Dengue-Like Illness
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The term dengue-like illness is used to describe febrile conditions that resemble dengue in their manifestations, but whose specific cause is still being investigated or may correspond to other mosquito-transmitted agents. The clinical resemblance is what gives this group of conditions its name.
Common symptoms: Fever, headache, muscle and joint discomfort, general malaise, and, at times, skin rashes.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable with persistent fever accompanied by intense aches, especially in areas or seasons where transmitting mosquitoes are present.
Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist studies illnesses caused by infectious agents, with support from the internist for comprehensive management. With a febrile condition that does not improve, the safest course is to have a professional evaluate and monitor its progress.
