrhage and internal bleeding in various parts of the body like stomach, lungs etc.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis is confirmed by doing Dengue IgM test along with other blood tests like CBC ESR, Liver
function test, PCR and virus isolation tests are the confirmatory tests for the Dengue fever.
Prevention:
Spread of this disease can be reduced by taking following measures.
1. As far as possible wear clothes that cover the skin of the whole body. This prevents the skin exposure
to the mosquitoes.
2. Use mosquito repellents in the room
3. Use nets and screening on windows.
4. Avoid storing water in bathrooms and kitchen as dengue spreading mosquitoes breed in clean and
stagnant water.
5. Avoid keeping plants in the house. Because this is an ideal ground for the mosquito breeding.
Treatment:
The treatment is given symptomatically. Ideally, patient should be hospitalized to keep a check on
platelet counts and as there is lot of loss of fluids from the body patient has to be administered IV
fluids to keep him hydrated. Patient of Dengue can easily go into hypotension (low blood pressure), so
continuous Blood Pressure monitoring is also very important. When there is a need doctor advises the
patient for undergoing platelet transfusion.
Role of homeopathy:
Dengue is the disease which requires a close monitoring of the patient in the hospital. Administering
homeopathic drugs along with other conventional drugs can speed up the time of recovery in the
patient.
Homeopathic medicine Eupatorium Perfoleatum is one of the drugs best known to reduce the body pain
considerably in the patient suffering from Dengue. Apart from this, drugs like Aconite, Rhus
Toxicodendron, and Ipecacunha etc. can be given as per the symptoms.
As a supportive line of treatment along with conventional medicines, homeopathic medicines can offer
best results in the treatment of Dengue. More research is required to prove if Dengue could be treated
by homeopathy alone. At this point, Dr Shah does not suggest only homeopathic medicines for the
treatment of Dengue
