Abstract

Dengue is an acute, infectious arbovirus disease caused by dengue viruses, transmitted by bites of mosquito Aedes aegypti. In Ayurveda, the symptoms of Dengue are similar to Dandak jwara. Dandak jwara means fever with sever joints and muscle pains, that why it is named “breakbone fever”. In Modern medicines there is no exact treatment for this disease. The treatment they do in dengue is only symptomatic. But in Ayurveda there is exact treatment for this disease, which not only cure the dengue but also destroys it from its roots as well as prevents its complication and reoccurrence. Here in this article, we had mentioned its signs and symptoms with its modern comparison along with Ayurvedic management of Dengue.
