During the past 6 months 58 persons (32 male male and 26 female female) have suffered from a type of fever clinically indistinguishable from dengue fever. Surveys indicate that the proper mosquito vector is present in Puerto Rico. Present diagnostic methods make it impossible to be certain whether or not this illness is true dengue fever.
