Dengue hemorrhagic fever (abbreviated as DHF; also known as dengue fever, but usually known simply as dengue fever) is an infection caused by the dengue virus. Several types of mosquitoes transmit (or spread) the dengue virus. Dengue fever is also known as "breakbone fever" or "bonebreak fever" because it can cause sufferers to experience severe pain as if their bone is broken. Some of the symptoms of dengue fever are fever; headache; reddish skin that looks like measles; and muscle and joint pain.
