Arboviruses are infections transmitted through bites from mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects. Types of arboviruses include West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue fever. Arboviruses can cause serious complications, such as encephalitis (brain swelling and inflammation). Infectious disease physicians help identify arboviruses and ensure you receive the care you need to reduce short- and long-term effects.

Because arboviruses are not caused by bacteria, antibiotics do not help treat these conditions. Physicians work to support you while your body fights the virus.

Treatments

  • Fever Reduction

    Physicians can lower your fever using medicines and other techniques. Lowering fevers can help prevent the long-term effects of a virus, such as hearing loss.

  • Fluid Replacement

    To prevent dehydration, you may receive fluids intravenously (through an IV).

  • Respiratory Support

    You may require respiratory support, such as extra oxygen or mechanical ventilation, to help you breathe while your body fights the infection.

Tests

    Blood tests allow doctors to identify arboviruses and create a personalized treatment plan.
