How it happen..
Dengue fever
When a mosquito carrying dengue
virus bites a person, the virus enter
the skin together with the mosquito
saliva.
Its bind to and enter the WBC, and
reproduces inside the cell while
they move throughout the body.
The WBC responds by producing
anumber of signaling proteins such
as “interferon” .
In severe infection, the virus
production inside the body is
greatly increased and more
organ such as liver and bone
marrow can be affected and
fluid from the bloodstream
leaks through the wall of
small blood vessel into body
cavities.
As a result, less blood circulates
in the blood vessel and the
blood pressure become so low
that it cannot supply sufficient
blood to vital organ.
Futhurmore, dysfunction of the bone marrow leads to
reduce number of platelets, which are necessary for
blood clotting, this increases the risk of bleeding.

from old tires, trash cans, and flower pots.
