 and carry higher amounts of the virus.

The most common symptom among those who contract the mosquito-borne ******** is fever. Other symptoms include serious headaches, nausea, vomiting, rash and body pain.

Symptoms can be mild or severe. Most dengue fever patients recover in a week, but in severe cases the ******** can be life-threatening and require hospitalization since it can result in shock, internal bleeding and even ******.

Those who have had dengue in the past are more likely to develop severe symptoms. A person can get ***** with dengue fever up to four times in their lifetime — once for each type of virus that can cause the ********, according to the CDC.

The latest CDC alert advises health care providers to have increased suspicion of dengue among people with fever, especially if they have recently been in areas with frequent dengue transmission. They’re advised to quickly report any dengue cases to public health authorities and promote mosquito ***** prevention measures.

The CDC said it’s also implementing other measures, such as improving and expanding laboratory testing to diagnose cases more effectively, as well as educating the public on the ******** and how to prevent it.

Some helpful prevention methods include staying in places with air conditioning when possible, using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants to avoid mosquito bites.
