Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to detect acute febrile episodes and dengue infection in five Latin American countries to assess dengue seroprevalence.

Primary objectives:

* To identify acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection.

* To describe the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.
