<![CDATA[Dengue fever is an infectious disease that has a significant impact on public health in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Early detection and proper classification of DHF patients is essential to reduce severity and mortality. For this reason, a method that can improve the accuracy in diagnosing this disease is needed. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Naïve Bayes (NB) are two commonly used techniques in medical data analysis. PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality of data to reduce complexity, while Naïve Bayes is used for classification of data based on probability. This study aims to optimize the use of PCA and Naïve Bayes in improving the accuracy of the dengue patient classification model. The method used in this study involves processing a medical dataset of dengue patients containing various clinically relevant attributes. The dataset was then processed using PCA to reduce dimensionality and identify key features that affect classification. Next, Naïve Bayes was applied to classify the data based on the selected features. This study compares the performance of classification models that use a combination of PCA and Naïve Bayes with models that only use Naïve Bayes without dimensionality reduction. The results show that the use of PCA in data processing significantly improves the accuracy of the classification model compared to the model that only uses Naïve Bayes. The combination of PCA and Naïve Bayes produces a more efficient model and has a higher accuracy rate in identifying patients with DHF risk. Thus, the application of PCA and Naïve Bayes in the classification of DHF patients can be an effective tool in assisting the medical diagnosis process, which in turn can reduce misdiagnosis and improve patient recovery rates. This research contributes to the development of artificial intelligence technology in the medical field, especially to improve the accuracy of dengue disease diagnosis, and serves as a basis for further research in the use of machine learning techniques in healthcare. This study analyzes the performance of the Naïve Bayes algorithm in classifying dengue fever patient data, by comparing models that use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a dimension reduction method and models that do not use it. The results show that the Naïve Bayes model without PCA has an accuracy of 49.96%, which is close to the random guess rate. This finding indicates that the model is less effective in recognizing patterns in the data. In contrast, the application of PCA successfully increased the model's accuracy to 50.03%]]>
