August 25, 2014 Category Health, Weekly
Dengue fever is spreading in Guangzhou, as the number of cases has surged rapidly over the past month. Since the first case was reported at the end of June, more than 400 cases had been reported, but no deaths have occurred so far. The figures are up considerably from a little more than 100 cases in the city last year, and fewer than 20 in 2012. The disease, carried by mosquitoes, is caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include a skin rash similar to measles along with a headache and muscle and joint pains.
