The Use of Carica Papaya Extract Against Dengue

Abstract

Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection and is considered
a global pandemic in low-income countries. The papaya
leaf extract of Carica papaya has therapeutic properties
associated with increasing platelet count, inhibiting viral
replication, decreasing inflammation, and anticancer
aiding in the early recovery of patients. It is also easily
accessible and inexpensive in Southeast Asia. No
adverse events have been reported, and the medicinal
nature of papaya leaf extract makes it an advantageous
tool against the Dengue pandemic.
