Don't be careless; beware of dengue fever.<\/a><\/h3>
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease transmitted through the bite of a mosquito called Aedes aegypti, which can attack all ages. This disease is still a public health problem in Indonesia. This viral infection can cause the platelet count to drop to very low levels. Which then causes blood vessels to become constricted and fluid leaks so that blood enters the body cavity and causes bleeding in the ears, nose, or skin, which can be fatal if not treated as early as possible. Symptoms of dengue fever to watch out for: Among the most important symptoms of dengue fever are noodles. 1. Sudden fever reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius. 2. Fever persists continuously for 2–7 days and then subsides quickly. Other common symptoms are 1. Pain in the head, behind the eyes, muscles, and bones 2. Fever chills 3. Weakness 4. A red rash or red spots appear. 5. Difficulty swallowing food and drink 6. Nausea and vomiting 7. Nosebleeds If you experience the symptoms of dengue fever described above, you will go through the following stages of dengue fever: Early phase: The most common symptom of exposure to dengue fever in the early stages is high fever. High-fever dengue fever is often accompanied by flushing of the face, skin, body, muscles, and headaches. Critical phase: This phase is characterized by a decrease in body temperature until it reaches normal. However, patients are at greatest risk of experiencing blood vessel leaks. In the critical phase of this disease, the body temperature drops and the body feels cold, even though the sufferer appears to be recovering. However, you have to be careful at this stage because dengue shock syndrome can occur, which can be life-threatening. Recovery Phase: dengue fever patients experience fever again. However, this condition is a recovery phase where the platelet count of dengue fever patients slowly rises and returns to normal. Establish a diagnosis of dengue fever. A physical examination and laboratory blood tests are needed to diagnose dengue fever. A physical examination is carried out to look for clinical signs, such as a high fever and signs of plasma leakage. A patch test may also be done to look for petechiae (small red spots) on the inside of the hand. Blood tests are carried out to detect white blood cells and red blood cells, as well as dengue virus antigens and antibodies. Dengue prevention One step to prevent dengue fever is vaccination. This will prevent family members from contracting dengue fever. Health experts recommend this vaccine for people between the ages of 9 and 45, especially those living in tropical and subtropical areas. The vaccine is given in three doses over a period of 12 months. Other efforts that can be taken are: mosquito nest destruction (PSN) in the 3M Plus environment, namely: Drain and clean water reservoirs regularly. Close the water reservoir tightly. Recycle or use items that can collect rainwater. Plus, preventing mosquito bites and breeding: Maintain fish that eat mosquito larvae. Plant mosquito-repellent plants. Sleep using a mosquito net. Install wire mesh in the ventilation holes. Use repellent or anti-mosquito lotion. Do not hang clothes that have been worn. Install ovitrap, lavitrap, and mosquito traps. Larvacidation occurs in places that are difficult to drain or close. By knowing some of the facts about dengue fever above, we hope to increase public awareness and attention to dengue fever. Come on, immediately consult a specialist at Hermina Daan Mogot Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dangerous Little Monster Bites | Dengue Virus Infection<\/a><\/h3>
Dengue virus infection is a disease caused by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti. Dengue fever is the fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease in the world. The little monster sucks blood during the day and breeds in clean, stagnant water. \n\n Signs and symptoms : \n\n \n More severe sufferers often complain of heartburn accompanied by restlessness and sweating a lot, but the skin feels cold. \n High fever for 2-7 days. \n Complaining of dizziness, aching joints, stomach pain, nausea, and loss of appetite accompanied by vomiting. \n Red spots appear on the skin (petechiae), and if pressed, they won't go away. \n \n\n In general, sufferers of dengue virus infection will experience a fever phase for 2–7 days. In the first phase, 1-3 days, the sufferer will experience a fairly high fever of 40°C. In the second phase, the sufferer experiences a critical phase on days 4–5, on In this phase, the patient will experience a decrease in fever to 370 °C, and the patient will feel able to carry out activities again (feel healed again). In this phase, if you do not receive adequate treatment, a fatal condition can occur. There will be a drastic decrease in platelets due to the rupture of blood vessels (bleeding). In the third phase, which will occur on the 6–7th day, the sufferer will feel the fever again. This phase is called the recovery phase, and in this phase, the platelets will slowly rise back to \n\n First aid \n\n When the initial symptoms appear, sufferers drink as much as possible so that their body does not lack fluids, take fever-reducing medication and warm compresses, and immediately come to the hospital for treatment. Apart from the actions above, the most effective step is to fortify yourself by increasing your body's endurance. Maintain stamina by exercising, getting enough rest, and consuming a nutritious diet. \n\n Prevention \n\n Prevention of dengue fever can be done by carrying out a mosquito nest eradication (PSN) program with 3M Plus, namely : \n\n \n Drain or clean the water reservoir \n Close the water reservoir tightly \n Drain or clean the water reservoir. \n Plus additional prevention, such as fogging or repairing ditches that are not smooth. \n \n\n PSN 3M Plus must be carried out regularly to create a clean environment free from mosquitoes, which cause dengue virus infection. It can also be prevented by undergoing the dengue vaccine. Based on research results, it was found that this vaccine has the best efficacy results in children aged 9–16 years, whereas when given under the age of 9 years, it will increase the risk of being treated for dengue infection and increase the risk of getting severe dengue, especially in children in the 2–5 year age group. So, the dengue vaccine can be given to children aged 9–16 three times at a distance of six months. Vaccination can also be started at any time when a child is 9 to 16 years old. \n\n If a Hermina friend experiences a fever with similar symptoms, immediately have your health checked at Hermina Pasteur Hospital to get appropriate treatment. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Dengue Vaccine, The first step to prevent the natural symptoms of DHF in children!<\/a><\/h3>
