DENV = dengue virus; IgM = immunoglobulin M; NS1 RT = nonstructural protein 1 rapid test; SD = standard deviation. Characteristics of index cases and associates in 2014 and 2015: mean age (SD) and gender, febrile status, hospitalization status, and arbovirus infection status (DENV acute infection: NS1 RT, NS1 ELISA, or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive; DENV recent infection: IgM positive and NS1 RT/NS1 ELISA/RT-PCR negative; chikungunya virus and Zika virus confirmed by RT-PCR).
