Health officials confirm fourth case of dengue fever in Los Angeles County – NBC Los Angeles

Los Angeles County health officials announced Wednesday that a Panorama City resident is the latest locally transmitted case of dengue fever.

This is the fourth person to be infected with the mosquito-borne disease in Los Angeles County, with three cases confirmed in the Baldwin Park area in the last week alone.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said the latest case is unrelated to previous cases and the patient had no history of travel to areas where dengue fever is prevalent.

“Los Angeles County is experiencing unprecedented community transmission of dengue fever. Preventing mosquito bites and mosquito breeding is the best way to stop community transmission of dengue fever,” said Los Angeles County Health Commissioner Muntu Davis.

Last October and November, health officials in Pasadena and Long Beach confirmed one locally transmitted case of dengue fever each.

Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito, and can cause flu-like symptoms, including high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, a rash, and mild bleeding.

Health officials said symptoms typically last between two and seven days, with recovery taking about a week.
