AB Dengue  fever  (DF)  is  a  worldwide  infection  caused  by  4  related  RNA  viruses  of  the  genus  Flavivirus,  dengue  viruses  (DENV)  DENV-1,  DENV-2,  DENV-3,  and  DENV-4.  DENV  is  primarily  transmitted  to  humans  through  the  bite  of  infected  Aedes  aegypti  (and  less  commonly  Aedes  albopictus  or  Aedes  polynesiensis)  mosquitoes.  DENV  causes  asymptomatic  infection,  DF,  or  a  severe  syndrome  (dengue  hemorrhagic  fever  [DHF]/dengue  shock  syndrome  [DSS]).  The  latter  is  characterized  by  systemic  capillary  leakage,  thrombocytopenia,  and  hypovolemic  shock.
