title: [Dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever].
abstract: Dengue virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes dengue fever/dengue haemorrhagic fever throughout the tropical areas of the world. There is an increasing incidence of dengue infections. Because of increasing travel activity, infection among Danes travelling abroad as well as imported cases are expected to be seen more frequently. In this review we describe the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of the disease.
