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, and Typhoid are common diseases during the rainy season<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3943129\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup>, 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.<\/strong> <strong>Dengue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year in India, many people die due to dengue. There are 1,64,103 dengue cases reported in 2021<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/Pressreleaseshare.aspx?PRID=1777639%C2%AE=3&amp;lang=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It is spread by the female Aedes mosquitoes<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldmosquitoprogram.org\/es\/node\/80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><\/sup> 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 excessive sweating and headaches, pain behind the eyes, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, rashes, mild bleeding, and low blood pressure3. In severe cases, there may be less urination and breathlessness 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Chikungunya<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular disease in the rainy season is also spread by mosquitoes. These mosquitoes are usually found in overhead tanks, coolers, plants, and water pipes. This infectious disease is also carried by the tiger mosquito, Aedes. A chikungunya patient experiences symptoms like acute joint pain, high fever, fatigue, and body chills<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5530543\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Certain complications of the disease include inflammation of the retina, heart muscle, liver, kidneys, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Malaria<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This disease in the monsoon is caused by mosquitoes as well. Water clogging during the rainy season is a major breeding ground for mosquitoes. The symptoms of this disease are high fever, shivering and body chills, excess sweating, and severe anaemia<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/c\/6a0427ed-4784-8322-b317-c9756ca79abc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5<\/a><\/sup>. It is important to address these symptoms and get proper treatment. Otherwise, it may cause health complications like cerebral malaria, which leads to death among malaria patients, seizures, renal failure, jaundice, and respiratory disorders may also occur.<\/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<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmeasy.in\/blog\/types-of-malaria-symptoms-causes-and-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Malaria: Types, Symptoms, Causes and Treatment<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Typhoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the highly infectious<strong> <\/strong>monsoon-related diseases.

The disease can worsen if left untreated.
