Abstract
In 1780, Philadelphia suffered an unusual outbreak of hemorrhagic fever, which years later
was identified as dengue (1). One hundred years later, in Memphis, 1500 people died from yellow fever, which caused residents to abandoned the city (2). Even though these stories may seem anecdotes, they show how dramatic hemorrhagic arbovirus outbreaks can be.
