Dengue is a disease which spreads by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Reading about a disease in a textbook and experiencing it as a patient is a completely different thing. This article highlights the feeling of a medical student as a patient. It provides the reader with an idea of how Basic Science knowledge can be used for rational decision-making. Self- prescription of medication without consulting a doctor can be more harmful in many circumstances. We also need to be aware of the warning signs of Dengue virus infection.

登革热是一种由受感染的伊蚊叮咬传播的疾病。在课本上读到一种疾病和作为患者亲身经历它完全是两回事。本文强调了作为一名医学生患者的感受。它为读者提供了一个如何将基础科学知识用于合理决策的思路。在许多情况下，未经咨询医生而自行配药可能会更有害。我们还需要意识到登革热病毒感染的警告信号。
