Have just heard that there are 5 patients currently in Cabrera's clinic being treated for Dengue. Two of these are confirmed. Another had just returned to the states and is being treated there. And yet another case here just last month (also Cabrera) of a friend's 15 year old who contracted it, was hospitalized, treated, and is recovering well.
Just thought I'd pass it along as most of the cases I've read about here have been around Santiago, Sosua and elsewhere, and it also seems like a lot of people now for our tiny town. (CDC recommends a spray with 30-35% DEET).

there are lots of dengue cases all over the country, nothing to panic about.

Doesn't WilliamWebster live in Cabrera? He's probably one of the 5 being mentioned. And his wife is being treated in Philadelphia

My mother-in-law got dengue in Santo Domingo, so yes, it's everywhere.

3 People on our short block here in Bavaro have just recently recovered. The mom and her 2 yr old daughter spent 5 days in the hospital.
