Keywords:
Hummā Danj; Aedes mosquito; Wabā’ī Amrāz; Dengue feverAbstract
Dengue fever (Humma Danj) is an acute febrile illness caused by a flavivirus transmitted by the Aedes mosquito and characterized by sudden onset of high fever, severe muscle and joint pain, headache, lymphadenopathy etc. Currently, no vaccine is available for dengue fever, and disease control and prevention have mainly focused on vector control activities and surveillance that incorporates community participation. Despite vector control programs and heightened public awareness, outbreaks have occurred in several highly urbanized areas in certain areas across the globe. Although no clear description of Dengue fever is available in classical Unani text. But the disease entity is present in classical text under the caption of Humma due to waba and can be diagnosed as well as managed on the principles of Amraze Wabai. This review paper will encompass Unani medicine and conventional medicine view on Humma Danj and its management through Unani Medicine.
