Dengue haemorrhagic fever is a recent and more serious variant of deng
ue infection, causing significant mortality in children under 14 years
of age in South-East Asia and the Western Pacific regions. Successful
treatment depends on early recognition of the disease and careful mon
itoring of the development of shock. Japanese B encephalitis has a cas
e fatality rate of 10%-30% in these regions, but may be controlled by
vaccination.
