What are the symptoms of dengue fever?

Symptoms of dengue fever include a sudden high fever, severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, severe joint and muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, and mild bleeding such as nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and easily bruising. Some mild symptoms can often be confused with the flu. Symptoms are generally less serious in younger children, and are more severe among older children and adults. The more serious cases may develop into what is known as “dengue hemorrhagic fever.” This is likely to result in bleeding and dangerously low blood pressure, which can lead to death (Webmd 2011).
