I was over 60 and got dengue fever nearly copped it.

 

Anti biotics and blood transfusion got me through it, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

 

Doc says I'm immuned from the worse of the 4 strains but could still get one of the lesser ones, which could be still serious.

Not why we give antibiotics in this situation. It's to protect from hospital aquired infection and to make sure his immune system Only has the virus to deal with
