Dengue - decrease in medical fitness

I would be grateful if someone could share any experience, second or third hand even, which steps are to be followed after hospitalization with dengue fever onset. Main concern being state of recovery when return to flying duties is possible.

Very little research I had done here: All you need to know about Dengue fever - Rediff.com India News

It seems to me the beast is not so uncommon.
