Epidemiology and severity risk factors of dengue virus infection during the 2023-2024 outbreak in Colombia
This outbreak involved multiple dengue virus serotypes and genotypes and predominantly affected children and adolescents. Identification of the risk factors described here could enable earlier recognition of patients with serious dengue manifestations. In this cohort, serotype 2 was associated with higher risk but given the unpredictable dynamics of severe dengue, efforts should strive for tetravalent protection, regardless of prior dengue exposure.
