Dengue virus transmitted by Aedes mosquito is one of the important cause health problems in world. Dengue fever and more severe and often fatal forms namely dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome are emerging health problems in many part of the globe. No cases of Dengue virus infection have been reported from Nepal till date and for the first time, we report a case of dengue fever from Nepal.
