title: [Autochthonous dengue].
abstract: Dengue is the arboviral disease that has massively spread in intertropical regions these past few years. The rise in imported cases of dengue and the rapid spread of the Aedes vector mosquitoes in continental France since 2004 explain the occurrence of indigenous dengue cases among the nonimmune population and points to an epidemic risk. Severe dengue cases are rare, but lethality is highest among children under 5 years of age. Like pediatricians in tropical regions, we must learn how dengue presents in metropolitan France and how it can be managed, and pay special attention to severe and potentially fatal forms. The epidemiological, pathophysiological, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics of dengue are presented herein.
