Dengue fever

Can someone in the know please bring readers up to date on dengue fever in Key West? One of the recent articles i read in the Citizen said that a few people in old town had exhibited dengue-like symptoms this spring. Maybe the paper doesn't want to scare tourists away by saying that some folks actually have been diagnosed with "the fever," but in fact they have. And i know that at least one of them had not traveled anywhere outside of the keys where she might have contracted it.
Thanks in advance for any edification...
