Precautions for people who've already had dengue

Precautions for people who've already had dengue

If you are returning to a dengue area after already having had dengue, you're at greater risk.
  • Avoid getting bit
  • Research beforehand a physician, clinic, or hospital which you trust to give you adequate treatment should you develop DHF.
  • If you are in endemic areas as part of a development program and you're far from major medical care (as we are), see if you can include part or all of the elements of a "dengue mini-clinic" in your program (see below) so you can monitor your own or other dengue cases locally.
