Autochthonous Dengue Fever, Tokyo, Japan, 2014
Open accessAbstract
After 70 years with no confirmed autochthonous cases of dengue fever in Japan, 19 cases were reported during August-September 2014.Dengue virus serotype 1 was detected in 18 patients.Phylogenetic analysis of the envelope protein genome sequence from 3 patients revealed 100% identity with the strain from the first patient (2014) in Japan.A lthough ≈200 imported cases of dengue fever have re- cently been reported in Japan (1), an autochthonous case had not been confirmed there for 70 years (2).However, on August 26, 2014, an autochthonous case of dengue fever in a patient with no history of overseas travel was reported in Tokyo, and as of October 31, 2014, a total of 160 autochthonous cases in Japan had been confirmed (3). The CasesWe report 19 cases of confirmed autochthonous dengue fever treated at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Tokyo, Japan, during August 26-September 22, 2014 (Tables 1, 2; online Technical Appendix Table, http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/EID/article/21/3/14-1662-Techapp1.pdf).Because the National Center for Global Health and Medicine is located close to the epicenter of this outbreak, 19 (12%) of the 160 cases of this outbreak were confirmed at this Center.Informed consent for participation in this study was obtained from all 19 patients.Of these 19 patients, the median age was 33.0 years (range 6-64 years), and 10 (55.6%) were men.None of the patients had any underlying illness except for hypertension (2 patients) and asthma (1 patient).One patient had a

In 2014, Japan reported an outbreak of 162 autochthonous dengue cases for the first time in nearly 70 years, of which more than 90% (148/160, from available data) had visited or worked near parks in central Tokyo, and the dominant serotype was DENV-1.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
