An estimate of the global health care and lost productivity costs of dengue

Frederic W Selck et al. Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis. 2014 Nov.

Abstract

Contemporary cost estimates of dengue fever are difficult to attain in many countries in which the disease is endemic. By applying publicly available health care costs and wage data to recently available country-level estimates of dengue incidence, we estimate the total cost of dengue to be nearly 40 billion dollars in 2011.

Keywords: Dengue fever; Global cost estimate.
