Coming from a tropical island where mosquito borne diseases are fast becoming epidemic, one need to be wary of dengue fever, especially secondary infection as you have experienced Sunil. Persons who have suffered with dengue fever more than once should be more concerned about Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF). As already mentioned, this type is more severe and life threatening as it can lead to dengue shock syndrome, with a fatality rate of as high as 44% especially amongst children. So if you are having signs of fever, bleeding gums or nose, red rash and vomiting blood or blood in stool, please check your doctor.
