Dengue outbreaks are common in many parts of the world, including Central and South America, Asia (such as the Philippines), the Middle East, Africa, and some Pacific Islands. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include fever, nausea, vomiting, rash, and body aches. Travelers who visit areas with a high risk of dengue transmission should take necessary precautions to avoid infection.
