FIJI'S first recorded dengue fever case was in 1885.
Since then, the country had outbreaks every 10 years.
This was part of findings of a collaborative study between the Fiji School of Medicine and the Ministry of Health on Fiji's unrelenting plagues - dengue, leptospirosis and typhoid fever.

FIJI has one of the highest rates of typhoid fever in the world says WHO South Pacific Communicable Disease Survelliance and Response Team Leader Doctor Jacob Kool.
In his presentation at the Fiji College of General Practitioners conference at the Warwick Fiji Resort & Spa, he said typhoid fever was difficult to diagnose an could be fatal in 10 to 20 per cent of untreated patients.
"Recent studies show that infants are commonly affected and are extremely vulnerable to the disease. Outbreaks occur regularly in areas wth poor hygiene and sanitation including urban slums," he said.
