Dengue symptoms can appear from the third day after the insect bite, with an average of five to six days. According to Fiocruz, the disease is transmitted by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito (when infected by the virus) and can also cause both the classic manifestation and the form considered hemorrhagic.
The main symptoms are high fever above 39°C, pain in the body and joints, pain behind the eyes, lack of appetite, headache, red spots on the body and progressive increase in hematocrit (a measure of the proportion of red blood cells in the blood). .
The most serious symptoms of the disease, which is known as dengue hemorrhagic fever, have similar initial symptoms, but there is a worsening of the condition on the third or fourth day of evolution, with the appearance of hemorrhagic manifestations and circulatory collapse.
Fiocruz changed that in severe cases, shock usually occurs between the third and seventh day of illness, usually preceded by abdominal pain. Shock results from increased vascular permeability, followed by hemoconcentration and circulatory failure. Some patients may also have neurological manifestations, such as seizures and irritability.
