dc.description.abstractDenguefever is a viral disease seen as imported cases in Turkiye. Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes (A. aegytiand, A. alboptticus) serve as vectors. The flaviviridea a family is a RNA virus in the genus flavivirus. The incubation period is 3-14 days. There are four different serotypes: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4. Infection with any serotype can occur. It is the most important step for diagnosis, especially, in cases traveling to endemic regions in Turkiye. Warning symptoms such as fever, headache, retrobulbar pain, myalgia, jointpain, rash (macular, papular, petechiae, purpura) are important in early diagnosis. RT-PCR from serum makes a definitive diagnosis. DENV IgM positivity and four-fold increase in DENV IgG also make the diagnosis. The main treatment is supportive treatment. There is no specific antiviral treatment. There is a vaccine licensed as Dengvaxia for people in the risk group. In our study, we wanted to share our two cases of Dengue fever, which is likely to be confused with malaria, in the Hatay region, where imported malaria cases are common.en_US
