Articles and videos about LA County reports 1st case of dengue not related to travel on FOX 11 Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is reporting its first case of locally-acquired mosquito-borne dengue not related to travel, the Department of Public Health announced Monday. Officials said the Baldwin Park resident has no history of travel to areas where dengue is endemic. Previously, locally-acquired cases of dengue were confirmed in 2023 in Long Beach and Pasadena.
Severe cases may lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome; both require immediate medical attention."This case further indicates that dengue fever is present in our community. While the likelihood of widespread transmission is low at this time, we must remain vigilant and prevent further cases through public education and mosquito control efforts," said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health Officer.
