Transition in the Cause of Fever from Malaria to Dengue, Northwestern Ecuador, 1990–2011
Openalex
Resumen
In tropical areas, the predominant cause of fever has historically been malaria. However by 2011, among febrile patients in northwestern Ecuador, dengue was identified in 42% and malaria in none. This finding suggests a transition in the cause of fever from malaria to other illnesses, such as dengue.
