Overview
Dengue Fever
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted mainly through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is common in tropical and subtropical regions and is more frequently reported during periods favorable to mosquito breeding. Many infections cause no symptoms or produce a short illness with fever, headache, nausea, rash, and muscle or joint pain. A smaller proportion of infections can progress to severe dengue, which may cause bleeding, shock, and other serious complications.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks together with persistent concern about having additional attacks or significant changes in behavior related to them. A panic attack can cause sudden intense fear accompanied by symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest discomfort, or a feeling of losing control. The condition can interfere with daily activities and social functioning.

Diagnosis
Dengue Fever
Dengue is diagnosed using the medical history, symptoms, physical examination, and laboratory testing. Blood tests can detect evidence of dengue infection and may be selected according to the stage of illness. Testing may include molecular tests such as polymerase chain reaction, antibody testing, and other laboratory investigations. A complete blood count and liver-related tests may also help healthcare professionals assess the illness and identify possible complications.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is diagnosed through a clinical assessment of recurrent panic attacks, persistent concern about further attacks, behavioral changes, and their effect on daily life. The clinician also considers whether symptoms are better explained by another mental health condition, medication, substance, or medical disorder. Physical symptoms such as chest pain, faintness, or breathing difficulty may require appropriate medical evaluation before being attributed to panic.
Prevention
Dengue Fever
Preventing mosquito bites is an important way to reduce the risk of dengue. Measures include using appropriate insect repellent, wearing clothing that covers the arms and legs, using window screens or other barriers, and sleeping under mosquito nets when appropriate. Reducing standing water around homes can limit mosquito breeding sites. People traveling to areas where dengue occurs should learn about local transmission and take practical precautions throughout their stay.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder cannot always be prevented, but recognizing and addressing persistent anxiety or severe stress may help reduce the impact of symptoms. Regular sleep, physical activity, stress-management strategies, and limiting excessive caffeine or stimulant use may be useful. People experiencing recurrent panic attacks should seek professional assessment so that contributing medical, psychological, or substance-related factors can be identified and addressed.
Risk Factors
Dengue Fever
Living in or traveling to areas where dengue transmission occurs increases the likelihood of infection because infected mosquitoes may be present. Exposure to mosquito bites is the main risk factor. A previous dengue infection can increase the risk of severe dengue during a later infection. Infants, pregnancy, and certain other circumstances may also increase concern for severe disease. Mosquito exposure is particularly important in warm and wet environments where transmission is common.
Panic Disorder
Risk may be increased by a family history of panic disorder or other anxiety conditions, major life stress, traumatic experiences, and prolonged psychological strain. Other anxiety disorders, depression, or substance use may coexist with panic symptoms. Caffeine and other stimulants can worsen symptoms in susceptible individuals. Certain medical conditions can produce similar physical sensations, so recurrent unexplained attacks should be medically assessed.
