Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland becomes overactive and secretes excessive amounts of the hormone thyroxine. The thyroid is a small, somewhat butterfly-shaped structure located at the base of the neck. The hormone it produces, thyroxine, is converted in the liver into another hormone, tri-iodothuronine, which regulates metabolism. If the thyroid produces too much thyroxine, this ultimately throws the baby's metabolic processes into overdrive and speeds up many of the functions of the body. by peter hutch

It is caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus.

The infectious disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of mosquitoes, most commonly Aedes aegypti.

Severe cases may cause permanent hair loss and scarring, and even mild folliculitis can be uncomfortable and embarrassing.
