According to media quoting the National Dengue Control Programme (NDCP) of Cambodia, there have been 2 869 dengue cases (including 7 deaths, mostly children) in the first 6 months of 2022. The total number of cases is three times greater than in the same period in 2021.
Dengue fever is an infection found in tropical and sub-tropical climates worldwide. It is spread by Aedes mosquito bites and can cause a severe flu-like illness.
There is no vaccine against dengue licensed in the UK. Treatment is supportive only.
All travellers to endemic regions are potentially at risk of dengue fever and should be aware of this infection. Aedes mosquitoes are particularly persistent and aggressive. They bite between dawn and dusk.
Travellers developing a fever during or on return from travel are advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
