The Pan American Health Organisation has issued an epidemiological alert regarding the increased risk of dengue outbreaks in the Americas, including the Caribbean, attributed to the growing circulation of the DENV-3 serotype in several countries in the region.
PAHO says it is urging countries to strengthen their surveillance, early diagnosis, and clinical management to address potential increases in dengue cases.
PAHO said the appearance or rise of a serotype that was not previously predominant in a region can lead to a surge in cases due to greater population susceptibility.
