Now a days, Dengue has become a well-known word in Bangladesh.  Dengue fever is a tropical infectious disease caused by the dengue virus.People get the dengue virus from mosquitoes. Dengue fever is also called break-bone fever, because it can cause so much pain that people feel like their bones are breaking.Most people who get the dengue virus have no symptoms, or have only mild symptoms like a basic fever.About 5% of infected people get much sicker. A small number of these people have symptoms that could kill them.After a person gets the dengue virus from a mosquito, it takes between 3 and 14 days for them to get sick. Most often, people start to feel sick after 4 to 7 days.Often, when children have dengue fever, their symptoms are the same as gastroenteritis like vomiting and diarrhea, or the common cold.However, children are more likely to have bad complications from dengue fever.Dengue fever happens in three stages: febrile, critical, and recovery.Recently many people in Bangladesh get affected by Dengue fever.Many of them are died and the number of the patients are increasing day by day in Bangladesh, mostly in Dhaka.  Most people with dengue fever can get better just by drinking enough. However, a small number of people get dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. There are no specific treatments for dengue fever. No known anti-viral medications will kill the dengue virus.These are medical emergencies and can kill a person if they do not get medical treatment.There is no vaccine that can keep people from getting the dengue virus. There is also no treatment to cure dengue fever. Doctors can only provide "supportive care," which means they can only treat dengue's symptoms.Since the 1960s, many more people have been getting dengue fever. Since World War II, dengue has become a problem around the world. It is common in more than 110 countries. Every year, between 50 million and 100 million people get dengue fever.
