摘要：Among the various seasonal infections, Dengue virus infection has become a potential public health threat contributing to severe morbidity and mortality both in developed and developing nations. With no specific prophylactic treatment options and no vaccine available for prevention of infection, thousands of deaths and severe economic burden are attributed to the dengue viral infection worldwide. The condition is most severe in the low-socioeconomic nations which are ill equipped to control the vector Aedes aegypti responsible for spread of infection. Health awareness among the public regarding the potential nature of dengue virus, measures required in controlling the spread of infection and effective management of infected patients during Dengue epidemics and endemics is the need of the hour.
