Introduction: Dengue is an arbovirus that continues to cause serious public health problems in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the planet.

Results: DENV-3 was the only serotype identified. Conclusions: In this study, 83% of children examined were negative for dengue by RT-PCR, suggesting the occurrence of other febrile illnesses that need to be determined. |
