The six US territories and freely associated states with frequent or continuous dengue transmission are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.With rising global and domestic cases, the CDC urges healthcare providers to monitor for dengue:
Roughly one in four dengue virus infections are symptomatic and can be mild or severe. Symptoms begin after an incubation period of about 5-7 days. Infants aged a year or younger, pregnant people, adults aged 65 years or older, people with certain medical conditions, and those with previous dengue infections are at increased risk for severe dengue.
