Epidemiology (2012-2019) and costs (2009-2019) of dengue in Malaysia: A systematic literature review

Objectives: A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the epidemiology and economic bur-den of dengue in Malaysia. Methods: Embase, MEDLINE, Evidence-Based Reviews databases, and gray literature sources were searched for English and Malay studies and surveillance reports on the epidemio...

Methods: Embase, MEDLINE, Evidence-Based Reviews databases, and gray literature sources were searched for English and Malay studies and surveillance reports on the epidemiology (between 2012 and 2019) and costs (between 2009 and 2019) of dengue in Malaysia.

Dengue in-cidence has been increasing in recent years, with 130,101 cases (dengue fever 129,578 cases; dengue hem-orrhagic fever 523 cases) reported in 2019, which is the highest since 2012. All dengue virus serotypes co-circulated between 2004 and 2017, and major outbreaks occurred in a cyclical pattern, often associ-ated with a change in the predominant circulating serotype.
