T1 - Age and Clinical Dengue Illness T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 6 SP - 924 SN - 1080-6059 AB - The relationship between age and risk for classic dengue fever has never been quantified. We use data from clinical patients to show that the relative risk of having classical disease after primary dengue virus infection increases with age. This relationship has implications for strategies aimed at controlling dengue fever.
