    Is that the one that makes you extremely sleepy for a long time?

      Main symptoms are joint pain, pain behind the eyes, weakness (I felt couldn’t hold myself up out of bed for more than 15min), and more dangerously a large drop in the number of blood platelets (mine got to half the healthy expected minimum), for some people it becomes hemorrhagic.

        Are donated platelets part of the treatment for dengue?

          I think for the extreme cases when it becomes hemorrhagic.

          Thankfully, it’s uncommon. But it’s more likely if one has gotten it before.
