Case report: Clinical presentation of imported cases of dengue: a case series

Dengue is the most common viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Dengue is a growing global health problem due to its rapid spread and increasing number of cases in recent decades. The disease is now endemic in over 100 countries, putting a significant portion of the world’s population at risk. In this report, we present a series of cases of dengue virus infection recorded in Serbia. The aim of the paper is to present the clinical picture of the disease, diagnostic procedures, and treatment methods, thereby placing our findings in the context of current epidemiological and transmission trends. In summary, these cases reinforce the need for ongoing awareness, timely diagnostic evaluation, and coordinated public health measures for the purpose of mitigating the risk of dengue introduction and its potential autochthonous transmission in Serbia. The findings contribute meaningful clinical and epidemiological insight to the limited but growing body of local knowledge on dengue in Southeastern Europe.
