Abstract: In recent years, dengue fever cases have been reported from all around the world. Dengue fever is a viral infection that is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitos, particularly Aedes aegypti. The goal of this page is to provide information on many aspects of dengue. By reviewing peer-reviewed papers and acquiring access to internationally recognised scientific databases, a bibliographic search was done to retrieve accessible published content (Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, NISCAIR, Google Scholar and WHO Guidelines available during 1994-2016). Overall, 100 papers were thoroughly reviewed, but only 22 research from 1994 to 2016 were chosen for the study. Dengue criteria, transmission, laboratory diagnosis methods, clinical treatment (including a step-by-step approach to dengue management), and vector management are all covered on this page (including biological control). The study's main findings include the recently introduced Caripill tablets and the Dengvaxia immunisation. Caripill tablet has been shown to increase platelet count, which is a big accomplishment. This article will provide a roadmap for clinicians and other healthcare professionals. It will aid in raising public knowledge about dengue. More research on dengue fever is needed.
