Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 3 only
Dengue is caused by a dengue virus (Flavivirus), not a protozoan, so statement 1 is wrong. Retro-orbital (behind-the-eye) pain is one of the classic clinical features of dengue fever, so statement 2 is also wrong. Skin rashes and bleeding manifestations such as epistaxis and gum bleeding do occur, making statement 3 correct. Hence only statement 3 is correct.
