Abstract
The relationship between the Breteau index, the House index, and the o ccurrence of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever in the 6 zones of Kuala L umpur was studied throughout 1994. Cases of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever varied between zones and between months, ranging from 0 to 21 ca ses. In most of the zones in Kuala Lumpur, the occurrence of dengue/de ngue hemorrhagic fever has no relationship with the Breteau and House indices. Cases of dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever occurred in all zone s despite the low Breteau and House indices.
