Description
Nestor Arce and co-authors describe dengue and chikungunya cases at four provincial hospitals in Davao de Oro in the Philippines, in a 2024 study. Both mosquito-borne diseases are common in the tropics and cause fever that is hard to tell apart at first sight. The team wanted a clearer local picture.
From 2019 to 2020, they tested blood from 382 patients. Dengue was found in more than half, chikungunya in a small share, and both together in a similar small share. In over a third, the cause stayed unknown. Fever, headache, and rash were common to both. The authors call for more awareness, better tests, and joined control work in a dengue-prone area.
