Dengue fever could be passed on through sex! Medtalks with Dr KK Aggarwal
Dengue fever could be passed on through sex. Scientists have found the virus in the semen of a man, more than a month after he fell ill while travelling in Thailand.
The study is thought to be the first instance of the virus being recorded in the male genitals and suggests dengue fever could be transmitted during sexual intercourse.
The study, published in journal Eurosurveillance, documented the case of an Italian man in his 50s diagnosed with dengue fever after returning from Thailand in January.
DACAB trial study published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that aspirin plus ticagrelor, an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, increased graft patency approximately 1 year following elective coronary artery bypass grafting with saphenous vein grafting to a greater degree than aspirin-only therapy.
