Macao's Health Bureau (HB) Tuesday announced that the region
registered the second imported dengue fever case this year.
The victim, a 19-year-old student, had visited Thailand in July.
After returning to Macao, she came down with a fever and later
developed a rash.
The teenager's conditions were stated as "satisfactory" in
hospital and the family who traveled with her to Thailand have
shown no symptoms of the disease.
The HB urged travelers who develop a fever on return to Macao to
seek immediate medical advice.
