The present study is based on a questionnaire evaluating 2,770 school teachers, including those from elementary, junior-high, senior-high, and occupational schools, in Kaohsiung city. The response rate was 91.1% (2,626/2,770). The self-reported cumulative incidence of dengue-like illness was 7.9% (207/2,626) and the physician-diagnosed cumulative incidence was 5.6% (148/2,626). There is no significant difference between distribution of infections among subjects' gender, educational background, and the associated school regardless of self-reported cases or diagnosed cases. Among those self-reported dengue infected teachers, 60.1% (119/207) required sick leaves. The difference of sick leaves among subjects by either education background or associated school was not significant. However, more females stayed home because of the illness than males did.
