Epidemia de dengue em Fortaleza, Ceará: inquérito soro-epidemiológico aleatório

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Seguindo-se à epidemia de dengue (DEN), em 1994, em Fortaleza, Ceará, causada pelo sorotipo 2 (DEN-2), realizou-se inquérito soro-epidemiológico aleatório para avaliar e dimensionar o impacto da mesma e a prevalência do dengue por distrito sanitário. MÉTODO: Foi aplicado questionário contendo informações gerais, condições socio-econômicas, informações sobre o quadro clínico e tempo de doença. A amostra foi calculada para estimar uma prevalência de 20%, com erro relativo de 10%, e intervalo de confian… Show more

“…Thus, it is no coincidence that even only 25 years since reemergence of dengue, Brazil has become the country of the world that produces the most cases. Based on different serological surveys in the country 20,21,22 , important population contingents already have antibodies to one or more of its serotypes. Brazil has broad stretches of territory with highly favorable climate for the proliferation of Ae.…”

“…The current way of life for Brazilian urban populations has generated (on an exponential scale) the habitats for Ae. aegypti 13,24,25 to lay its eggs and thus to proliferate both in areas with deficient sanitation and in other areas with adequate sanitation, thus facilitating intense viral transmission 20,21,22 .…”

“…Studies targeted to detect dengue virus serotypes in mosquitoes using viral isolation or RT-PCR procedures in Brazil have been published elsewhere (Nogueira et al 1988, Vasconcelos et al 1998, Lourenço-de-Oliveira et al 2002). Some of them were restrict to epidemiological data analysis when the epidemic has already established itself.…”
