• 1. Bruising can be a sign of bleeding inside the body. Symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever are headache, fever, and rash, small red or purple blisters under skin, bleeding in nose, gums, and black stool. This type of fever can be life threatening and in worse case scenario can progress in to severe form of illness dengue shock syndrome.

• 1. After few days the temperature of the body drops followed by signs of circulatory failure and the patient may rapidly go into a critical state of shock and die within 12 to 24 hours, or quickly recover with appropriate medical treatment.
