Abstract:
There were 104 cases of new emerged den-4 serotype hemorrhagic dengue in 2 communes comprising of 81.7% of grade I and 18.3% of grade II. No cases of shock and death were reported. Under 15 years old children account for 26.9%. Differential diagnosis was established late, but active measures such as the elimination of vectorial larvae by larvivorous fishes were well applicated to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
