[A study on a local epidemic of dengue fever in Shaxi district of Zhongshan city, 1991].
An epidemic of dengue fever occurred in Shengshi Village of Shaxi District in the last ten-day period of August, 1991. A wrong diagnosis was made on account of atypical clinical symptoms and careless investigation during early days. Effective measures had not been taken in time, so that the disease spread to neighbouring three villages and the town. The epidemic lasted for 64 days and 112 cases were found. It had been proven by etiologic studies that type 1 dengue virus caused this epidemic.
