Hillsborough nears 100 dengue cases as Florida reaches 111

Case totals

Nearly 100 dengue fever cases have been reported in Hillsborough County, according to figures reported by WFLA. The county’s total accounts for most of the 111 cases reported across Florida.

The figures identify Hillsborough County as the largest reported share of the statewide total in the development described by WFLA. The report does not establish whether the cases were reported during one specific day, week or longer period.

Statewide count

Florida’s reported total is 111 cases. Hillsborough County’s total is described as nearly 100, rather than with an exact number.

Those two figures are the central numbers in the report: nearly 100 cases in Hillsborough County and 111 across Florida. The statewide count includes the Hillsborough County cases.

What the figures show

The reported numbers place Hillsborough County at the center of the statewide dengue case count. They do not, by themselves, describe the cases’ locations within the county, when each case was reported or whether additional cases have been added since the figures were published.
