Frequency of dengue among different immunocompromised patient cohorts varied from 0.3% to 6.3%. Of 1182 dengue cases, 664 had autoimmune diseases, 388 were post-solid organ transplant (SOT), 20 post-stem cell transplant (HSCT), 28 had haematological malignancies, 24 non-haematological malignancies and 58 were HIV-positive. Severe dengue and mortality were estimated at 0.27 [0.22\u20130.33] and 0.14 [0.10\u20130.18], decreasing to 0.16 [0.09\u20130.27] and 0.04 [0.03\u20130.05] when very high risk or small-sample studies were excluded. Twenty-three (5.6%) of post-transplant dengue patients were considered as donor-related. Mortality reached 66.7% in HSCT and 10% in SOT. Dengue RNA was detectable up to four months in blood and up to two years in urine; viable virus was isolated from urine at nine months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dengue in immunocompromised, especially HSCT, is associated with high severity and mortality.
