CDC Warns Americans of Higher Risk of Dengue Fever

Reported 9 months ago

The CDC warns that people in the U.S. are at a higher risk of contracting dengue fever this year due to a rise in global cases of the mosquito-spread viral infection. The health alert advises increased vigilance, especially for travelers returning from dengue-endemic areas. While most cases result in mild symptoms, certain groups such as infants, pregnant individuals, and the elderly are at risk of severe dengue, which can be fatal. Experts anticipate a rise in cases among travelers returning to the U.S. from dengue-affected regions.
