There is dengue throughout the tropics. The Keys are very nearly tropical although I am not sure if this is technically true and I am too lazy to look it up. There have been rare cases in Hawaii even though it is the most geographically isolated archipelligo on earth. Most cases are relatively mild and are probably passed off as a "viral syndrome." However severe cases do occur. The fact that there have been 27 cases a year would not keep me from Key West, or anywhere else for that matter. It would make me use DEET while I was there.
