The Features of Imported Dengue Fever Cases Confirmed at National Institute of Infectious Diseases Japan, during 2001 + by Ken-Ichiro Yamada* # , Tomohiko Takasaki*, Masaru Nawa**, Reiko Nerome*, Yohko T Arai*, Kinjiro Morimoto* and Ichiro Kurane* *Department of Virology 1, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1-23-1 Toyama, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-8640 Japan **Department of Microbiology, Saitama Medical School, Japan Abstract The demographic features of the dengue cases confirmed during 2001 at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan, were determined. Thirty-five cases were confirmed to be of dengue fever, 18 cases were male and 17 female. The youngest case was 19 years old and the oldest was 64 years old. Thirty-four cases were determined to be of primary infection, and one was secondary. Most of the dengue patients developed illness after returning from countries in Southeast and South Asia. In addition, two patients had visited Tahiti and one had visited Samoa before developing dengue fever. Dengue fever/dengue haemorrhagic fever is the infectious disease that should attract more attention in Japan. Keywords: Dengue fever, imported cases, serodiagnosis, Japan. Introduction Dengue fever/dengue haemorrhagic fever is one of the infectious diseases that all physicians are required to report in Japan, according to the Japanese infectious disease control law. Dengue outbreaks occurred in + Information generated on the circulation of dengue serotypes is equally important for ‘travellers contact’ countries. Introduction of new DEN serotype has been found to be a good predictive indicator for larger epidemics. During the present study, out of the 21 virus genome detections from countries of South-East and South Asia, 15 isolations belonged to DEN-1 and three each to DEN-2 and DEN-3. DEN-1 was the predominant virus circulating in the region during 2001. Besides, this information is important for DHF/DSS case management. In Thailand it has been established that the severity of DEN-1 and DEN-2 is associated with more plasma leakage, more shock and complication with fluid overload cases, whereas DEN-3 and DEN-4 severity is associated with hepatic dysfunction and encephalophathy. Advance stocking of DEN serotype-specific requirements in hospitals will result in better case management and help in lowering the case fatality rates. – Editor # For correspondence: kyamada@nih.go.jp 168 Dengue Bulletin – Vol 26, 2002
