SUMMARY: Observations of mosquito-borne haemorrhagic fever in the Philippines in 1964 have been presented which suggest that dengue virus infection may be widespread with high endemicity in the Manila area. One dengue type 2, two dengue type 3 and nine dengue type 4 viruses were isolated from 101 in- and out-patients with haemorrhagic fever or "influenza" occurring between May and August 1964. From serological surveys it was suggested that residents of the Manila area have had consistently less dengue virus experience than residents in comparable age groups in Bangkok or Saigon. Systematic prospective studies of hospitalized patients, definition of the prevailing dengue haemorrhagic fever syndrome and accurate reporting of cases are much needed to document the nature and scope of this important disease in the Philippine endemic area.

SUMMARY: 1.HI test of 67 children from 0-14 years of age in and around Manila showed that 16 (or 23.9%) of them had demonstrable antibody against dengue virus. Incidentally one out of 67 children examined (or 1.5%) had antibody against chikungunya virus by both HI and neutralization test. 2.In a limited serologic survey covering several areas in the Philippines involving 327 samples it was shown that there has been past exposure of the human population to group A and B arboviruses. 3.Nine dengue type 4, two dengue type 3 and one dengue type 2 viruses were isolated from the patients studied with clinical diagnosis of H-fever or influenza occurring between May and August, 1964.

The dengue surveillance system in Panama during the 1994 and 1995 epidemics shows the following results: In 1994 we registered 793 dengue cases and a year after 3,083 dengue cases, with three dengue haemorrhagic cases (one death). To estimate the accumulated incidence rates in 1994-1995 period, we consolidated the cases. The highest risk of dengue and the highest dengue haemorrhagic propension were observed in: West Panama (709.49 per 100,000 persons), Los Santos (405.74 per 100,000 persons), Herrera (337.62 per 100,000), Metropolitana (126.98 per 100,000) and San Miguelito (125.10 per 100,000 persons).
