Cause
Scarlet fever

• Dengue fever caused by dengue virus, which is why this disease is also called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is shortened to DHF. There are 4 types of Dengue virus, which is why in some cases of dengue fever patients who show symptoms of a different one with another dengue fever sufferers. The disease is transmitted from one patient to another patient through the aedes aegypti mosquito. These mosquitoes usually bite during the daytime. The mosquito that sucks blood from DHF patients and healthy bite other people who make a virus that is moving to a healthy person and would cause the person is suffering from Dengue Fever.

Typhus

• Typhus is caused by bacteria called Salmonella typhi. These bacteria exist in the fast growing in dirty places. The spread of these bacteria aided by insect-bacteria-carrying insects such as flies or other insects. These bacteria can exist in food or drink and will go into the body of people who consume them. That causes a person can get typhoid fever.

• Dengue virus causes bleeding in the organs of sufferers. Red spots usuallyappear on the patient showed bleeding in his body. If it is severe, bleedingmay occur in vital organs that can cause death.

Typhus

• Typhoid bacteria attack the intestine, causing injury to the intestine.Furthermore, we will attack the liver, spleen and gall bladder.

Symptoms 

Scarlet fever 

In patients with dengue fever, symptoms commonly encountered are: 

• High heat, usually> 38 degrees Celsius. 
• Body aches or muscle aches, headache, chills, a waste water or vomiting.
• Spots appeared red. These symptoms may not appear if only brieflyexperienced fever. I view these red spots with a tourniquet test is to clamp theblood vessels much like when you want to check blood pressure. After this stage, usually red spots will appear.
• After the third day, usually fever will go down and the sufferer may feel is cured but after that fever can strike back. At this time you should be careful not to assume that had recovered and did not maintain his health.

Typhus
In patients with typhoid fever, the symptoms are as follows:

• Initially, experienced fever is not too high and the temperature will continue to increase gradually up to> 38 degrees Celsius.
• Especially at night, the temperature will increase and will go down in the morning. This is what differentiates with typhoid fever in dengue fever.
• Abdominal pain and diarrhea.
• Cough and sore throat.

Examination

Scarlet fever

• In patients with dengue fever, the examination is done by checking the number of platelets. If the platelet decline, usually <100.000/ul, someone will be diagnosed with dengue fever. However, if the fever is just one day can not be known because the platelet count is still normal. In cases like this, you cancome back to the doctor to check if the platelet count still have a fever. At amore sophisticated examination, it is known whether the blood containsdengue virus or not. So, if the number of platelets in the blood is still normalbut positive for dengue virus means that you have dengue fever.

Typhus

• To determine if you have typhoid or not, it will be Widal test. Examined in this test is whether the blood contains antibodies against the bacteria Salmonellatyphi. If the results indicate> 1 / 160 means that you are suffering from typhoid fever. Another inspection may be done by checking the patient because offeces in patients with typhoid feces containing the bacteria Salmonella typhi.

Treatment
Scarlet fever

• There is no specific drug to treat dengue fever sufferers because there is novaccine for dengue viruses. Things you can do is to keep the patient does notbecome dehydrated. If the patient can not eat well, have diarrhea or vomiting,it is better patient hospitalized for infusion can be helped with that patientendurance is stronger. In patients with dengue fever there is no dietary restrictions.

Typhus

• For the treatment of typhoid fever, will usually be given antibiotics to killbacteria. To heal the wounds intestine, food eaten should not be working hardin order not to force the ailing gut. Team rice or porridge into food consumed by patients. Avoid acidic and spicy foods.

How to Prevention
Scarlet fever

• As is often echoed, to prevent, especially mecegah aedes aegypti mosquito breeding which is the means of transmission of dengue fever is to do amovement 3 M. The meaning of movement 3 M is the bath drain at least 1week, closing the shelter of water, and bury the used goods unused potentialinto a puddle of rain water.

Typhus

• Meanwhile, to prevent typhoid is to keep the environment clean so thatbacteria can not breed typhoid. Choose foods and drinks that clean for consumption.
