6 more cases of dengue confirmed in Guam, 5 of them local [View all]
From close of business Friday through Saturday morning, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested and confirmed six additional cases of dengue infection.
Five of the six are locally acquired cases, meaning these individuals had no recent travel history. One of the six cases is suspected to be an imported case, meaning it probably was acquired through travel outside of Guam.
To date, there are now seven confirmed cases of locally acquired dengue infection and three confirmed cases of imported dengue infection. With the enhanced surveillance and continued timely reporting by Guam healthcare providers, DPHSS expects additional cases of dengue to be detected.
DPHSS also continues mosquito surveillance to include the capture of adult mosquitoes in high-risk areas.
