Abstract

Dengue is the most common arboviral disease globally. It is caused by four distinct but closely related Dengue viruses (DENV-1, -2, -3, and - 4) transmitted through bites of infected Aedes species mosquito vectors. In the last 50 years, incidence has increased 30-fold with increasing geographic expansion to new countries. Here we report the most important autochthonous Dengue epidemic in Italy ever recorded with a total of 86 confirmed cases occurring in September 2024 in Fano. They were caused by DENV-2. They were 61 Dengue fever, 21 Dengue with warning signs and no cases of severe Dengue. Our data underline the importance of considering Dengue not only as imported disease and rapidly testing all those patients with suggestive clinical pictures even if they have no travel history.

2024年9月意大利佩萨罗-乌尔比诺省-马尔凯大区法诺暴发本地登革热。

登革热是全球最常见的虫媒病毒性疾病。登革热是由四种不同但密切相关的登革热病毒（DENV-1、-2、-3和- 4）引起的，它们通过受感染的伊蚊媒介叮咬传播。在过去50年中，随着向新国家的地理扩展，发病率增加了30倍。在此，我们报告意大利有史以来最重要的本土登革热疫情，2024年9月在法诺共发生86例确诊病例。它们是由DENV-2引起的。其中61例为登革热，21例为有警告信号的登革热，没有严重登革热病例。我们的数据强调，不仅要将登革热视为输入性疾病，而且要迅速检测所有有提示临床症状的患者，即使他们没有旅行史。

期刊介绍： Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases. Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease. Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases. Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases. Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies. Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections. In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
