Although still well above the epidemic level, new reports of suspected Dengue infections on the island of Puerto Rico have declined each of the past five weeks to now just 55% of what they were in week 32.
No new deaths have been reported in the latest CDC surveillance report.
Much of Central and South America, along with many islands islands of the Caribbean, are dealing with unusually high numbers of Dengue cases this year.
PAHO, the Pan American Health Organization, just released (Nov. 5th) updated year-to-date numbers indicating more than 1.5 million total infections for the Americas.
And the Florida Department of Health’s arbovirus surveillance system - in their latest report – shows two new cases of Dengue in Key West (56 total for the year). One other case was reported in Broward county over the summer.
