Both countries have declared a State of Emergency. Prevention and control measures taken so far have not been sufficient and cases of dengue continue to emerge in urban and suburban areas. Concern has risen in the last few weeks that the epidemic will spread to other countries in Central America. dengue_Epidemic.htm Dengue in El Salvador In recent months the endemic dengue disease has gotten worse in El Salvador, turning into a national priority. In light of this situation, the President has declared a state of emergency caused by Dengue in several departments. Although, the PAHO/WHO Representative Office in El Salvador is helping with these efforts, the resources are limited and necessary. For this reason, the Pan American Health Organization is calling on the international community to cooperate with this event.

It occurs in two forms: Dengue fever (DF) Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) Dengue Fever (DF) is marked by an onset of sudden high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes and pain in the muscles and joints. Aedes Egypti Fig: WHO/TDR Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a more severe form in which bleeding and sometimes shock occurs. This can lead to death. It is most serious in children. Symptoms of bleeding usually occur after 2-3 days of fever. The high fever continues for 5-6 days (103 o F or 39-40 o C). It comes down on the third or fourth day but rises again. The patient feels a lot of discomfort and is very weak after the illness. Recognition of Dengue Fever Sudden onset of high fever Severe headache (mostly in the forehead) Pain behind the eyes which worsens with eye movement Body aches and joints pains Nausea or vomiting.

46. Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever MEDSTUDENTS-INFECTIOUS DISEASES dengue/dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. The highest incidence of dengue is in southeastAsia, India and the American tropics, where A. aegypti can be found. http://www.medstudents.com.br/dip/dip3.htm

INFECTIOUS DISEASES Medstudents' Homepage Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Introduction: Dengue fever is an acute febrile infectious disease, caused by all four serotypes (1, 2, 3 or 4) of a virus from genus Flavivirus, called dengue virus. It’s the most prevalent flavivirus infection of humans, with a worldwide distribution in the tropics and warm areas of the temperate zone corresponding to that of the principal vector, Aedes aegypti. When simultaneous or sequential introduction of two or more serotypes occurs in the same area, there may be an increased number of cases with worse clinical presentation (dengue hemorrhagic fever). The term ‘hemorrhagic’ is imprecise, because what characterizes this form of the disease is not the presence of hemorrhagic manifestations, but the abrupt increase of capillary permeability, with diffuse capillary leakage of plasma, hemoconcentration and, in some cases, with non-hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (dengue shock syndrome). Epidemiology: The highest incidence of dengue is in southeast Asia, India and the American tropics, where A. aegypti can be found. In the 1980s, dengue emerged in explosive epidemics in Rio de Janeiro (1986 - serotype 1 and 1990 - serotype 2 was isolated in Niterói city), São Paulo and in many other towns and cities in Brazil. In areas such as southeast of Asia, where all four dengue virus types are hyperendemic, children are almost exclusively affected, and seroprevalence approaches 100% by young adulthood. Transmission occurs by the bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes - the same vector of urban yellow fever - a day-active species with low fly-autonomy that is abundant in and around human habitations. In Brazil and other countries Aedes albopictus may also be responsible for transmission. Viremic humans (till the fifth day of disease) serve as the source of virus for mosquito infection; there is not person-to-person transmission. Movement of viremic humans provides the principal means of spread, and rapid air travel is a factor in most recent epidemic emergences.

Dengue Fever WHAT IS DENGUE FEVER? 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. 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 million cases of dengue infection occur each year. This includes 100 to 200 cases reported annually to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mostly in people who have recently traveled abroad. From 1977 to 1994, U.S. health care workers reported to CDC 2,248 cases of dengue that had been imported into this country. Many more cases probably go unreported because some doctors do not recognize the disease. During the last part of the 20 th century, cases of dengue began to increase in many tropical regions of the world. Epidemics also began to occur more frequently, and to be more severe. In addition to typical dengue, a severe influenza-like disease-dengue hemorrhagic fever-also has been increasing in many parts of the world.

