ABSTRACT

Dengue is the most important mosquito borne viral infection in terms of morbidity and mortality. In recent years it has become a major public health concern. Dengue Fever is not described in Ayurvedic classics. So it is an anuktavyadhi. Anuktaliterally means unsaid, unuttered and unheard of. With specific reference to Ayurveda, the entity, which is not directly or specifically mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts, is anukta. When we study the anuktavyadhi, we can understand those vyadhi with the help of rogpariksha. Rogpariksha is done with the help of nidanpanchak. Intention of this topic is to establish the samprapti of Dengue Fever (to study the steps of pathogenesis, from mosquito bite to clinical manifestation).So that specific treatment will be given with this establishedsamprapti. As sampraptibhanga is the main part of the chikitsa.
