MalaCards based summary: Dengue Disease, also known as dengue fever, is related to malaria and pancreatitis, and has symptoms including fever, severe headache and severe pain behind the eyes. An important gene associated with Dengue Disease is CD209 (CD209 molecule), and among its related pathways are Immune response MIF mediated glucocorticoid regulation and LDL Oxidation in Atherogenesis. The compounds polymyxin b and sodium cromoglycate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, bone and skin, and related mouse phenotypes are integument and immune system.

Disease Ontology:⁹ A viral infectious disease that results in infection, has material basis in dengue virus [ncbitaxon:12637] with four serotypes (dengue virus 1, 2, 3 and 4), which are transmitted by aedes mosquito bite. the infection has symptom fever, has symptom severe headache, has symptom severe pain behind the eyes, has symptom joint pain, has symptom muscle and bone pain, has symptom rash, and has symptom mild bleeding.

CDC:⁴ With more than one-third of the world’s population living in areas at risk for infection, dengue virus is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics. As many as 400 million people are infected yearly. Dengue is caused by any one of four related viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not yet any vaccines to prevent infection with dengue virus and the most effective protective measures are those that avoid mosquito bites. When infected, early recognition and prompt supportive treatment can substantially lower the risk of medical complications and death.
