In India, the monsoon season arrives in the month of June and lasts till September. It refreshes everyone, but the weather remains humid, and it is ideal for germs to flourish and a perfect breeding time for mosquitoes. Deadly diseases like Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Typhoid and Cholera are common diseases during the rainy season<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3943129\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>, and almost all of these present with a few common symptoms like fever, weakness, and body ache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_Monsoon_Diseases_That_Cause_Fever\"><\/span><strong>List of Monsoon Diseases That Cause Fever<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Dengue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year in India, many people die due to dengue. There are 121824 dengue cases reported in\u00a02025<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/ncvbdc.mohfw.gov.in\/index4.php?lang=1&amp;level=0&amp;linkid=431&amp;lid=3715\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It is spread by the infected female Aedes mosquitoes, and they usually bite during the daytime or before dusk. The symptoms of this disease include high fever followed by body aches. The affected individual may also experience headaches, abdominal pain, pain behind the eyes, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, rashes,\u00a0 bleeding gums or nose<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldmosquitoprogram.org\/es\/node\/80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><\/sup>. In severe cases, there may be less urination, breathlessness, and low blood pressure in the patients. There is a risk of a drop in platelet count during dengue, which can prove fatal if not addressed in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Chikungunya<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular disease in the rainy season is also spread by mosquitoes. These mosquitoes that spread chikungunya breed in stagnant water found in overhead tanks, coolers, plants, and water pipes. This infectious disease is primarily transmitted by infected tiger mosquitoes, Aedes. A chikungunya patient may experience symptoms like acute joint pain, high fever, fatigue, muscle pain, rashes, and chills<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5530543\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a>. It can cause complications affecting the eyes, heart, liver, kidneys, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Malaria<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This disease in the monsoon is caused by mosquitoes as well. Malaria is a parasitic disease transmitted through the bites of infected female <em>Anopheles<\/em> mosquitoes<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK551711\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0 Water clogging during the rainy season can be a major breeding ground for mosquitoes. Common symptoms of malaria are high fever, shivering and body chills, excess sweating, fatigue, and body aches. If left untreated, the disease may progress to severe malaria and lead to complications such as severe anaemia, cerebral malaria, seizures, kidney failure, jaundice, and respiratory distress<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK551711\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a><\/sup>. It is important to address these symptoms and get proper treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Also Read:<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/blog\/types-of-malaria-symptoms-causes-and-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em> Malaria: Types, Symptoms, Causes and Treatment<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Typhoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the highly infectious monsoon-related diseases.\u201dTyphoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi.\u201d It is caused by contaminated food and water, and the individual can present with symptoms including prolonged high fever, weakness, abdominal pain<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/typhoid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/a>, reduced appetite, diarrhea, constipation, and others.

Cholera<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It can spread through the consumption of contaminated food or water and is more common during the monsoon season.<br>The symptoms of cholera may include sudden onset of profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, muscle cramps, and weakness. In severe cases, rapid loss of body fluids can lead to low blood pressure, shock, and even death if treatment is not provided promptly.<\/p><div id=\"sfa_container_160872\" class=\"sfa_container\" style=\"display:none\"><div class=\"sfa_overlay\"><\/div><button id=\"sfa_btn_160872\" class=\"sfa_btn\">Show Full Article<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Influenza<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sudden change in weather and fluctuation in temperature can cause<a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/blog\/what-is-influenza-flu-its-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <strong>influenza<\/strong><\/a>. This is a viral infection that can spread from one person to another. Influenza can show symptoms like fever, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, nasal congestion, and dry, persistent cough<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/about\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>7<\/sup><\/a>. The disease can worsen if left untreated. It may cause pneumonia and trigger other chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Leptospirosis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection commonly seen during the monsoon due to exposure to floodwater contaminated with animal urine. The infection can occur when contaminated water or soil comes into contact with cuts or abrasions on the skin, or through the eyes, nose, or mouth. It may cause high fever, severe muscle pain (especially in the calves), headache, red eyes, and vomiting<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/24021-leptospirosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>9<\/sup><\/a>. In severe cases, it may affect the liver and kidneys, leading to jaundice, reduced urine output, and breathlessness. Early medical treatment is important to prevent serious complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gastroenteritis is caused by infection from contaminated food or water, which becomes more common during the rainy season. It can present with symptoms like diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, and weakness<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/gastroenteritis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>10<\/sup><\/a>. Severe cases can lead to dehydration with dizziness, dry mouth, and reduced urine output. Timely fluid replacement and medical care are important, especially for children and elderly people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Conjunctivitis (Eye Flu)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conjunctivitis is a common eye infection during the monsoon caused by viral or bacterial infection and spreads easily through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. It leads to redness of the eyes, watery discharge, itching, irritation, and mild swelling of the eyelids. Some individuals may also feel a gritty sensation or sensitivity to light. Although it is usually self-limiting, worsening symptoms, thick discharge, or blurred vision require medical attention. Maintaining good hand hygiene and avoiding the sharing of towels, handkerchiefs, or eye cosmetics can help prevent the spread of infection<a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/pink-eye-conjunctivitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several other monsoon illnesses that occur during the monsoon season, particularly those associated with contaminated water or food, which may cause symptoms such as diarrhoea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK230695\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>8<\/sup><\/a>.
