SHANGHAI has its first locally reported dengue fever case.
Making the announcement, the local health authority said all previous dengue fever cases involved people who had been infected with the disease elsewhere but had the disease detected in Shanghai.
The patient, whose case was reported on Tuesday, is a 35-year-old man. He went to hospital after suffering symptoms such as fever, skin rash and aching joints, said Shanghai Health and Family Planning Commission. His temperature has since returned to normal and the skin rash faded after treatment, the commission said.
