Surveillance of dengue fever is mainly based on specific laboratory tests. However non-specific systems, such as clinical surveillance, are also required. In French Guiana, we have tested a non-specific laboratory surveillance system where different biological examinations performed for other reasons than the diagnosis of dengue fever were analysed as methods for dengue fever surveillance. The number of negative malaria diagnoses in Cayenne and Kourou was found to be the best indicator of dengue fever infections in these towns. This surveillance system appears to be very simple and reliable, and a test which could serve as an indicator that is likely to be found everywhere.
登革热监测主要基于特定的实验室检测。然而，非特异性系统，如临床监测，也是必需的。在法属圭亚那，我们测试了一种非特异性实验室监测系统，即将因其他原因而非诊断登革热进行的不同生物学检查作为登革热监测方法进行分析。发现卡宴和库鲁地区疟疾诊断阴性的数量是这些城镇登革热感染的最佳指标。这种监测系统似乎非常简单可靠，而且是一种很可能在各地都能找到的可作为指标的检测方法。
