It can lead to severe illness in some cases. Four different viruses can cause dengue fever, and Aedes mosquitoes transmit it. Symptoms range of dengue fever from mild to severe. Severe symptoms can indicate dengue shock syndrome (DSS) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). These require urgent medical attention. In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a vaccine for children ages 9–16 years who have had dengue in the past and live in areas where dengue is common. These areas include some United States territories. For most people, the best way to prevent dengue fever is to take steps to avoid mosquito bites. There is no cure for dengue fever. However, early recognition and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent fatalities.
