Dengue Fever
OVERVIEW Dengue fever is an infectious disease carried by mosquitoes and caused by any of four related dengue viruses. This disease used to be called break-bone fever because it sometimes causes severe joint and muscle pain that feels like bones are breaking, hence the name. Health experts have known about dengue fever for more than 200 years. Dengue fever is found mostly during and shortly after the rainy season in tropical and subtropical areas of
  • Africa
  • Southeast Asia and China
  • India
  • Middle East
  • Caribbean and Central and South America
  • Australia and the South and Central Pacific
An epidemic in Hawaii in 2001 is a reminder that many states in the United States are susceptible to dengue epidemics because they harbor the particular types of mosquitoes that transmit it. The World Health Organization estimates 50 to 100 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases reported annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. Many more cases likely go unreported because some doctors do not recognize the disease. During the last part of the 20th century, cases of dengue began increasing in many tropical regions of the world. Epidemics also began occurring more frequently and with more severity. In addition to typical dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome also have increased in many parts of the world.

Fact sheet N°117
Revised April 2002
Dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection which in recent years has become a major international public health concern. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and semi-urban areas. Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), a potentially lethal complication, was first recognized in the 1950s during the dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand, but today DHF affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalisation and death among children in several of them. There are four distinct, but closely related, viruses that cause dengue. Recovery from infection by one provides lifelong immunity against that serotype but confers only partial and transient protection against subsequent infection by the other three. There is good evidence that sequential infection increases the risk of more serious disease resulting in DHF. Prevalence The global prevalence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades. The disease is now endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, South-east Asia and the Western Pacific. South-east Asia and the Western Pacific are most seriously affected. Before 1970 only nine countries had experienced DHF epidemics, a number that had increased more than four-fold by 1995.

Hong Kong reports first-ever dengue fever case
The mosquito-borne infection is prevalent in areas near standing water Story Tools
HONG KONG, China Hong Kong has reported its first locally-contracted case of dengue fever, prompting authorities to step up efforts to control the mosquito-borne disease. A 21-year-old construction worker was stricken with dengue fever and hospitalized last week, and is currently in a stable condition, the territory's department of health said over the weekend. It did not give his name. The man was working on a construction site on Ma Wan island, off Hong Kong's New Territories and near Lantau Island, and had not traveled abroad during the disease's incubation period. Preliminary blood tests showed that two of his colleagues had the disease early in the month but had recovered. Other workers have been put under medical surveillance. The government has fumigated Ma Wan and urged any people working at or living near the building site and suffering from symptoms such as high fever, headaches, rashes, cramps and severe back and muscle pains to call hotlines they have set up.

Indonesia battles dengue fever
From CNN Producer Kathy Quiano
Story Tools JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) Indonesia is battling an early outbreak of dengue fever with health officials reporting 189 deaths so far this year. The country has about 9,500 cases of the disease, which does not usually spread until later in the year. Fumigation has begun around the country to kill the mosquitoes that carry the disease, Dr. Umar Fahmi Achmadi, Director General for Contagious Disease Control and Environmental Sanitation, said. Achmadi has requested additional government funding to pay for the effort. Because of the early outbreak of the disease, Achmadi said tests are being run to determine if this is a new subtype. In 2003, the country had about 50,000 cases of the illness.

Dengue Fever
What is dengue fever?
Dengue fever is a disease caused by a virus spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, uncommon in Wisconsin. The disease is common in most tropical and subtropical areas (including some islands in the Caribbean, Mexico, most countries of South and Central America, the Pacific, Asia and parts of tropical Africa). Cases originating in the United States are virtually unknown, but occasionally residents from or visitors to countries where dengue fever occurs may arrive in this country and develop dengue fever. Who gets dengue fever? Dengue fever may occur in people of all ages. Children usually have a milder disease than adults. How is dengue fever spread? Dengue fever is spread by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It cannot be spread from one person to another.

Dengue
Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that spreads
Dengue fever. © 1995 L. E. Munstermann.
  • Dengue occurs in most tropical areas of the world. Most U.S. cases occur in travelers returning from abroad, but the Dengue risk is increasing for persons living along the Texas-Mexico border and in other parts of the southern United States. There is no specific treatment for Dengue. Prevention centers on avoiding mosquito bites in areas where Dengue occurs or might occur and eliminating breeding sites.
What is Dengue fever? What is Dengue hemorrhagic fever? Dengue fever is a flu-like illness spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe, often fatal, complication of Dengue fever. What is the infectious agent that causes Dengue? Dengue and Dengue hemorrhagic fever are caused by any of the Dengue family of viruses. Infection with one virus does not protect a person against infection with another. How is Dengue spread?
