Excerpt
Introduction Haemorrhagic fevers are of great concern to countries in the Western Pacific and South-East Asia regions, where epidemics have been occurring and spreading during the last decade. An epidemic of haemorrhagic fever in children was first reported in Manila in 1964; since then the disease has been recognized in many other towns in the Philippines. In 1958 a serious epidemic occurred in Bangkok; further outbreaks have occmred annually with peaks every two years. At first the disease was restricted to urban areas in the central plain and the south-east and south-west coastal towns of Thailand, but in 1964 outbreaks were reported from towns in the north and northeast. The disease has affected mainly children in the age-group 3-14 years. In 1960 some cases in young adults were observed in Singapore; annual outbreaks have continued to occur since that time and the age distribution pattern has changed so that the younger age-groups are now primarily affected. More recently, outbreaks have been reported in Malaysia, Viet-Nam and eastern India.