Dengue or dengue fever vaccine aims to prevent severe dengue hemorrhagic fever. Dengue fever is a deadly infectious disease in countries with tropical and subtropical climates, including Indonesia. Based on data from the Ministry of Health, from the beginning of the year to the 20th week of 2023, 33,027 cases of dengue fever were recorded with 258 deaths. This shows that dengue fever is one of the diseases that must be watched out for by the community. \n\n What Causes Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever? \n\n This disease is caused by infection with the Dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This mosquito is the cause of DHF which will transmit the virus when it bites and sucks the blood of its victim. This type of mosquito usually attacks in the morning and evening. \n\n In addition, there are several risk factors that make Sahabat Hermina more susceptible to dengue fever, including: \n\n \n Living in or currently traveling to the tropics. \n Children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. \n \n\n \nWhat are the Symptoms of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever? \n\n Generally, the symptoms of DHF are characterized by a sudden high fever. Apart from high fever, here are some signs and symptoms of DHF: \n\n \n Headache \n Nausea to vomiting \n Pain behind the eyes, bones and muscles \n A skin rash or reddish spots appear on the skin \n Sore throat accompanied by difficulty swallowing and drinking \n Bleeding such as nosebleeds, red spots on the skin, bleeding gums, black bowel movements, vomiting blood \n \n\n After these symptoms appear, it will enter a critical phase for 2-3 days. In this phase, many people think they have recovered because the high fever has subsided, the pain in the body has begun to decrease, and several additional symptoms have disappeared. This phase must be watched out for because it can cause Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) which can be very dangerous, even potentially causing death. One effort that can be done to fight the disease is to vaccinate. \n\n When to Do Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Vaccine? \n\n Dengue or DHF vaccine can be administered in the age range of 6-45 years. Especially if they live in areas with high rainfall. The DHF vaccine is given to someone who lives or travels to the tropics, especially Southeast Asia, the western Pacific islands, Latin America and Africa. The dengue vaccine also needs to be given to someone who has had dengue fever. \n\n Where can I get the Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Vaccine? \n\n RSU Hermina Pandanaran provides dengue vaccines with the product Qdenga which is indicated for the prevention of dengue disease caused by all serotypes of dengue virus in individuals aged 6 – 45 years by administering 2 doses with a distance of 3 months between doses. Let's consult and do a dengue vaccine at Hermina Pandanaran General Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Beware of Dengue Fever by Recognizing the Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
What is Dengue Fever? \n\n Dengue fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the Dengue virus which is transmitted through mosquito bites. This disease is common in tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue fever can cause symptoms of high fever, headache, and bone and muscle aches. for more severe DHF conditions, it can cause serious bleeding and death. \n\n Dengue fever can attack children or adults. This disease is transmitted only when a mosquito bites a DHF sufferer, then bites a healthy person. \n\n Based on the level of severity, dengue fever is divided into three types, namely: \n\n Dengue fever (dengue fever), the symptoms tend to be mild and without signs of bleeding \nDengue hemorrhagic fever (dengue hemorrhagic fever or DHF), which is DHF with severe symptoms and signs of bleeding, such as nosebleeds or bleeding gums \nShock syndrome due to dengue (dengue shock syndrome or DSS), namely severe dengue with a high mortality rate, which is usually characterized by symptoms of weakness or unconsciousness, cold sweat, vomiting of blood, or shortness of breath \nCauses of Dengue Fever \n\n Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus. Two mosquitoes that can transmit this virus are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, these mosquitoes are usually active and bite in the morning and evening. This mosquito lives in stagnant water that is calm and basically clean, such as puddles in car tires, plastic waste or animal drinking places. \n\n Symptoms and Complications of Dengue Fever \n\n In general, the DHF phase is shaped like a horse's saddle cycle, starting with a sudden fever on the first day until the third day of this disease phase. Fever can reach temperatures of 39−40°C, which is difficult to reduce even though the patient has taken antipyretic drugs. Fever may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as: \n\n \n Terrible headache \n Pain behind the eye \n Muscle and joint pain \n Loss of appetite \n Weak \n Nausea and vomiting \n Skin rash occurs \n \n\n Furthermore, DHF will continue to a critical phase, namely on day 4 to day 6. In this phase, the fever goes