Dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS) is one of the principal causes of hospitalization and death among children in several south-east Asian countries. Also, in the Region of the Americas, there has been an increase in the frequency of dengue fever epidemics and in the number of cases of DHF/DSS. In 1981 an epidemic of dengue haemorrhagic fever occurred in Cuba and this suggests that there is a high risk that such epidemics could recur in the region. The article summarizes the main clinical, virological, and epidemiological data obtained during the outbreak, some of which are reported for the first time.
登革出血热/登革休克综合征(DHF/DSS)是东南亚几个国家儿童住院和死亡的主要原因之一。此外,在美洲地区,登革热疫情的发生频率以及DHF/DSS的病例数都有所增加。1981年古巴发生了登革出血热疫情,这表明该地区此类疫情很有可能再次发生。本文总结了疫情期间获得的主要临床、病毒学和流行病学数据,其中一些是首次报道。
