  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he significant malaria burden in {A}frica has often eclipsed other febrile illnesses. {B}urkina {F}aso's first dengue epidemic occurred in 1925 and the most recent in 2013. {Y}et there is still very little known about dengue prevalence, its vector proliferation, and its poverty and equity impacts. {M}ethods: {A}n exploratory cross-sectional survey was performed from {D}ecember 2013 to {J}anuary 2014. {S}ix primary healthcare centers in {O}uagadougou were selected based on previously reported presence of {F}lavivirus. {A}ll patients consulting with fever or having had fever within the previous week and with a negative rapid diagnostic test ({RDT}) for malaria were invited to participate. {S}ociodemographic data, healthcare use and expenses, mobility, health-related status, and vector control practices were captured using a questionnaire. {B}lood samples of every eligible subject were obtained through finger pricks during the survey for dengue {RDT} using {SD} {BIOLINE} {D}engue {D}uo ({NS}1{A}g and {I}g{G}/{I}g{M})({R}) and to obtain blood spots for reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ({RT}-{PCR}) analysis. {I}n a sample of randomly selected yards and those of patients, potential {A}edes breeding sites were found and described. {L}arvae were collected and brought to the laboratory to monitor the emergence of adults and identify the species. {R}esults: {O}f the 379 subjects, 8.7 % (33/379) had positive {RDT}s for dengue. {F}ollowing the 2009 {WHO} classification, 38.3 % (145/379) had presumptive, probable, or confirmed dengue, based on either clinical symptoms or laboratory testing. {O}f 60 samples tested by {RT}-{PCR} (33 from the positive tests and 27 from the subsample of negatives), 15 were positive. {T}he serotypes observed were {DENV}2, {DENV}3, and {DENV}4. {O}dds of dengue infection in 15-to-20-year-olds and persons over 50 years were 4.0 ({CI} 95 %: 1.0-15.6) and 7.7 ({CI} 95 %: 1.6-37.1) times higher, respectively, than in children under five. {A}verage total spending for a dengue episode was 13 771 {FCFA} [1 300-67 300 {FCFA}] (1${US} = 478 {FCFA}). {O}n average, 2.6 breeding sites were found per yard. {P}otential {A}edes breeding sites were found near 71.4 % (21/28) of patients, but no adult {A}edes were found. {T}he most frequently identified potential breeding sites were water storage containers (45.2 %). {M}ost specimens collected in yards were {C}ulex (97.9 %). {C}onclusions: {T}he scientific community, public health authorities, and health workers should consider dengue as a possible cause of febrile illness in {B}urkina {F}aso.},
