: Dengue has not reached an endemic status in Taiwan; nevertheless, we have implemented a fever
screening program at airports for the early detection of febrile passengers with a dengue infection. This study is
intended to assess the performance of the airport screening procedures for dengue infection.
Methods: We analyzed data from the national surveillance system of the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control. We
included the imported dengue cases reported by sentinel airports and clinics as well as the domestic cases from
2007–2010
