Persistent Dengue Symptoms and Economic Burden Estimates for Mexico

Mexico-specific data underpinning a 2016 study on the incremental disease and economic burden of persistent dengue symptoms. The dataset, 251.3 KB in size, contains disaggregated data from the published research by Tiga et al. Author JOSE RAMOS-CASTAÑEDA uploaded the files, which include DOCX and XLS formats, to figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Estimating the incremental economic burden of dengue based on disaggregated cost data.
• Analyzing the prevalence and impact of persistent dengue symptoms mentioned in the study.
• Modeling disease burden for dengue in Mexico using the underlying study figures.
• Conducting comparative health economics research on vector-borne diseases.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
• The dataset is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Files are provided in common, accessible formats (DOCX, XLS).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small at 251.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Freshness should be verified; the last update date is 2026-04-23, which may be a placeholder.
