A dengue fever outbreak has left more than 100 people infected Mombasa, county health executive Khadija Shikelly said. “This is to notify you that there is a dengue fever outbreak in Mombasa County and we therefore need to respond effectively and in a coordinated approach to contain the outbreak,"Shikelly said. In 2011, Mandera, reported heightened cases of dengue fever and the same were attributed to have trickled down from neighbouring country Somalia which had reported several cases in the previous months. Dengue fever is a disease spread by mosquitoes. Dengue fever has no treatment or vaccination.
