Dengue fever is a deadly vital and easily prevalent viral disease mostly emerge in tropical countries because of their weather conditions and it is increasingly becoming a threat to the world. It is exacerbated by either of the four dengue virus serotypes and is transferred through female Aedes mosquitoes when she bites human beings. Dengue illness extends from moderate fever to serious dengue-hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome symptoms. Mass immigration, growing air traffic, and rapid urbanization have contributed to higher infection levels and enabled dengue extend its demographic and geographic spread (Khetarpal & Khanna, 2016). Dengue is an infection which is self-limiting and typically lasts 1 week. Throughout the period of serious infection it often destabilizes. The clinical characteristics of dengue fever differ by patient's age. The infants and small children with skin lesions may have indistinct fractious disease. The elderly can have moderate febrile disorder or serious illness with elevated temperature, extreme fatigue, retro-orbital discomfort, muscle weakness, dysphagia, diarrhea, vomiting, and papules. Typically, leukopenia and anemia arise at all age groups. For certain instances, dengue fever can follow problem of bleeding, including gingival inflammation, pericardial effusion, stomach ulcers, proteinuria and dysphagia (Swaminathan & Khanna, 2013). Furthermore, Brauer, Castillo-Chavez & Feng (2019) stated as per World Health Organization (WHO), about 50,000,000 people all over the world get dengue contaminated.
