    HAJJA ? Residents of Bani Jamal, a village in Qofl Shamr area, Hajja governorate, have been suffering from dengue fever for the past month.

    Thus far, seven people have died, a young girl among them, according to the Hajja Public Health Office (PHO).

    ...
    Dr Adel Al-Moayad, the director of Hajja PHO, said that he accompanied a medical team to Bani Jamal village after receiving a notification saying that seven people had died from measles, but then they discovered that it wasn't measles but dengue fever.

    "Dengue fever was widespread in Hajja four months ago but the residents didn't convey that to the PHO,? he said. ?We came to know about it this week. Therefore, we sent a medical team to the area to give people the needed vaccination to combat dengue fever," he added.
    ...


    As there is no vaccination for dengue, perhaps the word "medication" should have been used. - Ro

        It is notable that laboratory facility has developed in Hodeidah that is able to recognize dengue. The area has reported large undiagnosed outbreaks in the past few years:

        http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=113114 [2009]

        that seem likely to have been due to dengue. Perhaps this change is due to the result of political changes over the past year?
