Laboratory confirmed indigenous dengue cases in Kaohsiung, Taiwan detected through the two surveillance systems in Kaohsiung Department of Health and Taiwan-CDC, from 11 July 2009 to 13 February 2010.

<p>The two surveillance systems include clinical and serological surveillance systems. Clinically unreported cases or patients who had not visited medical care may be picked up by a case-finding approach through epidemiological investigation and serological surveillance. In the past, additional blood samples of neighbors, work colleagues, and staff and students at schools must be taken by local public health personnel as part of epidemiological investigation for dengue tests through serological surveillance, once a dengue case is laboratory confirmed. However, the serological surveillance effort in Kaohsiung from 2009 through 2010 collected only family members of confirmed cases who voluntarily gave blood samples but not all neighbors, work colleagues, and school classmates and teachers with an epidemiological link with the confirmed cases due to budget cut.</p
