SUMMARY - The country of Brazil is expecting an "enormous outbreak" of Dengue fever this season based upon what other nations in South America are experiencing so far. Dengue fever is a virus spread by mosquitoes. The southernmost states in Brazil are already experiencing high numbers of cases. Severe Dengue fever, if left untreated, has a 15% mortality rate, although typical mortality rates are between 2% and 5%.
