Well, in my on words...

The last one is the complication or severe type of the former.

Dengue Fever
> fever
> muscle/joint pain
> rashes similar to measles
> laboratory results shows low platelet count

Treatment
> Treat the fever
> IV fluids and oral fluids
> Optional blood transfusion of platelet

Dengue Hemorragic fever
> fever ( body temperature may go down later if not treated soon)
> muscle/joint pain
> rashes are so severe.
> lowering blood pressure. ALERT!!!
> extremely low platelet count
> blood on stools and bleeding (nose, ears?)

Treatment
> Treat fever
> Blood transfusion (depends on the doctor. Pack RBC or platelet) and IV fluids

...thats what I think...bold ones are indicative of the worst scenario
...feel to correct me if I'm wrong...
