HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The state Department of Health on Tuesday reported an additional travel-related case of dengue fever on Oahu.
The individual traveled to a region where dengue is known to spread, DOH said.
DOH teams were deployed for inspection and mosquito control in the affected area.
So far this year, there have been nine travel-related dengue cases reported in the state — one on Kauai, two on Maui and six on Oahu.
Several regions worldwide are experiencing higher-than-normal dengue activity, health officials said.
Symptoms typically last two to seven days and range from mild to severe fevers, nausea, vomiting, body aches and rashes. Although the illness can be life-threatening to some, most recover after about a week.
Those who have traveled to dengue regions and are experiencing symptoms should contact their nearest health provider.
