Dengue fever can be difficult to diagnose since its signs and symptoms are similar to those of other diseases such as chikungunya, Zika virus, malaria, and typhoid fever.
Your doctor will almost certainly inquire about your medical and travel history. Make careful to explain your overseas visits in full, including the countries you visited and the dates, as well as any mosquito encounter you may have had.
Your doctor may also collect a blood sample to be evaluated in a lab for signs of dengue virus infection. A blood test to look for the virus or antibodies to it can help doctors detect dengue illness. Please notify your doctor if you fall ill after visiting a tropical location. This will help your doctor to determine whether your symptoms were caused by a dengue infection.