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 (

Medical College of Wisconsin International Travelers Clinic Dengue Imported Dengue - United States, 1992 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), vol. 43, no. 6, Feb 18, 1994. Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted acute disease caused by any of four virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4) and characterized by the sudden onset of fever, headache, myalgia, rash, nausea, and vomiting. The disease is endemic in most tropical areas of the world and can occur in U.S. residents returning from international travel. Serum samples from 68 persons with suspected imported dengue with onset in 1992 (1) were submitted to CDC from 23 states (Table 1). Of these, 17 (25%) cases (from 10 states) were serologically or virologically diagnosed as dengue. This report summarizes information about these 17 cases. Nine of the 17 persons with laboratory-diagnosed dengue were females. Age was reported for 15 and ranged from 9-54 years (median: 34 years). Dengue serotype was identified by virus isolation for only one of the 17 cases as DEN-1. Travel histories were available for 14 persons with laboratory-diagnosed dengue (Table 1); infections were acquired in Asia (seven cases), the Caribbean Islands (five cases), Honduras (one), andColombia (one). The most commonly reported symptoms were consistent with classic dengue fever (e.g., fever, headache, myalgia, and rash). At least two persons required hospitalization; four patients developed a petechial rash; five had low white blood cell counts (1100-2500 per cubic millimeter [normal: 3200-9800 per cubic millimeter]); five had low platelet counts (42,000-77,000 per cubic millimeter [normal: 150,000-450,000 per cubic millimeter]); four developed elevated liver function test results, and one patient showed hemoconcentration (hematocrit: 51%).

EL DENGUE Por la Doctora Patricia Mónica Sartor ¿Qué es? Es una grave enfermedad viral transmitida por la picadura del mosquito Aedes aegypti Se presenta en dos formas: fiebre de dengue y fiebre hemorrágica de dengue. La fiebre de dengue es una grave enfermedad de tipo gripal que afecta a los niños mayores y a los adultos, pero rara vez causa la muerte. La fiebre hemorrágica de dengue (FHD) es otra forma más grave, en la que pueden sobrevenir hemorragias y a veces un estado de choque, que lleva a la muerte. En los niños es sumamente grave. Las personas que teman haber contraído FHD o dengue deberán acudir inmediatamente al médico. La fiebre hemorrágica de dengue es una enfermedad mortífera para las personas y el diagnóstico temprano, seguido del oportuno tratamiento puede prevenir la muerte. Si no se aplica inmediatamente el tratamiento adecuado, el enfermo puede caer en estado de choque y morir. Los síntomas de la fiebre de dengue varían según la edad y el estado general de salud del paciente. Los lactantes y los niños pequeños pueden presentar un cuadro de fiebre y erupción "sarampionoide", difícil de distinguir de la gripe, el sarampión, el paludismo, la hepatitis infecciosa y otras enfermedades febriles. Los niños mayores y los adultos pueden tener síntomas análogos o un cuadro sintomático variable entre leve y gravísimo. Características de la fiebre de dengue: Aparición brusca de fiebre alta.

Department of Medical Entomology Dengue Overview Natural History Symptoms Laboratory Diagnosis ... bottom of page Overview Currently, dengue is the most important viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes afflicting humans in a world context. Clinical symptoms range from mild fevers, to a severe and potentially life threatening haemorrhagic disease. Source reduction of the breeding habitats of the major mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti , is the best form of control. Natural History The normal cycle of dengue infection is considered to be human - mosquito - human. From feeding on an infected and viraemic human, the female mosquito is able to transmit the dengue virus after an incubation period of 8-10 days wherein virus infection, replication and dissemination result in infection of the salivary glands making the mosquito infective for life. In Australia epidemics of dengue occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Australia was considered to be free of local dengue following 1955 (when there had been a large outbreak in Townsville), but in 1981 a major outbreak with an estimated 3,000 infections occurred in northern Queensland, presumably initiated by an infected traveller. In Australia, there are three possible vectors:
