Recent dengue outbreaks in the Caribbean and Central and South America and the presence of competent mosquito vectors increase the likelihood of future autochthonous transmission in Florida. During April 1997 to March 1998, a laboratory-based active surveillance program detected 18 cases of dengue involving all four dengue serotypes. All patients reported recent travel to countries with indigenous dengue transmission. These results demonstrate that dengue infections are imported into Florida at a much higher rate than reflected by previous passive surveillance; therefore, the risk for local dengue transmission may be increasing.
近期在加勒比地区、中美洲和南美洲爆发的登革热疫情，以及当地存在具备传播能力的蚊媒，增加了佛罗里达州未来出现本地传播的可能性。在1997年4月至1998年3月期间，一项基于实验室的主动监测计划检测到18例登革热病例，涉及所有四种登革热血清型。所有患者均报告近期前往过有登革热本地传播的国家。这些结果表明，登革热感染输入佛罗里达州的比率远高于以往被动监测所反映的情况；因此，本地登革热传播的风险可能正在增加。
