CAVITE FEVER Meaning and Definition

1. Cavite Fever is a term used to describe a medical condition called dengue fever, which is a viral illness transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. This condition is prevalent in the province of Cavite located in the Philippines, thus the term "Cavite Fever" is often used colloquially to refer to dengue fever cases occurring specifically in this region.

   Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family. The primary vector mosquitoes responsible for the transmission of this virus are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Symptoms of Cavite Fever typically include sudden onset of high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, vomiting, and in severe cases, it can lead to hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome, which can be life-threatening.

   Prevention of Cavite Fever mainly involves controlling mosquito populations by eliminating breeding sites, using insect repellents, and wearing protective clothing. There is no specific treatment available for dengue fever, and medical management primarily focuses on relieving symptoms and providing supportive care.

   Cavite Fever is a significant public health concern in Cavite and other parts of the world where dengue fever is endemic. Efforts are continuously made to raise awareness, facilitate early detection, and implement effective control measures to minimize the impact of this disease on the affected population.
