At Nilaya Diagnostic, we believe that awareness, early detection, and prevention are your best defense.

Here’s everything you need to know to stay protected and informed.

What is Dengue?

Dengue is caused by the dengue virus, transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are most active during early morning and late afternoon.

There are four types of dengue viruses, and a person can be infected multiple times. In severe cases, dengue can lead to Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) or Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS), both of which require immediate medical attention.

Common Symptoms of Dengue

• High fever (104°F or above)
• Severe headaches
• Pain behind the eyes
• Joint and muscle pain (often called "breakbone fever")
• Skin rash
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue
• Mild bleeding (such as nosebleeds or bleeding gums)

If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms, seek medical care immediately. Early testing is critical.