down but bleeding symptoms, such as nosebleeds or vomiting blood, easily occur. Platelets that have decreased drastically can also occur in this critical phase. \n\n If not handled properly, sufferers of dengue fever in the critical phase can experience complications in the form of accumulation of fluid in the chest or abdominal cavity, severe bleeding, and failure of blood flow to vital organs (shock). \n\n If handled quickly and appropriately, DHF sufferers will recover within 1-2 weeks. However, if the condition of dengue fever is severe, blood vessels can become damaged and leak. This condition will cause the number of clot-forming cells (platelets) in the bloodstream to fall. This condition can cause shock, internal bleeding, organ failure and even death. The condition of severe dengue fever usually begins the first day or two after the fever is gone, the signs are: \n\n \n Severe stomach ache. \n Constant vomiting. \n Bleeding from the gums or nose. \n Blood in urine, stool, or vomit. \n Bleeding under the skin, which looks like a bruise. \n Difficult or rapid breathing. \n Fatigue. \n Irritability or restlessness. \n \n\n Treatment of Dengue Fever \n\n If you experience DHF symptoms, immediately consult a doctor, especially if people around you have been diagnosed with this disease. \n\n Treatment can be done immediately through emergency medical treatment if: \n\n \n Appears limp or dazed \n Skin feels wet and cold \n Severe stomach ache \n Severe vomiting, especially if it is accompanied by blood \n Hard to breathe \n Nosebleeds and bleeding gums \n Black or bloody stools \n \n\n Prevention of Dengue Fever \nBecause DHF is caused by mosquito bites, mosquito bite prevention and mosquito population control are the main methods for preventing the spread and transmission of dengue fever. \n\n If Hermina's friends live or travel to areas that are often affected by this disease, you can apply the following tips to reduce the risk of mosquito bites: \n\n Use air conditioning or mosquito nets installed over ventilation and beds, as the mosquitoes that carry the dengue virus are most active from dawn to dusk, but they can also bite at night. \nwear protective clothing when going to mosquito-infested areas, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks and shoes. \nUse insect repellent that can be applied to clothes, shoes, camping gear, mosquito nets or skin. \nReducing mosquito habitat by covering stagnant water. Mosquitoes that carry the dengue virus usually live in and around homes, breeding in stagnant water. Cover or throw away any containers with standing water \n\n So, if Hermina's best friend experiences symptoms that are indicated to lead to dengue fever, immediately go to the doctor for an examination so that she can get treatment earlier and faster. so that the health condition can be maintained and avoid the severe category of dengue fever which can cause death. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Be wary of Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) in children, a potentially fatal complication of DHF.<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Hermina’s Friend, the dengue fever virus tends to attack children under the age of 10 and can cause death. Most parents of children with DHF or dengue fever are afraid if the platelets start to fall, even though what is actually dangerous is not the decreased platelets. What makes dengue fever dangerous is plasma leakage. Plasma leakage is fluid in the blood vessels that leaks out of the blood vessels until it runs out. It's like a boba drink that doesn't have water; you must feel "drag," right? Well, if that happens to human blood vessels, circulation failure will occur. This circulatory failure is now called Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). \n\n \n\n Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) will cause the body's circulation to be unable to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all organs. This is what parents should be aware of when their child has DHF. \n\n \n\n Dengue fever has many spectrums, ranging from mild to the most severe, which is dengue shock syndrome. There are several risk factors that can exacerbate BDD in children with DSS, including: \n\n \n \n Infants under 1 year old \n \n \n Overweight infants and children (obesity) \n \n \n I've had dengue fever before. \n \n \n\n When should I go to the hospital immediately? \n\n Before carrying out laboratory checks, we still can't be sure whether this is dengue fever or not. However, we can be aware that if the pattern of fever is continuous, if we are given fever-reducing drugs, the fever will go down and come back up again. Besides that, the thing to watch out for is if the child has severe stomach pain, is vomiting, and cannot eat or drink. If the child is in this condition, immediately take him to the hospital for examination. \n\n \n\n Can dengue fever or DSS patients be treated at home? \n\n The condition of children affected by DHF can be treated at home, and they do not need an assessment from a doctor. If you are allowed to be treated at home, it is necessary to be monitored by the household and also to continue to monitor the results of blood tests every 24 hours. Make sure the child can eat and drink, and that he or she has enough urine.For children affected by DHF, it is still recommended that they be treated at the hospital in order to get treatment and monitoring by the medical team. If the child is already experiencing DSS, he will be treated intensively in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) room to monitor heart rate, respiration, and urine production. \n\n \n\n Can date honey and guava juice cure DHF or DSS? \n\n Until now, there has been no strong enough evidence to prove that date honey and guava juice can increase platelets. Platelets will rise by themselves when they enter the healing phase. \n\n \n\n Hermina friends, immediately take the child to the hospital if you experience the above symptoms! \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/span>");
