A number of young people from an Auckland youth group visiting Samoa are believed to have come down with dengue fever.
Malaeola is the largest group at this week's Catholic youth celebration.
Talamua Online reports 10 of them are under the care of a local doctor after falling ill with what's suspected to be dengue fever.
The doctor's home has been made into a make-shift clinic.
A member of the group says most of the patients complained of diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and numbness after the second day of the Youth Camp at the Catholic Church Pastoral Centre at Leauva'a.
There's concern more may be infected because of the number of people staying at the centre for the rally.
