Assessment of knowledge regarding prevention and management of dengue fever among adults attending outpatient department at selected hospitals in Bengaluru with a view to develop a self-instructional module

Jitty M Joseph

Dengue fever is now believed to be the most common arthropod-borne disease in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently estimates that there may be 50 to 100 million cases of Dengue fever worldwide every year. About 500,000 individuals per year manifest the severe forms, which gave a mortality rate of about 10 percent. Given the dramatic geographic expansion of epidemic Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), the WHO has classified this disease as a major international public health concern. DHF is more serious and the fatality rate is about 5%. Children younger than 15 years comprise 90% of DHF subjects in the world. DHF can affect both adult and children. Early screening and educating the adults regarding the preventive measures of Dengue fever can significantly reduce the risk of disease and death.
