An acute, infectious, endemic, and epidemic disease; caused by a filtrable virus transmitted by mosquitoes, especially by the Aedes aegypti. Dengue is characterized by a febrile paroxysm, severe pains in the bones and muscles, headache, lymphaderophathy, maculopapular rash, retrobulbar pain, swelling, reddening, and pain of the joints. At times there is a coetaneous eruption. The period of incubation is from three to five days and the invasion is sudden.
