TLDR
The reported number of incident dengue cases by age and sex for six countries in Asia indicated the importance of reporting data stratified by both sex and age since collapsing the data over all ages would have masked some of the male-female differences.Abstract:
Discussion. These data indicated the importance of reporting data stratified by both sex and age since collapsing the data over all ages would have masked some of the male-female differences. In order to target preventive measures appropriately, assessment of gender by age is important for dengue because biological or gender-related factors can change over the human lifespan and gender-related factors may differ across countries.read more

Evolution of dengue in Sri Lanka—changes in the virus, vector, and climate
TL;DR: There is a regular incidence of dengue fever (DF)/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) throughout the year, with the highest incidence during the rainy months, and it is important to implement effective vector control programs in the country.

Epidemiology of Dengue Disease in Malaysia (2000-2012): A Systematic Literature Review
TL;DR: The epidemiology of dengue disease in Malaysia was characterized by a non-linear increase in the number of reported cases from 7,103 in 2000 to 46,171 in 2010, and a shift in the age range predominance from children toward adults, and several gaps in epidemiological knowledge were identified.

TL;DR: The results suggest that even though viral diseases are a major public health concern, they are not given due recognition as a cause of fever in febrile patients and emphasis on laboratory diagnostic tests for proper diagnosis and management of febRIle patients is recommended.

Clinico-laboratory spectrum of dengue viral infection and risk factors associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever: a retrospective study

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DF and DHF present significantly different clinico-laboratory profile and prior knowledge of expected clinical profile and predictors of DHF/DSS development would provide information to identify individuals at higher risk and give sufficient time to clinicians for reducing dengue related morbidity and mortality.
