January 18, 201610 yr Sad that in this day and age of modern medicine etc that a life is lost to a Mosquito! POPULAR Thai TV star Thrisadee Por Sahawong passed away this morning from complications related to dengue fever after spending more than two months in a coma. https://asiancorrespondent.com/2016/01/popular-thai-actor-por-thridsadee-37-dies-of-dengue-fever/
January 18, 201610 yr Tv actor/personality. Sad that in this day and age of modern medicine etc that a life is lost to a Mosquito! https://asiancorrespondent.com/2016/01/popular-thai-actor-por-thridsadee-37-dies-of-dengue-fever/ Indeed sadly it shows how little my knowledge of Thai celebrities is,probably because I'm still watching re runs of dads army and only fools and horses. RIP Por.
January 18, 201610 yr Typical, good people always go young. He was one on the nicer Thai celebs. Sad to hear this.
January 18, 201610 yr Very popular Buriram boy and good Thai actor. Far too young and taken by something that should be preventable. R.I.P.
January 18, 201610 yr After careful thought,it is sad but what's even more sadder is the fact that the nation mourns a superstar who has died due to dengue fever while countless other folk go unnoticed. I hope this sad event may bring the issue to light for those running the show,although I feel that may be highly unlikely. It just goes to show that an event such as this may just educate the uneducated folk.

They might not be as pro-active about it as they should but it will probably prevent many more cases that would have otherwise happened. Because let's face it, right now they do absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of Dengue. Just doing anything to reduce the risk is a start. A famous person dying from Dengue is the most education the whole of Thailand has ever had on the subject so let's hope his death makes somewhat of a positive change.
January 18, 201610 yr Can someone explain what happened to him exactly ? Should we really avoid any mosquito bite ? Thank you.
January 18, 201610 yr Lets be honest he was a rubbish actor as were the lakorns he appeared in, just another pretty face. However, he was very popular and to die so young after a long battle that included amputation is tragic. Lets hope it results in more action against mosquitoes.
January 18, 201610 yr Dengue fever.... Had a friend that got it from the PI....But symptoms started after she landed in the US.... Even in the US at one of the better Bay Area hospitals they cannot arrest it → only treat the attacked organs as the constant tests dictate as needed/affected..... Not something to be underestimated... She survived but it took years for the organs to recover.....Some organs that are attacked cannot recover.... Edited January 18, 201610 yr by pgrahmm
January 18, 201610 yr Can someone explain what happened to him exactly ? Should we really avoid any mosquito bite ? Thank you. In rare cases, Dengue fever can lead to life threatening complications, which is why people who have it are hospitalised and placed under observation. And yes, we really should avoid mosquito bites, by using repellent and sleeping under a mosquito net if they can get into your room. If you are unlucky, they can infect you with Dengue or malaria. The mosquitos that carry Dengue are active during the day.
January 18, 201610 yr Here Dengue fever once more commonly known as and still known as breakbone fever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_fever

I'm not sure that it can be stopped. Last i heard it was breaking out in europe with cases reported in germany, switzerland etc.
January 18, 201610 yr Can someone explain what happened to him exactly ? Should we really avoid any mosquito bite ? Thank you. I'm not an expert on Dengue but avoiding mosquito bites is the most difficult way to prevent the disease. The easiest way is to drain or remove places where water collects so that mosquitos cannot breed there.
September 20, 20169 yr This story is so terrible, at least when someone die we should be smarter an protect us. Can someone explain me how can this happen ? Why most people get dengue and have no symptoms ? Thanks.

My Thai neighbor is the head doctor of the regional communicable diseases office for one region of the North. He says that dengue fever is very difficult to totally understand, there has been progress towards finding a cure but more work and testing still needed. He also mentions it took global research many decades to make any progress on malaria but now closer to a final medicine to then be tested for side effects etc.

He says that dengue fever is very difficult to totally understand, it can be deadly or leave lingering sickness and disabilities, there has been progress towards finding a cure but more work and testing still needed. He advises if you think you or a family member might have dengue then quickly insist on specific testing. If doctor / hospital not cooperative or slow move quickly to another hospital.
