Title
Endemic viral infections in immunocompromised hosts: Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika
Abstract
Educational and preventive measures are the best strategy: vector control, knowledge of the vector’s habits, protection against mosquito bites, avoiding travel to endemic areas or with a current epidemic, and avoiding nonvector transmission according to local recommendations for donor deferral. Vaccination, currently only available for DENV, has not yet been studied in immunocompromised patients and is not currently recommended.
