    Re: Yemen - 8 deaths suspected dengue - many sick in Hodeidah

    We have had reports of "Almrkvs" from Hodeidah nearly every year since 2007. Here, for example, is the 2009 report:



    The consensus after much disagreement among ProMED moderators last year, if I remember correctly, is that "Almrkvs" is not a single disease, but a collection of symptoms. Individual cases in previous years have been diagnosed with malaria, chikungunya, dengue, and influenza. There has even been suspicion of HFRS and E. coli in some of the outbreaks.
