Features: Dengue is an acute viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, characterized by complex and diverse clinical manifestations. It is known for its rapid spread, high incidence rate, and relatively high mortality rate in severe forms (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Dengue Shock Syndrome). The disease affects the general population with high susceptibility. Additionally, its imported nature and sudden onset make it prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Delays in epidemic reporting and investigation can lead to widespread outbreaks, such as the one that occurred in Guangdong Province in 1980, which affected over 450,000 cases. Dengue outbreaks can have significant impacts on people's lives, health, and economic development.
