<p>Dengue case numbers in the United Kingdom were provided annually to the European
Centre for Disease Prevention and Control until 2019, which is the most recent data
available. This information showed there were 827 dengue cases in the UK in 2019.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) holds data on dengue infections in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland, comprised of laboratory reports from the UKHSA’s Rare
and Imported Pathogens Laboratory at Porton Down. However, the UKHSA does not routinely
receive information on outcomes and clinical details, including information on symptoms,
deaths and risk groups for these cases. In the event of an apparent increase in dengue
cases, the UKHSA would undertake additional investigations.</p>
