At the time of the flood, tetanus bacteria are easily spread due to be carried away by dirt, water-borne trash. If at that time we suffered an open wound, and exposed to dirt or debris carried by the water then it would be easy to infect bacteria in our bodies. Within one or two weeks, the bacteria will invade body tissues, especially the nerves and muscles. Muscle tissue and a damaged nerve would cause seizures during the first three days. The next 10 days will begin to decrease seizure frequency. Not stopping at this phase, seseoran infected with the virus will experience convulsions, muscle tension.

Muscles and joints also attacked by a virus carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, resulting person affected by this disease usually joints will ache (myalgia and arthalagia).

One special characteristic that indicates DHF with other diseases is the appearance of spots are bright red and usually appears at the bottom of the body of some patients infected with this virus. This condition is exacerbated by a combination of acute diarrhea with abdominal d pain, nausea, vomiting and colds.
