Queensland Health's confirmed two women .. from the suburbs of North Ward and Deeragun
.. have been diagnosed with type two of the dengue virus.
They're the first locally acquired cases in the city since December.

the two cases it's likely more will come to light.
He says one of the women's recovered and the other's still being treated.
