Dengue Alert in Hawaii | Honolulu News

Hawaii’s health department confirms a new dengue case in an Oahu resident linked to travel, marking the sixth such case — separate from a prior visitor case not counted in state totals. While officials say local spread risk is low, they urge residents to eliminate standing water to curb mosquito breeding. Dengue, not native to Hawaii, can be carried by mosquitoes and is prevalent in tropical regions worldwide. Travelers are advised to use repellent, wear protective clothing, and sleep in screened rooms. If you’ve recently traveled to a dengue-affected area and develop fever, rash, or body aches within two weeks, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
