Abstract
This report described a program undertaken with the collaboration of the CDC (Colorado, USA) known as "Active, laboratory-based surveillance for dengue infection in Bien Hoa city in 2002". Results of this study are as follows: The predominant serotype which circulated in Bien Hoa city in 2002 was Dengue-4. The number of children - 15 years old with clinical diagnoses of Viral syndrome and Fever of Unknown Origin (899 cases) is higher than that diagnosed as DF/DHF (603 cases). The number of dengue isolates recovered from Viral Syndromes, Fever of Unknown Origins and Suspect Dengue Patients (48 isolates) was higher than that isolated from DF/DHF cases (45 cases). This demonstrated that Viral Syndromes and Fever of Unknown Origins may be reservoir of important role in the distribution of dengue viruses in community
