The rise of dengue fever cases in 2024 has brought attention to the resurgence of this mosquito-transmitted disease, prompting health officials to monitor its progress. Dr. Raman Velayudhan addressed these concerns during a recent interview with Vismita Gupta-Smith on the WHO Science in 5 show, offering valuable insights on the topic.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that dengue fever has become endemic in many countries in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Additionally, states like Florida and Puerto Rico in the United States have reported cases of both locally acquired and travel-related dengue in 2024.
Despite the availability of an approved dengue vaccine in the U.S., access may require pre-admission testing. As healthcare professionals and the public continue to fight against this potentially life-threatening disease, it is crucial to stay informed and take necessary precautions to prevent its spread.
In conclusion, dengue fever remains a significant concern for global health officials due to its resurgence in new areas and potential risks associated with it. However, by staying informed and taking necessary precautions, individuals can help reduce the spread of this disease and protect themselves from serious complications or even death.
