I am hundreds if not thousands of dengue cases in other countries,but this is the first in a long time for the USA



A woman has been diagnosed in Las Vegas with dengue fever, a potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease that is not spread person to person.

There is no evidence to suggest the local population has anything to worry about, said Jennifer Sizemore, a spokeswoman for the Southern Nevada Health District.

"We were able to confirm this morning that we have received a report of a case of dengue fever," Sizemore said Monday.

"This person had a travel history to indicate she got it outside of the U.S.," she said. "There is no evidence that there was a transmission locally."
