Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by the dengue virus which is ‘carried’ by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The typical symptom is a high fever without other symptoms, for example, without a cough, runny nose, or shortness of breath.
Some patients complain of symptoms of pain behind the eyes, headaches, joint pain, to the appearance of red patches on the skin or bleeding. Even though

This disease, according to dr. Debbie Latupeirissa, Sp.A (K) from Pondok Indah Hospital – Bintaro Jaya, including self-limiting disease or a disease that can heal by itself. Unfortunately, in some situations, dengue can cause fatalities if not treated quickly.
