Children more likely to be bitten by Aedes mosquito

SINGAPORE: A clinical study by the Singapore General Hospital, Tan Tock Seng
Hospital, National University Hospital and Duke-NUS Graduate School of Medicine
has found that children under the age of 15 are more likely to be bitten by the
Aedes mosquito.
That is because children emit more heat, and mosquitoes are attracted to warmth.
But the resulting symptoms - such as fever, pain and falling platelet count -
are less serious in children compared to adults.
Dr Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious disease physician, said: "When adults get dengue
fever for the first time, it's usually a lot more severe than that of a child.
"So we have created a situation where many adults have not had dengue fever when
they were much younger, and this gives rise to a huge population that can be
infected with dengue fever."
In the past two years, patients over 15 years old made up more than 90 per cent
of dengue cases reported in Singapore.
Their numbers jumped by 17 per cent from 2009 to hit more than 4,945 cases last
year.
As at September 20, there were 4,277 cases of dengue fever reported this year.
There is currently no scientific explanation as to why the symptoms of the
disease are more serious in adults. Researchers are studying the
phenomenon, but say it will take several years to complete the study.
