Since December 2006, 40 people have contracted the fever. The total number of dengue fever patients in the province of the year 2006 was reported at 1,230.

Md.Suwanchai said most patients are not aware that they have dengue fever as the symptoms are very similar to flu. However, dengue fever causes the patients to have high fever for 2-7 days without cough and sneeze. The carriers of dengue fever are of yellow fever mosquitoes.
