Dengue fever is caused by a RNA virus and is transmitted through the bite of infected female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Over the past few years an alarming rise has been seen in the cases of dengue virus owing to multiple reasons. Oral manifestations although are rare in cases of dengue, but when present can be helpful in its initial diagnosis. The most common intra-oral symptom of dengue infection is gingival bleeding which is commonly seen in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The management of dengue fever includes using paracetamol for reducing fever and avoiding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
