JAKARTA - The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) confirmed that there have been a number of changes to the symptoms of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the survivor's body or someone who has contracted COVID-19.
The Director of Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (P2PM) of the Ministry of Health, Imran Pambudi, said the condition was due to the influence of immunological reactions.
"Indeed, there have been several reports showing changes in dengue symptoms after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is indeed related to changes in the immunological reactions that occurred in a person's body who had been infected with COVID-19," he said, Friday, May 3, as reported by Antara.
According to him, the Ministry of Health received several reports showing changes in symptoms in people with dengue fever after the COVID-19 pandemic, one of which came from Bandung City, West Java.
Local health agencies detected unusually recognized signs of dengue fever in patients, such as no symptoms of red spots and radar which have been a serious sign among dengue sufferers.
Imran said red spots and clothes after being bitten by the Aedes aegypti mosquito were classic symptoms that did not always appear in people with dengue fever in today's endemic era.
In cases of dengue fever, red spots usually appear on the third day and last for the next two to three days. Bintik will decrease on the fourth and fifth days, then disappear on the sixth day.
"The symptoms of red marks on the skin and fire are classic symptoms that arise during platelets less than 100,000 per microsphere," he said.

Other recent symptoms that also mark dengue fever, said Imran, are fever that never subsides, from the previous range of four to 10 days after mosquito bites.
Imran said that dengue diagnostic devices in Indonesia are currently relatively more advanced in accurately detecting dengue fever, one of which is using rapid antigen (NS1).
"So we don't wait for the classic symptoms to appear which sometimes even delay treatment. If there is a high fever accompanied by body pain, we should immediately check ourselves into health facilities to be checked using NS1," he said.
