In 2023, 236 cases of Dengue were confirmed in Italy, of which 36 were autoctonous

Approximately half of the world's population is currently at risk of Dengue, with an estimated number of infections between 100 and 400 million per year. The risk concerns all populations in the areas where mosquitoes vectoring the virus are present and the WHO aims to tackle emerging arboviruses, with epidemic potential, by monitoring the risk.

In the 2023 Report of Epicentro (Istituto Superiore di Sanità), in Italy, 236 cases of Dengue were confirmed, of which 36 were indigenous (as of 27 September 2023).

The indigenous infections (locally) would have occurred on three different occasions, not connected to each other. The first outbreak in the province of Lodi with 25 confirmed cases, another in the province of Latina with 2 infections and a third in the province of Rome where 9 cases were identified with exposures in different parts of the city which required investigations, which are still ongoing , to verify any epidemiological links. All patients whose health conditions are known are recovered or improving.

Consulting the latest data from the Istituto Superiore di Sanità available online, the dashboard also shows 200 cases of Dengue imported from other countries. The autochthonous transmission of the virus, albeit in the presence of a limited number of cases, is evolving.

Meanwhile, as reported in the information released by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità itself, disinfestation activities against mosquitoes continue and all the preventive measures envisaged to protect transplants and transfusions have been activated.​

Since the beginning of the year, 273 cases of Dengue imported from other countries have also been reported, also an increase compared to the 212 in the previous survey. This is what emerges from the Dengue fever bulletin updated on 16 October by the Higher Institute of Health (ISS).

The indigenous transmission of the virus, albeit in the presence of a limited number of cases, is evolving, highlights the ISS. Disinfestation activities against mosquitoes continue and, in the areas where local transmission has occurred, all the preventive measures required to protect transplants and transfusions have been activated.

The ISS recommends 'protecting yourself from mosquito bites during the hours of maximum density and avoiding all situations that may favor their development'.​
