how dengue is caused - #36152
I am really worried because my brother just got diagnosed with dengue, and we are all trying to figure out how dengue is caused. He started feeling really sick last week—fever, joint pains, and then this awful rash showed up. It was so sudden, one minute he was fine and the next he couldn’t even get out of bed. The doctor said it’s definitely dengue, but we don’t really understand how dengue is caused. We live in a city that’s had a bunch of rain lately, and I’m thinking maybe he was bitten by a mosquito when he went outside to hang out with friends. Like, is it just the mosquitoes that spread dengue, or could there be something else we don’t know about? I did some reading, and it sounds like there’s different types of dengue fever too, which is confusing! Is it possible he could have another viral infection that's kinda similar? And what precautions should we take now that we know how dengue is caused? We’re doing our best with mosquito repellent and keeping doors closed, but what else can we do? Should we be worried about other family members getting it? I'm just trying to understand this whole thing better before it gets worse.
