Karnataka: Doctors warn not to ignore fever, even if dengue tests negative

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: With rising dengue cases, doctors in the city have warned the public not to neglect fever and other symptoms, even if the dengue test comes negative. In addition to dengue, doctors have also noted a surge in infections like chikungunya, water-borne illnesses like Hepatitis A, and respiratory illnesses like RSV, H1N1, and seasonal influenza, all of which exhibit dengue-like symptoms. Experts highlighted that, while many people must be facing dengue like symptoms, the timing of the test and the right kind of test are important to know the exact cause and type of infection. However, if a person with febrile illness and symptoms similar to dengue tests negative, it may indicate other viral infections such as chikungunya or Zika,” she added.
