2018: Dengue fever figures on the increase

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I don't know the "third strike you're outta here" stuff is true, or more of an urban legend. But I do know after talking to a couple of doctors from the States who were working here in Cambodia at the time said that, each time you come down with Dengue Fever it does more harm to your body than the last time. So, obviously an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Just before my return to europe to actually do some work, 5yr old step-son came down with Dengue, but fortunately, despite some obvious haemorrhage, he came through quite rapidly.

Thinking back now, I wonder if some of the unregulated fake 'Doctors' who may be little better qualified than pharmacists assistants may have been masking the problem earlier when the younger daughter was diagnosed with 'fever, have a serum drip' earlier in the summer.

Anyone have information on which dengue sterotypes are circulating in Cambodia currently ? There are 4 or 5 different dengue sterotypes apparently.
A friend with dengue would like to know. He was only told that he tested positive.
