While dengue fever is not currently of great concern in thecontinental U.S., cases do appear in Texas, in southernMexico, and among tourists returning to the mainland fromthe Caribbean and other tropical and subtropical localeswhere dengue fever is endemic. Therefore, Western practitionersmay be asked to treat patients with this condition. Inaddition, the Chinese medical pattern discrimination ofdengue fever (including dengue hemorrhagic fever) may beused as a template for the Chinese medical treatment ofColorado tick fever and hanta virus.2. Acupuncture is only an adjunctive therapy for this condition.The internal administration of Chinese medicinals inrelatively high doses should be its main treatment.
