" Queensland Health (QH) is on alert for another outbreak of dengue fever, with another case confirmed in Cairns.
A resident of the Cairns suburb of Parramatta Park has been diagnosed with type two dengue fever.
QH says it is awaiting test results on several other suspected cases in the same suburb.
The potentially fatal virus is spread by mosquitos.
QH medical director Dr Jeffrey Hanna says people with symptoms including sudden fever, severe headaches, a rash, muscle and joint pain should see a doctor.
