“…In January 2001, an introduction of the serotype DENV-3 was confirmed in Brazil; this was isolated from an individual resident in Rio de Janeiro who had been sick in December 2000. This serotype was responsible for the 2002 epidemic in the country, when approximately 800,000 cases were notified, which represented approximately 80% of the occurrences in the American continent 8 .…”

Introduction:The dengue fever remains to be a disease of serious public health concern, and its incidence has increased in the past decades. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological incidence of dengue in the period [2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010]. Methods: This is an epidemiological study of dengue in the municipality of Aracaju, state of Sergipe, in the period between 2001 and 2010, whose data were obtained from the Information System of Diseases Notifications. A descriptive analysis of the number of confirmed cases of dengue, according to year, semester, sanitary district, age, and sex, was performed. Results: There were 16,462 confirmed cases, especially in 2008, which obtained the highest incidence of the disease, with 10,485 confirmed cases. The first semester obtained the highest registration of cases during the years of research; this was predominated by females between 15 and 49 years old. With regard to the territorial distribution, the second district of the municipality obtained the highest number of cases. Conclusions: In 2008, in the City of Aracaju, SE, a significant increase in the proportion of dengue cases compared with other years was verified. However, a fast decline in the other years was observed, possibly because of the intensification of preventive actions to combat the mosquito that transmits the dengue virus.

“…A mild disease, in spite of dual infection, has been observed by other authors and does not support the hypothesis that double infection with dengue viruses leads to more severe hemorrhagic disease (Gubler et al 1985, Santos et al 2003. Interestingly, DENV-2 and DENV-3 viruses have been well documented in severe cases in Brazil (Nogueira et al 2001(Nogueira et al , 2005. The serum was obtained two days after the onset of symptoms and the procedures for virus isolation and virus identification were performed using the protocol previously described by Nogueira et al (2001) using monoclonal antibodies.…”

“…Since 1986, dengue epidemics have been reported in Brazil, initially involving DENV-1 and after 1990, DENV-2. With the introduction of DENV-3 in 2000, three serotypes are now circulating in Brazil (Nogueira et al 2005). With the change in the epidemiological pattern that has occurred in approximately 30 years, the Americas, and more recently Brazil, can be considered a hyperendemic region, with multiple cocirculating serotypes.…”

“…A second major outbreak in Rio de Janeiro (Southeast region) was reported in 1986, and from there, DENV-1 spread to the Northeast and Midwest regions of the country. Subsequently, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4 were introduced into Brazil [6][7][8][9].…”
