U.S. health officials have issued a warning to doctors to be alert for dengue fever cases as the disease reaches record numbers globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlighted that the tropical, mosquito-borne disease has been surging worldwide, driven by climate change. In the Americas alone, over 9.7 million cases have been reported this year, surpassing previous records. The CDC noted that most U.S. cases are travel-related, with 745 cases identified among travelers infected abroad since January. Additionally, Puerto Rico has declared a public health emergency with 1,498 cases. Sporadic local transmission has been observed in Florida, Hawaii, Texas, California, and Arizona. The CDC also reported 2,241 cases in the U.S. between January 1 and Monday, and dengue fever has been diagnosed more than 50 times in Massachusetts this year. The CDC emphasized the need for heightened vigilance as the incidence of dengue fever continues to rise globally.
