Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, transmitted by infected Aedes mosquitoes. There are four subtypes of the virus. Infections are more severe in immunocompromised individuals, the elderly, and young children. A second infection can be more severe due to cross-reacting antibodies from the first infection. Severe dengue fever can be fatal.
Uveitis
A type of eye inflammation that impacts the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea). Uveitis can be caused by infection, injury, or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease. It can be serious and lead to permanent vision loss, so early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Cerebral infarction refers to damage to brain tissue resulting from a stroke. It occurs due to decreased blood supply and oxygen delivery to the brain, causing brain cell death and brain damage. It is typically caused by a blood clot or fatty/cholesterol plaques blocking a blood vessel to the brain, but can also occur if a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
