I can't access that link (404 error) but I wonder if it might be a translation error, sometimes Dengue is known as "break bone fever", not because you actually break bones but it feels as if you do (muscle/joint/bone pain). Those symptoms sound pretty similar to Dengue (or Chikungunya) to me anyway.
