Hemorrhagic Fever

Hemorrhagic fever refers to a group of illnesses caused by certain viruses that can lead to severe symptoms, including fever, bleeding, and organ failure. These diseases, such as Ebola and dengue fever, often arise in tropical regions and can be transmitted through bites from infected animals or humans. The name comes from the bleeding (hemorrhage) that can occur due to damage to blood vessels. While some forms can be fatal, medical advances have improved care and response strategies. Prevention focuses on reducing exposure to the viruses and controlling outbreaks.
