Yes, in a small number of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
yes infact it may cause death

Answer 2

The answer, unfortunately, is possible.

There are four types of dengue virus. If a person is infected by any one of those four types, though it is not entirely impossible to die from it, it very rarely happens. It can even act like a vaccine, providing some immunity from the same type of virus to the infected person.

However, if the same person (already infected by one of the four types some times before) gets infected from a different type, - any other of the remaining three, -dengue fever could develop into a more severe form, - earlier known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, presently called as Severe Dengue Fever.

That severe form could be fatal.

There is neither vaccination nor specific treatment against either Dengue Fever or its more dangerous form, the Severe Dengue Fever. However, prompt medical care could often save life even in the case of the severe form. Since Severe Dengue Fever patients are loosing serious amounts of body fluids, - including blood -, the most vital treatment is keeping the fluid level to optimal, thus diminishing the complications which could have lead to death.

The Zika virus usually produces symptoms so mild that many people don't even realize they are infected. It seldom puts anyone in the hospital, much less kills them; a few people die from Zika, but deaths are very rare.

The deadly part of the virus comes from the effects on babies born to women infected with the virus during while pregnant with the baby. The virus causes microcephaly in the baby, which can cause life threatening problems such as seizures and difficulty swallowing, although mostly microcephaly results in serious mental disability, problems with motion and balance, blindness and deafness.
