DF is divided into Dengue and severe Dengue, which include Dengue hemorrhagic fever(DHF) and Dengue shock syndrome(DSS). With an estimated 500 000 cases of life-threatening disease in the form of severe Dengue every year, most of them are children. Notably, there is the most serious DF outbreak in southern China at 2014. This review will summarize several aspects of Dengue virus and Dengue fever to provide the information to the colleagues.
