Entering September, although there is a typhoon, the weather is still hot, and it is still the season of mosquitoes. If you are bitten by mosquitoes, don’t ignore it, so as not to cause irreparable regrets. Previously, a man surnamed Zhang was fishing in the mainland. The leg was bitten by mosquitoes for more than 10 bags. Unexpectedly, the leg was swollen and had a high fever. He was diagnosed with sepsis and was rushed to the intensive care unit. Fortunately, his life was saved. Unexpectedly, in the Philippines, a 9-year-old boy from Australia was infected with dengue fever due to mosquito bites when he and his family were on vacation there. As a result, he developed dengue shock syndrome and finally died of organ failure.

According to comprehensive Australian media reports, Glenn Pulgadas, a 9-year-old boy from the small town of Harvey in Western Australia, went to the Philippines to visit relatives with his parents Glenn and Ryza a while ago, but on August 12 After being bitten by mosquitoes, I suddenly felt unwell all over my body and sought medical attention.

Purgadas’ physical condition worsened over the next two weeks, with symptoms including high fever, headache, abdominal pain, nosebleeds and vomiting. Doctors confirmed that he suffered from dengue shock syndrome, the so-called dengue fever. It is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Vomiting, etc., if you have abdominal pain or squeezing pain and persistent vomiting, difficulty breathing, nosebleed or bleeding gums, lethargy or restlessness 3 to 5 days following the onset of warning symptoms, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

The mortality rate of patients with dengue shock syndrome is as high as 44%. This is a problem that people in dengue fever-endemic areas have to pay attention to. Purgadas, who is studying in the third grade of primary school in Australia, was originally a caring and smart child with a lively personality. He always had a smile on his face, but he died on August 25 due to organ failure during his stay in the intensive care unit.
