Dengau Fever Viruses

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) could not be separated from the action of dengue virus in the blood. Disease transmitted by the bite of Aedes aegypti Mosquito, it first became epidemic in Indonesia in 1968.

Medical specialist in internal medicine from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, dr.Leonard Nainggolan, Sp.PD, said there are four variants of dengue virus. Namely DEN virus 1, 2, 3, and 4.

"All four are already in Jakarta since 1970," said the doctor who studied the handling of dengue fever and tropical infectious diseases in the event Pocari Sweat Conference 2012 in Jakarta.

He explained, because dengue virus causes the disease, usually resolves itself after the body makes antibodies against it.

If you've been infected with dengue virus four times greater likelihood that people already has antibodies to all type of virus.

Although both DEN 1 virus is exist in other countries, but little difference. So for anyone who frequently travel abroad is still possible he contracted dengue fever from other types of viruses.
