Patient Education & Awareness

Overview, Symptoms and Cure of Diseases

 

Dengue

HIV/AIDS SWINE-FLU

Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of an infected female Aedes mosquito. There are four distinct serotypes of the dengue virus (DEN 1, DEN 2, DEN 3 and DEN 4). Symptoms appear in 3–14 days (average 4–7 days) after the infective bite. Dengue fever is a flu-like illness that affects infants, young children and adults.

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with symptoms such as headache, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), and rash. The presence of fever, rash, and headache (the "dengue triad") is particularly characteristic of dengue. Other signs of dengue fever include bleeding gums, severe pain behind the eyes, and red palms and soles.

Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) can affect anyone but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of five serotypes of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular viral serotype to which the patient was exposed.

Dengue goes by other names, including "breakbone" or "dandy fever." Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain, hence the name breakbone fever. Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to have dandy fever because of their postures and gait.


DO’S AND DON’TS FOR PATIENTS

 

If you or any family member is suffering from suspected dengue fever, it is important to carefully watch yourself or relative for the next few days, since this disease can rapidly become very serious and lead to a medical emergency.

 

The complications associated with Dengue Fever/Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever usually appear between the third and fifth day of illness. You should therefore watch the patient for two days even after fever disappears.

 

WHAT TO DO:

 

•    Keep body temperature below 39oC.

•    Give large amounts of fluids (water, soup, milk, juice) along with the patient’s normal diet.

•    The patient should take complete rest.

•    Immediately consult a doctor if any of the following manifestations appear:

 

 o Red spots or points on the skin;

 

 o Bleeding from the nose or gums;

 

 o Frequent vomiting;

 

 o Vomiting with blood;

 

 o Black stools;

 

 o Sleepiness;

 

 o Constant crying;

 

 o Abdominal pain;

 

 o Excessive thirst (dry mouth);

 

 o Pale, cold or clammy skin;

 

 o Difficulty in breathing.

 

WHAT NOT TO DO:

• Do not wait in case the above symptoms appear. Immediately consult a doctor. It is crucial to quickly get treatment in case of these complications.

 

• Do not take Aspirin or Brufen or Ibubrufen.


  • HIV is the infection that causes AIDS.
  • HIV has few or no symptoms for up to 10 years or more before symptoms of AIDS develop.
  • There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment is available.

Symptoms

There are several stages of HIV disease. The first HIV symptoms may include swollen glands in the throat, armpit, or groin. Other early HIV symptoms include slight fever, headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches. These symptoms may last for only a few weeks. Then there are usually no HIV symptoms for many years.

 

Cure

 If you have HIV/AIDS, you can take combinations of medicines called "cocktails." The drug cocktails are designed to strengthen the immune system to keep HIV from developing into AIDS or to relieve AIDS symptoms. These drugs are often very expensive, may have serious and very uncomfortable side effects, and may not be available to everyone. They only work for some people and may only work for limited periods of time

HOW HIV spread

· having vaginal or anal intercourse without a condom with someone who has HIV/AIDS

· sharing needles or syringes with someone who has HIV/AIDS

· being deeply punctured with a needle or surgical instrument contaminated with HIV

·  getting HIV-infected blood, semen, or vaginal secretions into open wounds or sores

Babies born to women with HIV/AIDS can get HIV from their mothers during birth or from breastfeeding.

HIV CANNOT be spread by:

  • Touching
  • Shaking hands
  • Hugging or kissing
  • Coughing and sneezing
  • Giving blood
  • Using swimming pools or toilet seats
  • Sharing bed linen
  • Eating utensils or food
  • Animals, mosquitoes or other insects

Hiv / Aids Dos:-

• Sympathise and empathise with them

• Provide them family and social support

• Allow them to be a part of the family as he / she was prior todisclosure of the infection

• Allow them to get back to their work as soon as soon as he / she isphysically fit, since HIV infection doesn’t require special rest

• Keep them engaged in some activity, as an empty mind is a devil’sworkshop

• Make efforts to reduce their stress

• Encourage them to exercise and meditate as these help prolong the lifespan

• Provide them with a high protein, high vitamin diet and clean potablewater (boiled)

• Convince them to stop all addictions such as tobacco cigarettes, alcoholor other      psychotropic / recreational drugs

• Register them with a health care facility for regular checks and follow up

• Take immediate steps to treat even minor ailments. However, it is notnecessary to disclose their HIV status to their family physician

• Dispose off blood stained tampons and bandages properly, either byflushing or by disinfecting them first with detergent

 

Hiv / Aids Donts :-

· Don’t accuse them for getting infected, it doesn’t help

· Don’t try to probe into when, where the person was infected
