Epidemiological Situation

To date, the epidemiological situation regarding dengue fever indicates localized viral circulation. This analysis is based on the following factors:

• Confirmed and suspected outbreaks in the municipalities of Sainte-Luce and Fort-de-France, respectively;

• The continuous occurrence of confirmed cases recorded by the biological surveillance system over the past eight weeks;

• The relatively limited number of clinically suggestive dengue cases seen in private practice, both by the island’s general practitioners and by the SOS-Médecins association.

We must therefore remain vigilant regarding the potential geographic spread of this viral activity, which is still relatively localized.
