“…Living in the countryside and working outdoors, such as on a farm with animals, were facilitators of acute DENV infection in adults ( 41 ). More than one circulating DENV serotype and the presence of vectors are risk factors for these arboviruses ( 42 ). A second epidemic wave may be a facilitating factor for infection, especially for CHIKV, and is associated with more severe cases of the disease ( 43 ).…”

Objectives. To characterize the distribution profile of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus infections in Latin America and the Caribbean and to identify possible factors associated with the risk of dissemination and severity of these arboviruses. Methods. The protocol of this review was registered on the PROSPERO platform. Searches were carried out in the following databases: Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Embase. The search terms were: Zika virus, Zika virus infection, dengue, dengue virus, chikungunya virus, chikungunya fever, epidemiology, observational study, Latin America, and Caribbean region. Studies that addressed the distribution of these arboviruses and the risk factors associated with dengue, Zika virus disease, and chikungunya, published between January 2000 and August 2020 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, were included. Results. Of 95 studies included, 70 identified risk factors, clinical manifestations, and outcomes for arbovirus infections and 25 described complications and/or deaths. The highest frequency of confirmed cases was for dengue. Brazil reported most cases of the three arboviruses in the period analyzed. Environmental and socioeconomic factors facilitated the proliferation and adaptation of vectors, and host-related factors were reported to aggravate dengue. Most deaths were due to chikungunya, Zika virus disease caused most neurological alterations, and dengue resulted in greater morbidity leading to more frequent hospitalization. Conclusions. The review provides a broad view of the three arboviruses and the intrinsic aspects of infections, and highlights the factors that influence the spread of these viruses in the populations studied.

“…This trend becomes an even more worrisome factor when it comes to the contexts imposed by globalization, where infected individuals move from endemic regions to places where dengue presents controlled epidemiological data or where a different serotype is circulating. Thus, the clinical and molecular surveillance of dengue is needed in both endemic and nonendemic regions to support public health measures to control the disease [ 28 ].…”

Dengue as a Disease Threatening Global Health: A Narrative Review Focusing on Latin America and Brazil

Arboviruses constitute the largest known group of viruses. These viruses are the etiological agents of pathologies known as arboviruses, with dengue being one of the most prevalent. Dengue has resulted in important socioeconomic burdens placed on different countries around the world, including those in Latin America, especially Brazil. Thus, this work intends to carry out a narrative-based review of the literature, conducted using a study of the secondary data developed through a survey of scientific literature databases, and to present the situation of dengue, particularly its distribution in these localities. Our findings from the literature demonstrate the difficulties that managers face in controlling the spread of and planning a response against dengue, pointing to the high cost of the disease for public coffers, rendering the resources that are already limited even scarcer. This can be associated with the different factors that affect the spread of the disease, including ecological, environmental, and social factors. Thus, in order to combat the disease, it is expected that targeted and properly coordinated public policies need to be adopted not only in specific localities, but also globally.

“…Fiestas encontró que las causas de gravedad fueron hipotensión (69%) y extravasación de plasma, manifestada como dificultad respiratoria (30%) 3 . Guerra y colaboradores encontraron que los signos que se relacionaron con gravedad fueron: manifestaciones hemorrágicas y extravasación de plasma manifestada como un incremento brusco del hematocrito 20 . Vicente y Col en Brasil encontraron que el dengue grave se asocia con la edad, encontrando mayor porcentaje en los ancianos con dengue severo que en otros grupos de edad, aumentando en períodos de DENV-2 21 .…”

RESUMEN Investigación de tipo no experimental y diseño retrospectivo que tuvo como objetivo principal describir las características clínico-epidemiológicas de los pacientes adultos con dengue en Trujillo. Se revisaron historias clínicas de los pacientes con dengue atendidos en los hospitales MINSA nivel III de la ciudad de Trujillo. De 141 pacientes seleccionados, se encontró que el 64% fueron mujeres, el promedio de edad fue 35.5 años y el grupo etáreo más afectado fue el comprendido entre los 18-30 años (51%). La procedencia más común fueron de los distritos de El Porvenir (25.5%) y Florencia de Mora (20.6%). 91% de los casos fueron pacientes con de ngue con signos de alarma. Los hallazgos clínicos y de laboratorio más comunes fueron cefalea (76.7%), plaquetopenia (75.2%). Los signos de alarma más frecuentes fueron: plaquetopenia (82.2%), dolor abdominal (64.3%). Palabras clave: Dengue, Características clínico-epidemiológicas. SUMMARY Non-experimental, retrospective design study whose main objective was to describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of adult patients with dengue in Trujillo. Medical records of dengue patients treated at MINSA level III hospitals in Trujillo were reviewed. Of 141 selected patients, it was found that 64% were women, the average age was 35.5 yearsold and the most affected age group was between 18-30 years (51%). The most common origin was from the districts of El Porvenir (25.5%) and Florencia de Mora (20.6%). 91% of the cases were dengue patients with warning signs. The most common clinical and laboratory findings were headache (76.7%), thrombocytopenia (75.2%). The most frequent warning signs were: thrombocytopenia (82.2%), abdominal pain (64.3%).
