DENGUE FEVER Know before you go! Disease profile Transmission Geographic distribution ... Travel Health Advisories Disease Information Dengue Fever UPDATED: APRIL, 2002 Know before you go! Infectious diseases not necessarily common in Canada can occur and may even be widespread in other countries. Standards of hygiene and medical care may differ from those at home. Before departure, you should learn about the health conditions in the country or countries you plan to visit, your own risk of disease and the steps you can take to prevent illness. The risk is yours Your risk of acquiring a disease depends on several factors. They include: your age, gender, immunization status and current state of health; your itinerary, duration and style of travel (e.g., first class, adventure) and anticipated travel activities (e.g., animal contact, exposure to fresh water, sexual contact); as well as the local disease situation. Risk assessment consultation Health Canada strongly recommends that your travel plans include contacting a travel medicine clinic or physician 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Based on your individual risk assessment, a health care professional can determine your need for immunizations and/or preventive medication (prophylaxis) and advise you on precautions to avoid disease. We can help you locate a travel medicine clinic closest to your home.

April 2005 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.

Travel Health Advisory Dengue Fever in Hawaii Health Canada is monitoring dengue fever activity in Hawaii. Dengue fever (DF) is an acute viral illness of varying severity and is spread by the bite of an infected day-biting mosquito. It commonly occurs in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. From June 10, 2001 to April 5, 2002, the total number of confirmed cases of DF is 119, with 89 cases on Maui, 4 cases on Kauai and 26 cases on Oahu. In response, the state of Hawaii has implemented measures to eliminate mosquito-breeding places in populated areas. The last documented case of domestically transmitted DF in Hawaii occurred 50 years ago. Hawaii's Department of Health has reported that the original source of this outbreak was likely an undetected case in a visitor or returning resident from an area where dengue commonly occurs (i.e., is endemic). Source: Hawaii Department of Health Recommendations Health Canada reminds travellers that DF is common in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Travellers to areas where DF occurs are encouraged to use personal insect precautions at all times while outside to avoid being bitten. For Health Canada recommendations about the prevention of DF, visit our

46. Dengue dengue fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, and Dengue Shock Syndrome dengue fever has been recognized for at least several hundred years since Benjamin http://home.coqui.net/myrna/dengue.htm

Dengue Fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, and Dengue Shock Syndrome SUSCEPTIBILITY AND RESISTANCE Susceptibility is universal, but children generally have milder illness than adults. All four dengue serotypes produce clinically identical disease, and all can produce DHF and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) in decreasing order of frequency: serotypes 2, 3, 4, and 1. Individuals infected with one strain maintain lifelong homotypic immunity while remaining susceptible to infections with other heterotypic strains. Interestingly, DHF/DSS is more likely to develop if an individual previously infected with one serotype is later inoculated with a different viral strain. DHF and DSS usually occur as a second dengue infection in children and in infants born to dengue-immune mothers. Repeated episodes of DHS/DSS have not been described in the same individual. CLINICAL FEATURES DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER AND DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME Clinical criteria for DHF and DSS are shown on the Table on the previous page and include hemoconcentration (Hct > 20% of baseline), thrombocytopenia, and circulatory collapse, often associated with severe end-organ dysfunction. DHF and DSS are recognized primarily in children; in tropical Asia, DSS is observed almost exclusively among indigenous children 15 years of age and younger. Ilness is often biphasic, beginning abruptly with fever, malaise, headache, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, cough, and facial flushing. Severe bone and limb pain are often absent. Coincident with defervescence, the patient’s condition worsens with profound weakness and prostration, diaphoresis, restlessness, facial pallor and circumoral cyanosis, cool and clammy extremities, rapid but thready pulse, and a narrow pulse pressure (

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a virus that is transmitted by mosquitos. It is an acute illness of sudden onset that usually follows a benign course with headache, fever, prostration, severe joint and muscle pain, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and rash . The presence (the "dengue triad") of fever, rash, and headache (and other pains) is particularly characteristic of dengue. Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) is now reaching the peak of a roughly five-year cycle. It strikes people with low levels of immunity. An attack of dengue produces immunity for a year or more. Once this outbreak ebbs, more people will be resistant to the viral disease and the cycle will begin again. Dengue goes by other names including breakbone or dandy fever. Victims of dengue often have contortions due to the intense joint and muscle pain. Hence, the name "breakbone fever." Slaves in the West Indies who contracted dengue were said to have "dandy fever" because of their postures and gait.

(Yangon) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Tropical Health Program , The University of Queensland. March 1994 ABSTRACT A prospective epidemiological study of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was undertaken in two townships in Yangon between 1984 and 1988. The aim of the study was to determine - (a) whether the incidence of anamnestic dengue virus infection was higher among dengue shock syndrome (DSS) patients than in the general community, (b) whether DSS was commonly associated with infection with any particular dengue serotype and whether DSS was associated with infection with any particular sequence of dengue serotype. The epidemiological investigations were accompanied by assessment of changes in levels of selected blood proteins (ant-dengue IgG 1-4; complement proteins C3, C3a, C4 Factor B, factor H, factor I; C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor -à) in dengue patients with disease of varying severity during the course of their disease. Seroepidemiological surveys in the study areas enabled primary and anamnestic dengue transmission rates, as well as transmission patterns of individual dengue serotypes, to be calculated. Patients from the study areas that attended Yangon Children's Hospital were studied clinically, serologically and virologically to grade severity of disease, to identify primary and anamnestic dengue infections and to identify the virus serotypes associated with DSS.

Dengue fever Dengue fever is a viral infection that typically causes flu-like symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, joint pains, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, often followed by a rash. Most cases are mild and resolve uneventfully in a few days. However, dengue sometimes causes excessive bleeding (dengue hemorrhagic fever) or a dangerous fall in blood pressure (dengue shock syndrome) that may be fatal. The available evidence indicates that that children under age 15 experiencing a second dengue infection are at greatest risk for severe disease, which implies that adult travelers who have never been exposed to dengue are unlikely to develop these complications. Dengue is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite preferentially during the daytime, especially in the morning and late afternoon (in contrast to Anopheles mosquitoes, the vectors of malaria, which are most active after sundown). Aedes mosquitoes are usually found close to human habitations, often indoors. They breed primarily in man-made water containers, such as jars, barrels, cans, cisterns, metal drums, plastic containers, and discarded tires. As a result, dengue is especially common in densely populated, urban environments, though it occurs in rural areas as well. The disease has been spreading in recent years, due in part to increasing urbanization, and is now endemic in more than one hundred tropical and subtropical countries (see the dengue fever world map produced by the CDC). In the United States, most cases occur in travelers who have returned from the

It is caused by a bite from mosquitoes carrying dengue virus. The primary form of Dengue Fever is characterized by a skin rash and a high fever with severe pain in the head and muscles. Other symptoms may include shaking chills, diarrhea, and vomiting. Bouts of extreme exhaustion may last for months after the initial symptoms. The secondary forms of this disorder are called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome. These usually are caused by a secondary infection with a different type of Dengue virus (Type 2), but may also be caused by the same virus that causes Dengue Fever. Several days after onset other symptoms may include fever, bleeding under the skin, red spots on the legs, and bleeding into the intestines. A marked fall in blood pressure (shock) occurs in very severe cases.
