The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) is issuing this Epidemiological Update to summarize the dengue situation in the Region and remind Member States of the need to maintain and strengthen prevention and surveillance actions. It also urges them to remain alert to increases in cases so that they can organize and adapt health services in a timely manner to ensure prompt, high-quality clinical management, prevent complications, and avoid overwhelming specialized care services. In addition, PAHO/WHO recommends strengthening and deploying integrated vector management actions in areas of highest risk, including health facilities that care for patients with dengue.
