Which of the following is not a symptom of dengue fever?

Correct option is B

Sol. Dengue fever is characterized by high fever (typically 102–105°F), severe body aches, and flu-like symptoms. The fever in dengue is usually high and persistent, not mild. Other symptoms include severe joint and muscle pain, retro-orbital (eye) pain, skin rash, and fatigue.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) High fever – A primary symptom of dengue. It often starts suddenly and lasts for 2-7 days, accompanied by headaches and chills.
· (b) Mild fever – Correct answer. Dengue does not typically present with mild fever. Instead, it causes high fever that can be accompanied by dehydration and weakness.
· (c) Eye pain – A common symptom. Dengue patients often experience retro-orbital (behind-the-eyes) pain, which worsens with eye movement.
· (d) Joint pain – A major symptom, leading to the term "breakbone fever." Severe pain in joints and muscles is a hallmark sign of dengue.
