RESUMO
We describe the spread of a dengue virus during an outbreak in Saint Martin island (French West Indies) during winter 2003-2004. Dengue type 3 viruses were isolated from 6 patients exhibiting clinical symptoms. This serotype had not been detected on the island during the preceding 3 years. Genome sequence determinations and analyses showed a common origin with dengue type 3 viruses isolated in Martinique 2 years earlier.

RESUMO
Dengue type 3 viruses were isolated from patients in Martinique between 1999 and 2002. This serotype had not been detected on the island in the last 20 years. Genomic sequence determination and analysis showed great stability of the virus during the period studied.
