Is there any difference between dengue fever and dengue hemorraghic fever?

i am going to report in our class tomorrow and i am very confuse if i would touch dengue fever in my report in fact, i was asked to report DFH... what do u think guys? Help.....

I know, i know, HEMORRHAGIC, right?

Yes. DHF has a higher mortality rate than DF. Cases of DHF also show higher fever, haemorrhagic phenomena, thrombocytopenia and haemoconcentration. A small proportion of cases lead to dengue shock syndrome (DSS) which has a high mortality rate.

DF develops into DHF when not treated properly.

go to www.wikipedia.com

You can found your answer at

actually yes, dngue causative agent: Chinkungunya virus; vector - aedes aegypti remember acronym DLSU - d for daybiting, l for low flying, s for stagnant water and u for urban areas

dengue fever - high fever, normal platelet count, no petechiae, with nausea and vomiting, normal bp

dengue hemorrhagic fever - hematemesis, melena, petechiae, abdominal pain, low bp, might develop in shock, no fever, low platelet count (less than 150,000)
