.6; p=0.0001, RM: 19.6). La regresión de Poisson no reveló correlación de la infección reciente con edad, sexo, ni con nivel socioeconómico. Conclusiones. En comunidades infestadas por A aegypti, como Colima, pueden ocurrir infecciones continuas por dengue sin epidemia aparente. Dichas infecciones no parecen asociarse con la edad, el sexo, ni con el nivel socioeconómico, pero sí con el cuadro clínico, el cual podría considerarse como indicador precoz de posible transmisión interepidémica. El texto completo en inglés de este artículo está disponible en: http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html The sample population consisted of 245 subjects. The following were recorded for each subject: sex, age, socio-economic level and dengue fever symptoms, testing for serum IgG and IgM antidengue, using quick immunochromatography as well as ELISA tests, in a seven-month follow-up period. Results. Twelve individuals showed recent dengue infection (incidence: 1.77%; 95%: confidence interval 0.9-3.1%). Of these, eight had recent clinical symptoms (χ 2 =19.6; p<0.0001, odss ratio 19.6). Poisson regression analysis showed no evidence of correlation between recent infection and sex, age, or socioeconomic level. Conclusions. Communities infested with A. aegypti, like Colima, may continually exhibit dengue infection with no apparent epidemic. Such infections are seemingly not associated with age, sex, or socioeconomic level, but with clinical symptoms. This situation could be considered an early indicator of interepidemic transmission.
