Dengue fever also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms includefever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting inbleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, wheredangerously low blood pressure occurs.

Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquitowithin the genus Aedes, principally A. aegypti. The virus has four different types; infection with one type usually gives lifelong immunity to that type, but only short-term immunity to the others.
