SUMMARYDengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity (the cocirculation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions.

The endemic area for dengue fever extends over 60 countries, and approximately 2.5 billion people are at risk of infection. The incidence of dengue has multiplied many times over the last five decades at an alarming rate. In the endemic areas, waves of infection occur in epidemics, with thousands of individuals affected, creating a huge burden on the ...

The recent publication on autoimmune features in dengue fever by Jardim et al. is very interesting.1 Dengue fever should be suspected in patients with hematological disorders and autoimmune features in endemic regions.1 Indeed, there is no doubt that autoimmunity plays important roles in the pathogenesis of dengue.
