The document discusses Dengue fever (DF), a mosquito-borne viral disease. It provides details on the history, transmission, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of DF. DF is common in tropical and sub-tropical regions and is caused by the dengue virus, which has four serotypes. While most cases are mild, infection with a second serotype increases the risk of severe dengue which can be fatal if not properly treated through fluid resuscitation. Prevention relies on controlling the mosquito vectors and avoiding mosquito bites. There is no vaccine available for all four serotypes.
