Dengue is endemic in India and what makes it a bigger issue is that having the disease once does not give one an immunity for life like in case of Chikungunya. Caused due to the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito, dengue is a serious concern for health experts, partly because of the bone breaking symptoms it has and partly because of the complication like the hemorrhagic fever which causes bleeding in the internal organs and if not managed, can even be life threatening.
But while ever since the outbreak of COVID-19 there have been incessant discussions about the repercussions of COVID on the body and a lot of research has gone into establishing the impact of long COVID on the body, very little has been said or written about what dengue can do to the body in the long run.
