Dengue fever has resulted to a significant burden to the Philippines. For many years , it has affected a substantial amount of the population falling ill and even causing death. With this presentation I want to provide you with information to better understand the disease and promote the implementation of measures to control this problem. Dengue is a threat to health and everyone is at risk .

Objectives
Define Dengue and provide the common signs and symptoms of the disease and information on the impact of this illness in the Philippines.
Raise public awareness of the current problem in terms of:
Illustrating the process of the fever.
Providing workable solution or practices.
Provide the implementation of effective control measures that would eradicate the mosquitos and the disease.
Evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding dengue infections among students.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
High fever, hemorrhage, has 4 grades:

Grade 3: Signs of circulatory failure
Grade 4: Profound shock,death
Reference: WHO, 2006
Transmission of Dengue
The dengue virus is spread through a
human-to-mosquito-to-human cycle
transmission (CDC, 2010; WHO, 2009).
