Dengue haemorrhagic fever is a potentially lethal complication affecting the victims, mainly children. Its symptoms are high fever, intense headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, severe itching, rash, pain behind the eyes, loss of appetite and fatigue.

Symptoms may progress to massive bleeding, shock, and death.

Proper preventive measures should be taken in consultation with doctors.
