Surviving Dengue Fever - A Personal Day-By-Day Account of the Symptoms, Treatment and Severe Aftereffects (Paperback)

Surviving Dengue Fever is a factual personal account of what it is like to suffer from this unpleasant tropical disease. Far from being a mild flu-like virus, as some sources suggest, this mosquito-borne disease causes unpleasant symptoms and long-lasting after-effects that linger for months. In more serious cases, Dengue Fever can be fatal. The frustrating lack of available detailed information motivated the author to keep a diary of the symptoms, along with the best treatments found to alleviate the fever, rash, painful joints and peeling skin that accompany dengue fever. Written in simple layman's terms, Surviving Dengue Fever offers an in-depth insight into what to expect if you are unfortunate enough to be contract dengue fever. It answers many questions that sufferers and their carers may have about dengue fever, particularly the timeline of each phase of the disease. It describes the many unexpected after-effects such as peeling skin, hair loss, weight loss and vertigo that the author experienced up to 12 weeks after being diagnosed with dengue fever. As a handbook, Surviving Dengue Fever gives a full and detailed account of Dengue Fever from the patient's point of view. This invaluable book should be recommended reading for all tropical travelers and medical practitioners who may come into contact with dengue fever.
