Dengue Fever
10 Brote ActivosDengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes flu-like illness and can develop into severe dengue, a potentially lethal complication. It is endemic in more than 100 countries, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions.
¿Qué es Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever is one of the fastest-growing mosquito-borne diseases globally. Approximately half of the world's population is now at risk, with an estimated 390 million infections occurring each year. Climate change is expanding the range of Aedes mosquitoes that transmit the disease, bringing dengue to new regions.
SÃntomas
- High fever (104°F/40°C)
- Severe headache
- Pain behind the eyes
- Severe joint and muscle pain (breakbone fever)
- Rash (appears 2-5 days after fever)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Mild bleeding (nose, gums)
Transmisión
Dengue is transmitted through bites from infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. These mosquitoes become infected when they bite a person with dengue virus in their blood. The virus cannot spread directly between people.
PerÃodo de Contagio: Not contagious person-to-person; infectious to mosquitoes from 1 day before fever onset through 5-7 days of illness
Prevención
- Use mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants
- Use air conditioning or window/door screens
- Remove standing water where mosquitoes breed
- Use mosquito nets, especially during the day
- Consider dengue vaccine if you live in endemic areas (consult healthcare provider)
- Treat clothing and gear with permethrin

Dengue Outbreak: Taiwan's First 2026 Case Confirmed in Kaohsiung
Autochthonous transmission of dengue (type 2) has been reported in Taiwan, with 4 cases in Kaohsiung City. Increased mosquito activity related to rain, especially following typhoons, is thought to be increasing risk of transmission.

Dengue, Colombia
In 2025, Colombia reported 123 745 dengue cases and 118 confirmed deaths, corresponding to a national case fatality rate of 0.09% and an incidence of 370.7 cases per 100 000 inhabitants, substantially lower than in 2024 but still above historical baseline levels. Most cases were non-severe, yet 38% presented with warning signs or severe dengue, with the highest incidence observed among children and adolescents under 17 years, placing pressure on pediatric health services. Dengue transmission showed strong geographic clustering, with 57.4% of cases concentrated in a small number of departments, and a late-year increase in cases signaled continued transmission risk entering 2026.

Through epidemiological week 21 (data as of 01 Jun 2026), Mexico has recorded 2286 confirmed dengue cases, 23 718 probable cases, and 4 confirmed deaths nationally—a markedly quiet year, with confirmed cases down roughly 38% and deaths down about 78% compared with the same period in 2025 (3692 cases, 18 deaths), and far below the 2024 epidemic.

Dengue Cases Surge in Honduras Before Rainy Season
Honduras is experiencing a moderate dengue season in 2026, with case counts about half those recorded at the same point in 2025, consistent with the post-epidemic trough following the severe 2024 outbreak. Ongoing circulation of DENV-3 and the concentration of cases in densely populated urban departments sustain the risk of severe disease, particularly among children, as the country enters its higher-transmission rainy season from May to November.
