Dengue is an emerging vectorborne infectious disease that is a major public health concern in the Asia and the Pacific. Official dengue surveillance data for 2011 provided by ministries of health were summarized as part of routine activities of the World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific. Based on officially reported surveillance data, dengue continued to show sustained activity in the Western Pacific Region. In 2011, Member States reported a total of 244,855 cases of which 839 died for a case fatality rate of 0.34%. More than 1000 cases were reported each from Cambodia, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Singapore and Viet Nam. Cambodia, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands reported higher activity relative to 2010. There continues to be great variability among the dengue-endemic countries and areas in the Region in the number of cases and serotype distribution. The continued high notification rate and complex dengue epidemiology in the Region highlight the need for information-sharing on a routine and timely basis.
登革热是一种新出现的媒介传播传染病，是亚洲及太平洋地区主要的公共卫生问题。作为世界卫生组织西太平洋区域办事处日常活动的一部分，对各国卫生部提供的2011年登革热官方监测数据进行了汇总。根据官方报告的监测数据，登革热在西太平洋区域仍持续活跃。2011年，各成员国共报告244,855例病例，其中839人死亡，病死率为0.34%。柬埔寨、密克罗尼西亚联邦、老挝人民民主共和国、马来西亚、菲律宾、马绍尔群岛、新加坡和越南均报告了1000多例病例。与2010年相比，柬埔寨、密克罗尼西亚联邦和马绍尔群岛报告的疫情更为活跃。该区域登革热流行国家和地区的病例数和血清型分布仍存在很大差异。该区域持续的高报告率和复杂的登革热流行病学情况凸显了定期及时共享信息的必要性。
