Dengue virus infection is a growing global problem and reports of outbreaks in Asia and Latin America as well as sporadic infections in international travellers are increasing. Two imported cases of serotype-1 Dengue virus infection in a Northern Italy region with high density of Aedes albopictus vector are described: a 27-year-old man returning from Bali and a 25-years-old woman returning from Brazil. In both patients, viremia lasted for several days before disappearance. These cases stress the importance of investigating Dengue virus infections in febrile travellers, point to the potential for local outbreak of Dengue virus infection and emphasize the necessity of maintaining surveillance in non-endemic countries.
登革热病毒感染是一个日益严重的全球问题，亚洲和拉丁美洲爆发疫情的报告以及国际旅行者中散发性感染的报告都在增加。在意大利北部一个白纹伊蚊密度很高的地区，有两例输入性 1 型登革热病毒感染病例：一名 27 岁男子从巴厘岛返回，一名 25 岁女子从巴西返回。在这两例患者中，病毒血症在消失前持续了几天。这些病例强调了对发热旅行者进行登革热病毒感染调查的重要性，指出了登革热病毒感染局部爆发的可能性，并强调了在非流行国家进行监测的必要性。
