Article Abstract

The text within this report, as originally published, incorrectly stated that the two included cases of dengue had not recently travelled to a dengue-endemic country. A reexamination of the case data has shown that both cases had recently travelled to a country where dengue is endemic. The paragraph below provides the corrected text for the dengue case descriptions, and replaces the paragraph at the foot of the right-hand column of text on page 10 of the published report. In 2022, two cases of dengue were notified to the APSU, one confirmed and one probable (Table 1), and the incidence estimate for the surveillance period (1 February - 31 December 2022) is shown in Table 2. Neither child had a prior history of dengue; however, both had recently travelled to an endemic country. One had DENV2 serotype and the serotype was not recorded for the second child. Both children were hospitalised and symptoms included fever, rash, cough, severe abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue, retro-orbital pain and myalgia/arthralagia joint pains. One child had respiratory co-infection with human metapneumovirus. Both children received supportive therapies (intravenous fluids, pain relief) and one child received ceftriaxone. On discharge, one child had ongoing problems including arthralgia, fatigue, thrombocytopaenia and hepatitis.

Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection with growing global impact, including international travellers travelling to and from endemic regions. This systematic literature review aimed to assess the clinical and economic burden of dengue in travellers from non-endemic countries.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to assess the incidence, prevalence, mortality, healthcare resource use, and costs of dengue fever in travellers between non-endemic and endemic regions.

Background: Dengue fever remains the most significant vector-borne disease in Southeast Asia, imposing a substantial burden on public health systems. Global warming and increased international mobility may exacerbate the disease's prevalence. Furthermore, the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced the epidemiological patterns of dengue.

Clinical, virological, and antibody profiles of overlapping dengue and chikungunya virus infections in children from southern Colombia.

Background: Dengue and chikungunya are arboviral diseases with overlapping clinical characteristics. Dengue virus (DENV) is endemic in Colombia, and in 2014/2015, the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) caused an epidemic that resulted in over 350,000 cases. Since then, both viruses have been actively co-circulating.

Introduction: Dengue fever, the most prevalent arthropod-borne viral disease, causes ∼400 million infections annually. Although thrombocytopenia is commonly associated with dengue, how it evolves in relation to viral load and immune responses remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate platelet-virus-immune interactions in acute dengue by systematically tracking of viral load, platelet parameters, and leukocyte dynamics.

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is a major global health challenge, causing over 7.6 million reported cases in 2024. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NmAbs) have emerged as promising therapeutics to address the limitations of vaccines and lack of antivirals, but their development is complicated by viral diversity, "breathing" dynamics, and antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
