Climate Change Expands Dengue Risks; Early Diagnosis Remains Challenging
Dengue fever, traditionally a monsoon-related illness, has become a year-round health concern due to climate change, which expands mosquito habitats and transmission periods. Early dengue diagnosis is challenging as symptoms resemble other viral infections, and tests may miss the virus in initial days. Distinguishing dengue from common seasonal fevers is crucial; dengue often presents with sudden high fever, severe body pain, and other intense symptoms, while typical viral fevers are milder and resolve with rest. Medical attention is advised for persistent or severe symptoms.
