Dengue is a mosquito-transmitted acute disease caused by any of four dengue virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4) and characterized by the sudden onset of fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, rash, nausea, and vomiting. This disease is endemic in most tropical areas of the world and has occurred in U.S. residents returning from travel to such areas. CDC maintains a laboratory-based passive surveillance system for imported dengue among U.S. residents. This report summarizes information about cases of imported dengue among U.S. residents for 1996, which indicated that most persons for whom travel history was known probably acquired infection in the Caribbean islands or Asia.
登革热是一种由四种登革热病毒血清型（DEN-1、DEN-2、DEN-3和DEN-4）中的任何一种引起的经蚊子传播的急性疾病，其特征为突然发热、头痛、肌痛、关节痛、皮疹、恶心和呕吐。这种疾病在世界上大多数热带地区流行，在美国前往这些地区旅行归来的居民中也有发生。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）维持着一个针对美国居民输入性登革热的基于实验室的被动监测系统。本报告总结了1996年美国居民输入性登革热病例的相关信息，这些信息表明，在已知旅行史的人群中，大多数人可能是在加勒比群岛或亚洲感染的。
