  10. MEANS (± STANDARD DEVIATIONS) OF COST COMPONENTS PER DENGUE CASE

  11. CONCLUSIONS The economic cost of dengue per case is substantial The main component of the cost is the hospital care, paid largely by government As the patients were children, the indirect costs were relatively small Other studies that focused only on out of pocket costs to households gave substantially smaller numbers
