During the past decade outbreaks of a severe haemorrhagic disease caused by dengue viruses of multiple types have been reported in the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Viet-Nam and eastern India. In many of these outbreaks chikungunya virus, a group A arbovirus, was simultaneously the cause of similar but probably milder disease. Both these viruses appear to be able to be able to produce classical dengue fever in some individuals and disease with haemorrhagic manifestations in others. Because of the growing public health importance and the progressive spread of this disease a unified review of its clinical and epidemiological features has been needed. This paper presents the history and salient clinical features of mosquito-borne haemorrhagic fever and summarizes recent epidemiological studies and current diagnostic and control methods.
在过去十年中，菲律宾、泰国、马来西亚、越南和印度东部均报告了由多种登革病毒引起的严重出血性疾病疫情。在许多此类疫情中，A组虫媒病毒基孔肯雅病毒同时导致了类似但可能较轻的疾病。这两种病毒似乎都能够在一些个体中引发典型的登革热，而在另一些个体中引发有出血表现的疾病。鉴于这种疾病对公共卫生的重要性日益增加且传播范围不断扩大，因此需要对其临床和流行病学特征进行统一综述。本文介绍了蚊媒出血热的历史和显著临床特征，并总结了近期的流行病学研究以及当前的诊断和控制方法。
