Dengue fever remains underreported in Africa due to a lack of awareness among healthcare providers, the presence of other febrile illnesses, and insufficient laboratory testing. We present a case of dengue fever imported from Burkina Faso to Japan, where an outbreak of dengue was reported on October 18, 2016. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolate from our patient belonged to a distinct cluster of sylvatic dengue viruses, suggesting that dengue viruses have been maintained in mosquitoes and human cycles in Burkina Faso for more than 30 years.
由于医疗服务提供者缺乏认识、存在其他发热性疾病以及实验室检测不足，登革热在非洲的报告仍然不足。我们报告一例从布基纳法索输入日本的登革热病例，2016年10月18日日本报告了登革热疫情。系统发育分析显示，我们患者的分离株属于一个独特的丛林型登革热病毒簇，这表明登革热病毒已在布基纳法索的蚊子和人类传播循环中持续存在了30多年。
