Dengue is a global health problem and expansion of its endemics towards new territories in the hilly regions in Nepal is a serious concern. It appeared as a new disease in Nepal in 2004 from Japanese traveler with sporadic cases every year and massive outbreaks in 2010, 2013 and 2016. The serotype was responsible for outbreak in particular year was dengue virus serotype-1 (DENV-1) in 2010, 2016; and DENV-2 in 2013. Nepal lacks basic health related infrastructure in rural areas and does not have a stringent health care policy. With severances of epidemic like dengue, a new surveillance or an upgrading of existing one are direly needed to better challenge the possible outbreaks. This review paper aims to explain the dengue trend in last one decade in Nepal and warrants concerted and timely public health interventions to minimize the deleterious effects of the disease.
登革热是一个全球性的健康问题，其在尼泊尔丘陵地区向新地区的蔓延是一个严重的问题。2004 年，一名日本旅行者将这种疾病带到了尼泊尔，此后每年都有散发病例，2010 年、2013 年和 2016 年还出现了大规模疫情。导致当年疫情的血清型分别是 2010 年和 2016 年的登革热病毒血清型-1（DENV-1）和 2013 年的 DENV-2。尼泊尔农村地区缺乏基本的卫生相关基础设施，也没有严格的医疗保健政策。由于像登革热这样的疫情爆发，迫切需要新的监测或升级现有的监测，以更好地应对可能的疫情爆发。本文旨在解释过去十年尼泊尔登革热的流行趋势，并呼吁采取协调一致和及时的公共卫生干预措施，以最大限度地减少该疾病的有害影响。
