Dengue Virus Confirmed in Hawaii

Travel-related Case Reported on Maui

The Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) has confirmed a travel-related case of dengue virus in Hana on Maui. This is the first confirmed case of dengue virus in Hawaii since 2019.

Symptoms of Dengue Virus

Dengue virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms of dengue virus can include:

• Fever
• Headache
• Muscle and joint pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Rash

In severe cases, dengue virus can lead to hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome, which can be life-threatening.

• Use insect repellent when outdoors.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.
• Install screens on windows and doors.
• Avoid areas with standing water, where mosquitoes can breed.

If you experience any symptoms of dengue virus, see a doctor immediately.
