Popular Post rooster59 Posted November 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2019 Dengue ‘can be contracted from infected sexual partner’ By THE NATION Asadang Ruayajin A senior Thai official said it was possible to contract dengue fever through sex after Spanish authorities said a patient, 41, was found to have got the disease from his homosexual partner’s semen. Department of Disease Control deputy governor and spokesman Asadang Ruayajin said on Friday (November 15) that it was possible for dengue to be contracted through sexual intercourse as the virus falls in the same group as Zika. The Spanish man reportedly developed dengue fever despite never visiting any area prone to that disease. Authorities in Madrid said his partner had been infected by the virus during a visit to Cuba. Reports said scientists found out only a year and half ago that the virus could live in semen, after a traveller returning from Thailand was examined. Dengue fever is mainly contracted from the Aedes mosquito. Those infected suffer from high fever, bodyache, and sometimes stomach ache or diarrhoea, symptoms similar to influenza. “However, patients should not buy medicine without a doctor’s prescription as some medicines like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause internal organs to bleed easily,” Asadang added. “Those who suffer from high fever for more than two days must see a doctor,” he said. “Besides, while the fever is decreasing, if there are symptoms like depression, anorexia, stomach ache, restless hands, cold feet, rapid and light pulse, nasal cavity bleeding or vomiting of blood, patients must be sent to a hospital as soon as possible as there could be a risk to their life.” Asadang said to prevent dengue, breeding places of the Aedes mosquito should be eliminated. He said public health volunteers could play a crucial role by encouraging and instructing local people to eliminate breeding places of mosquitoes so as to prevent dengue. “Moreover, the volunteers and concerned persons can survey and evaluate the risk of the disease from the density of Aedes larvae in each area,” said the deputy governor. “In addition, we have developed an online reporting system for their operation, which has already been used in some areas, and will expand to cover all areas of Thailand in the future.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30378392 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2019-11-16 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enoon Posted November 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Headline should read "Homophobic doctor clutching at straws". No consideration given to the possibility that a mossie traveled back with the infected person or that Dengue was already in Europe. Oh look, December 2018: "Dengue fever is a viral infection passed on from a mosquito bite, and affects millions worldwide. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published an assessment of the risk of dengue fever transmission after three cases of dengue were confirmed in Spain and six in France in October 2018" "On 9 October 2018, the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare of Spain reported two confirmed cases of locally-acquired dengue in adult residents of Spain. On 16 October, a third case was confirmed . All three individuals are from the same family and experienced onset of symptoms in late August 2018, after spending time in Murcia region and Cádiz province (Andalucía). There is no history of travel to known dengue risk areas " Andalucia/Murcia.....Southernmost Spain.......a buzz away from Africa with the right wind.

30la Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Now you always blame sex if you want to make news! In Thailand, children between the ages of 11 and 12 have the first sexual experiences, they are not afraid of this news. Get the right sex education in schools, the results will be better! Perhaps Mr. Asadang Ruayajin and his superiors stop having sex now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
