Several cases of dengue have been reported in Tuscany in recent weeks among people who had recently travelled to Asia. Local health authorities are monitoring the situation and, where necessary, have introduced targeted mosquito-control measures in the areas where patients have stayed.
Dengue commonly causes fever and flu-like symptoms and generally resolves within about a week. Serious complications are relatively uncommon.
The latest case was reported in Orentano, in the province of Pisa. The patient, an Indian citizen who had recently returned from India, was already experiencing symptoms when he arrived in Italy. He is currently being treated at Cisanello Hospital in Pisa. Following the case, Orentano Mayor Fabio Mini ordered disinfestation in the areas where the patient had stayed. Pisa Mayor Michele Conti subsequently issued a further order for mosquito-control measures within a 200-metre radius of Cisanello Hospital.
Other cases have been reported in Tuscany since the end of August, with patients being monitored by the local health authorities responsible for their areas of residence...
