I was just wondering if you had any info you could share. Chillin' girl dear Chillin', Dengue fever could indeed have been the cause of your symptoms.
Dengue is common in the Caribbean islands, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia.
The virus is related to the yellow-fever virus, another arbovirus which used to cause major epidemics in the southern U. S. as well as in tropical countries. Many viral infections, including the flu, also cause back and muscle pain, but the bone pain seen with dengue fever is unique. Dengue has an incubation period of five to seven days after one is bitten by an infected mosquito. The disease usually begins abruptly with fever and headache, then back pain, muscle pains, and the bone pain. Cold symptoms, weakness, loss of appetite, vomiting, and a rash may also follow.
