Abstract
This study was executed to identify the specific clinical symptoms associated with dengue in Saint Lucia. A retrospective, non-experimental study was designed using syndromic surveillance data from the Ministry of Health and Wellness Saint Lucia from 2009-2017. Results allowed the demonstration of a significant relationship between undifferentiated fever, acute respiratory infections or fever with respiratory signs, gastroenteritis, and dengue. These results potentially can be used by clinicians in Saint Lucia to more quickly identify cases of dengue that may have otherwise not have included dengue in an initial differential diagnoses list, especially in light of a current regional dengue epidemic.
