Dengue Risk in Urban Homes Rises as Symptoms Can Worsen Rapidly

Dengue cases are rising in urban areas, affecting people who spend most of their time indoors, including those in high-rise buildings. The Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds in common household items with stagnant water, making indoor environments vulnerable. Dengue symptoms often start mildly but can worsen rapidly between days three and five, with warning signs such as severe pain, vomiting, bleeding, and sudden platelet drops requiring close medical attention.
