      I think it’s probably “bone pain” scrambled in translation, since it’s a dengue fever outbreak.

      I suspect it’s a translation issue. @noisefree linked in another, less sensational article that says this is dengue fever. And the old name for dengue fever was “break-bone fever”, because of the massive amount of bone and joint pain it caused.
