The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is an organization that was established in 1902 as the world oldest’s public the health organization. The experts from this organization are working with health authority from Paraguay to help control dengue fever in the community. This has affected a lot of people in the communities and has been a concern around the nation and the neighboring countries like South America. Dengue fever is a disease caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. It only takes one mosquito bite in order to get the disease, and it takes from three to fifteen days to start getting the symptoms of dengue. When you get dengue fever you will have a high fever, a rash, a headache, and severe muscle joint pain.
If you found out about it as soon as possible and go see the doctor you will get better in two to three days. They actually haven’t found the treatment of dengue fever, but they can give you medications to lower the fever, decrease the pain of muscle aches, and stop headaches. They would give you fluids through a needle in a vein to protect you from dehydration. Some people recover fully from dengue, but if you just had it for the first time you might feel weak and fatigued for a few weeks; sometimes people who had it before might develop the virus again. When you were infected by dengue fever your immune system keeps producing cells that will prevent your body from getting infected again for about a year. If severe hemorrhaging occurs it might be necessary to do blood transfusions.
The tropics and subtropics are the areas of high risk for dengue fever, places like the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. They have found the case of this disease in South Asia, too. In Thailand 31 people were killed because of dengue fever in 1998, and last year it killed three times that. People are scared of this disease in Thailand. I’ve learned that dengue fever is severe in Vietnam, too. More than 3, 880 people have been infected just this month, and about 39 people have died just this year.
The mosquitoes must be eliminated in order to prevent dengue fever. People have to eliminate any source of standing water, such as buckets and vases. It would help, too, if people who are already infected by dengue fever were placed in the mosquitoes nets so that the mosquitoes won’t bite them and go bite someone else.
The people in Paraguay have been warned that this year might be the dangerous year because of dengue fever. In the middle of January, Paraguay has declared an epidemiological alert to let people know that dengue has emerged. The first two deaths that were reported in January 20th were caused by dengue fever. The PAHO original advisor of dengue Dr. Josй Luis San Martнn said that they main goal for this year is to treat people who are affected so that they can prevent more deaths. This organization has sent a team of experts to Paraguay to start assisting people and providing technical help in medical treatment, social communication, and health services organization. Countries like Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia have stepped up to prevent dengue fever and take control it. Paraguay has taken this very seriously and their health authority has understood all the strategies they need to prevent dengue fever and they have the ability to respond to it if it increases in any way.

Dengue’s major outbreaks tend to be separated every period of five years, and it increases intensively every time. Dr. Martin said that this year it’s going to be very difficulty and it’s not going to take just the health sector but they will need the participation of every other sectors and the people. He said that the community efforts are the principle to preventing and decreasing outbreaks of dengue. If the people get together and work together, I believe that this will make a big difference in the society. I know that there’s no cure or vaccination for this disease, and all that people can do is try to protect their communities.
