6-year-old Bengaluru girl dies of dengue within 48 hours of fever

Some symptoms of dengue are headache, muscle, bone or joint pain, nausea, vomiting, pain behind the eyes, swollen glands, and rash. While most people recover within a week or so, the condition might worsen for some people and become life-threatening. This is known as severe dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome. In such cases, the platelets drop which can cause shock, internal bleeding, organ failure and even death.
