Warden Message: São Paulo Consulate Vicinity Robberies
U.S. Consulate São Paulo issued the following Warden Message on March 8:

This warden message is to alert American citizens living in or traveling to Mato Grosso do Sul to an increased number of dengue fever cases in that area because of heavy rains. Since January 1st, 2007, 42,072 dengue cases have been recorded. There have been 28,032 cases in the city of Campo Grande alone. According to the latest update on February 26th, 2007, a total of six deaths from hemorrhagic dengue fever were confirmed in the cities of Aquidauana, Laguna Caarapã, Dourados, Tres Lagoas, Amambaí and Jardim. However, according to the Secretary of Health of Mato Grosso do Sul, the number of new cases is diminishing because of less rain recently. American citizens are reminded to take care when traveling to that area or, if possible, to postpone their trips to Mato Grosso do Sul to a later date. Further information on Dengue fever prevention and treatment is available from the Centers for Disease Control at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/dengue/.
