Dengue Viral Infection and Associated Liver Disease

Dengue virus (DENV), an RNA virus that belongs to the genus Flavivirus, is transmitted primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.The disease is endemic in more than 100 countries, with the highest burden reported in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and tropical Latin America. 1 However, with the progression of climate change, the endemicity of the Aedes mosquito has been increasingly reported in non-tropical, formerly temperate areas of the world.
