Dengue: etiology of acute febrile illness in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, in 2011-2012
Conclusions
This study suggests that dengue virus circulates in Abidjan outside an epidemic and that there should be an increase in awareness of dengue as a possible diagnosis in cases of undifferentiated fever. These results stress the importance of implementing laboratory capacity to assess dengue burden in Africa.
