Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a significant public health burden, rather than a commodity, due to its high mortality rate, significant economic impact, and the strain it places on healthcare systems. While some might perceive it as a medical commodity due to the services involved in treatment, the overall impact of DHF is overwhelmingly negative and detrimental to affected communities.
DHF may not be a diseases burden but its a commodity for all dengue fever that are supposed to progress into DHF if not treated or taken care timely as it increases mortality therefore its a burden in dengue fatality. it can be a risk more than diseases burden as disease burden will include both dengue fever and DHF
Yes, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a significant burden of disease in many tropical and subtropical regions. It causes high morbidity and mortality, especially in children and previously infected individuals. DHF also leads to substantial economic and healthcare costs during outbreaks.
