The survivors who are recovering after dengue fever may face a higher risk of long-term complications compared to those recovering after COVID-19 infection, a new study revealed.
In the year after the infection, patients recovering from dengue have a 55% higher risk of heart complications such as irregular heartbeats, heart disease, and blood clots compared to COVID-19 survivors. The concerning discovery came when researchers investigated the long-term implications of dengue, particularly in the context of its expanding geographic range due to climate change.
