夏威夷通报今年第11例境外输入登革热病例
夏威夷州卫生厅11月4日通报，欧胡岛新发现一例境外输入登革热病例，使夏威夷州今年累计登革热病例达到11例。卫生厅表示，这名患者是在前往登革热流行地区旅行期间感染病毒，与夏威夷此前报告的病例之间没有发现关联。卫生厅已派出工作组前往相关区域开展检查并实施灭蚊措施，提醒当地居民注意清除积水、防范蚊虫叮咬。登革热由蚊子传播，症状包括发热、头痛、关节痛和皮疹，多数患者可自行康复，但少数可能发展为重症。卫生厅指出，今年报告的11例病例中，10例与前往太平洋岛国和地区旅行有关，另1例与前往太平洋以外登革热流行地区旅行有关，均为境外输入，州内尚未发现本地传播链。卫生厅呼吁近期到过登革热流行地区的居民如出现疑似症状，应及时就医并告知旅行史，同时配合卫生部门的蚊虫防控工作。

Hawaii Reports 11th Travel-Related Dengue Case of the Year
The Hawaii Department of Health reported on November 4 a new travel-related dengue case on Oahu, bringing the state's total for the year to 11. The department said the patient was infected while traveling to a region where dengue is endemic, and that no link has been found to previously reported cases in Hawaii. Health teams have been sent to the relevant area for inspections and mosquito control, and residents are reminded to eliminate standing water and guard against mosquito bites. Dengue is spread by mosquitoes; symptoms include fever, headache, joint pain and rash. Most patients recover on their own, though a small number can develop severe illness. Of the 11 cases reported this year, the department said, 10 were linked to travel to Pacific island countries and territories and one to travel to a dengue-endemic region outside the Pacific; all were imported, and no local transmission chain has been found in the state. The department urged residents who have recently traveled to dengue-endemic areas to seek medical care promptly if symptoms appear, tell providers about their travel history, and cooperate with mosquito control efforts.
