In 1987, situation of DHF in Thailand was the worst for the past 30 years. There were 152,840 cases and 785 deaths from the preliminary report. The incidence was highest ever reported. Outbreak begun early in January and reached its peak in July. All 73 provinces were affected except six provinces which had incidence of less than 60 per 100,000 population. The highest attack rates were in school children, especially 5-9 year olds. Virus isolation in a north-eastern province recovered Den-3 and Den-2 more common than other serotypes. Although a large outbreak in 1987 is unlikely to happen in 1988 but with the endemic areas all over the country there is a potential for small outbreaks to occur. The Ministry of Public Health needs new approaches and increased resources to control this disease.
1987年，泰国登革出血热的疫情是过去30年中最严重的。初步报告显示，病例达152,840例，死亡785人。发病率创历史新高。疫情于1月初开始，7月达到高峰。除6个发病率低于每10万人60例的省份外，全国73个省份均受到影响。发病率最高的是学龄儿童，尤其是5至9岁的儿童。在东北部一个省份进行的病毒分离显示，登革3型和登革2型病毒比其他血清型更为常见。虽然1988年不太可能再次出现1987年那样大规模的疫情，但鉴于全国各地均为疫区，仍有可能发生小规模疫情。泰国公共卫生部需要采用新方法并增加资源来控制这种疾病。
