A dengue outbreak has been reported, with specific criteria established for suspected and confirmed cases. Suspected cases are defined as individuals with acute fever illness lasting more than 2 days, accompanied by symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, aches, and pains. Confirmation requires laboratory testing, including isolation of the dengue virus or detection of specific antigens or antibodies.
The outbreak threshold is met when four confirmed cases are reported within a single epidemiological week. Testing has identified the circulating serotype as Dengue Virus Type 1 (DENV-1), based on five confirmed samples. Further details on the outbreak are available from the situation report, which provides more information on the disease and its spread.
