“…Según las bases científicas, se aumenta la posibilidad de proliferación vectorial al almacenar agua, ya que ciertos insectos consiguen condiciones favorables para desarrollarse. Rojas et al, (2021) y García-Maldonado et al, (2021) reportaron que el agua limpia almacenada son criaderos ideales para el Aedes y otros mosquitos. Otra particularidad, es el hecho que la falta de agua impide la realización de la limpieza adecuada en el hogar, lo que se ha asociado a la proliferación de vectores mecánicos, las moscas, suelen alimentarse de materia podrida, así como de heces fecales, al estar en contacto con una fuente de alimento infectado con bacterias, virus o parásitos, estos se acumulan en sus esófagos o aparatos digestivos.…”

Access to water and sanitation services is a very important factor in the control and elimination of diseases, water scarcity can be a social construction or a consequence of variation, such as climate change, therefore, it is necessary to implement strategies that Provide tools to citizens to mitigate this problem. In this sense, an educational strategy was designed to address water deficiency in Huancayo, from which the motivational degree of Salesian teachers was assessed. An investigation was carried out from the participatory diagnostic method, the vulnerability of knowledge was estimated and areas based on scientific documentation were established to direct the approach strategies. Subsequently, the motivational degree of teachers was specified, obtaining a higher motivational degree for interventions related to personal, domestic and food hygiene, and less motivation for responsible pet ownership and vector control. It is inferred that it is necessary to strengthen the capacities in these areas of knowledge, so that in this way the health approach is effective and efficient, this starting from the fact that motivation is the engine that can promote other skills and urge behavioral changes necessary to reduce the burden of diseases associated with water deficiency.

ObjectiveSevere dengue is a significant health problem in Latin America, with children being the most affected. Understanding risk factors for severe dengue is crucial for enhancing patient care. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the literature to identify the risk factors associated with severe dengue in Latin America through systematic review and meta‐analysis.MethodsPubMed, SciELO, LILACS and EMBASE databases were used to search for eligible scientific articles for the review. The outcomes considered were symptoms of severe dengue, hospitalisation and death. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist was used to assess the quality of the studies. Data analysis was performed using STATA v 13.0 software. The degree of heterogeneity between studies was quantified using the I2 measure, and statistically significant results were defined as those with p values <0.05.ResultsOf the 1876 articles screened, 47 articles were included in the systematic review and 45 articles were analysed through meta‐analysis. Identified risk factors associated with severe dengue included secondary dengue infection, female sex, white or Caucasian ethnicity and specific signs and symptoms such as headache, myalgia and/or arthralgia, vomiting/nausea, abdominal pain or tenderness, diarrhoea, prostration, lethargy, fatigue or similar. For the death outcome, respiratory symptoms and age <18 years were identified as risk factors. On the other hand, in women, the diagnosis of positive tourniquet test, platelet count <100,000 per μL and symptoms of capillary fragility were associated with a lower probability of death. These data highlight the importance of early screening of patients, to identify possible haemorrhagic signs and reduce deaths from dengue. This study has limitations, including possible publication bias, heterogeneity of results and study design biases.ConclusionThese findings are significant for shaping strategies, management approaches and identifying high‐risk groups, which will help establish future guidelines.
