Over 100 Infected With Dengue Fever In Japan

About 103 people have been infected

by Dengue fever in Japan, the first time

there is a domestic outbreak of the

disease in about 70 years according to

government officials.

According to a report by News.com, the

Japanese ministry of health on

Thursday, September 11, 2014 said all

confirmed cases had visited the center

of the out break, Yoyogi Park in central

Tokyo, Japans capital.

A sizable portion of the part has been

closed to visitors as health officials

continue their findings as to the source

of the outbreak while catching

mosquitoes which carry the virus.

The fever which is more common in less

developed tropical regions, causes a flu-

like symptoms including head aches,

fever and joint pains. Although there

are no specific drugs, proper medical

attention can reduce the death rate to

under 1% according to the World Health

Organisation (WHO).
