    In one week, Minas Gerais registered an increase of 22,310 new probable cases of dengue. According to a bulletin released on Tuesday, from January to Monday (17), the State Department of Health (SES) has already been notified of 421,832 cases of the disease - 399,522 notifications last week. The numbers refer to the confirmed cases and the suspicions, not necessarily occurred this week, since the municipalities have a longer deadline to inform the folder of the occurrences.

    The report released by the bureau also indicates that the number of registered cases of this month is already the second largest for June, taking into account the data since 2010. This month, 8,817 probable cases have already been registered, representing an average of approximately 518 notifications per day.

    Despite the high numbers, dengue shows signs of weakening in Minas Gerais. In May, for example, the Health Department registered 124,401 cases of the disease and in April the number of notifications exceeded 150,000 - those two months are among the worst of the diseases in the last 10 years.

    Even so, this year's epidemic is already one of the worst in history. 2019 only loses to 2016, when, from January to December, 519,050 cases were registered.

    This year, there are already 77 deaths and 139 are under investigation to confirm if they were related to dengue. The highest number of deaths was registered in Belo Horizonte and Betim, in Grande BH. Both cities have 12 confirmed cases.

    They also recorded deaths: Arcos (1), Count (2), Curvelo (1), Frutal (2), Ibirit?

    Dengue matou 14 pessoas na Bahia em 2019; ano passado foram tr?s v?timas
    No Brasil ocorreu o triplo de ?bitos registrados no ano passado

    Dengue killed 14 people in Bahia in 2019; last year were three victims
    In Brazil there was a triple of deaths recorded last year

    The number of deaths confirmed by dengue in Bahia jumped from three cases last year to 14 deaths only in the first five months of 2019. Another 11 suspected cases may still be related to the same disease and are being investigated.

    According to the Secretariat of Health of the State of Bahia (Sesab), between December 30, 2018 and June 1, 2019, 33,487 probable situations of dengue in the state were reported.

    In the same period last year, 5,973 probable occurrences were reported, representing a 460.6% increase in the number of notifications.
    In total, 327 cities in Bahia have been notified of this offense. Of the 14 deaths confirmed this year, Feira de Santana, in the Center-North of the state, was the municipality with the highest number of occurrences. The Sert?o Princess reported seven cases of dengue, followed by Candeias (1), Rafael Jambeiro (1), Saubara (1), Jacobina (1) and Parapiranga (1). Salvador has had 2 confirmed cases so far.

    Data of Brazil

    Across the country, the number of dengue deaths this year is almost three times higher than in the same period of 2018. According to the Ministry of Health (MS) bulletin issued on June 5, deaths for dengue confirmed until May 27 in Brazil total 295. At the same time last year, the country had recorded 99 deaths from the disease.

    According to the MS bulletin, S?o Paulo and Minas Gerais are the states most affected by dengue fever and account for 68.3% of the probable cases of the disease, that is, those not yet confirmed in laboratory tests.

    The data from the bulletin of the epidemiological week 21 show that S?o Paulo had more than 320 thousand probable cases of dengue by the end of May of this year; while at this time last year were less than 9 thousand.

    Minas Gerais already recorded more than 322 thousand cases in the same period this year, compared to 20.2 thousand until May 2018.

    The numbers of dengue in Brazil in 2019:

    11 suspected dengue cases are under investigation in Bahia.

    460.6 is the increase in the number of reports of dengue in Bahia.

    According to data from Sesab, 33,487 probable cases of the disease were reported in the state until June 1 of this year.

    In 2018, in the same period, 5,973 probable occurrences of the arborirose transmitted by Aedes Aegypti were registered.

    Across Brazil, 295 people have died of dengue this year, nearly three times higher than deaths recorded in 2018, according to the Ministry of Health bulletin.

    Five times more

    The number of probable cases of dengue in Brazil this year is five times greater than in the same period of 2018, in a total of 965.04 thousand notifications, according to the Ministry of Health survey.

    States such as Paran? registered a jump of almost 4,000% in the probable cases, to 37 thousand. Tocantins, Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima and the Federal District had a 1,000% increase in probable cases of the disease.

    But, according to ministry estimates, the incidence of Aedes aegypti-related illnesses is expected to begin to decline this year, especially with the onset of winter.

    Zika and chikungunya

    The epidemiological bulletin of the Ministry of Health also counts cases of chikungunya and zika in Brazil. Along with dengue, the two diseases are the most prevalent arborivores in the country.

    The chikungunya had 15 deaths registered in 2019: 1 in Bahia, 13 in Rio de Janeiro and 1 in the Federal District. There are still 42 deaths under investigation in the state of Pernambuco. In all, there are more than 53 thousand probable cases of the disease in the whole country, number four thousand less than the 57 thousand recorded in the same period of 2018. Rio de Janeiro is the state with the highest number of cases: almost 36 thousand.

    Zika has not had confirmed deaths until the end of May, but adds up to 6,100 probable cases in the country.

    In the world, 6.1 billion people are at risk of contracting dengue by 2080, according to a study published in Nature Microbiology on June 10. the main factors that explain the phenomenon are global warming and population growth in endemic areas.

    The mosquito transmitter: The Aedes aegypti mosquito has shortened reproductive period and throws more eggs in the summer when it is hot. At this time of year it is also when it bites people more, transmitting the arboviruses dengue, zika and chikungunya. Global warming is altering the mosquito cycle because periods of high temperatures are longer.

    States are without insecticide against mosquito Aedes Aegypti

    The fight against the mosquito Aedes aegypti adult, responsible for transmitting dengue, zika and chikungunya may be impaired in the coming days in the country because, according to the Ministry of Health, some states of the federation are without the insecticide used against the vector.

    The most serious case of lack of insecticity is in Rio de Janeiro. In a note, the MS said that the Secretariat of Health Surveillance is working to minimize the problems caused by the lack of the product. Also according to the note, due to the shortage, there was the attempt to loan the insecticide with other countries in South America, but there was no product available.

    The normalization of the stock in the states depends on the passthrough of the insecticides by the MS, who buys the products through international bidding.
    According to the Superintendent of Epidemiological Surveillance of the State Department of Health (SES) of Rio, M?rio S?rgio Ribeiro, "the expectation is that the numbers of dengue cases decrease with the arrival of winter so that we do not have to rely on insecticides."

    Ribeiro presented the updated data of arboviruses in Rio. Between January and June 4 of this year, there were 41,888 cases of chikungunya, 20,622 cases of dengue fever and 1,005 people infected by zika. In all, 13 people died by chikungunya, being 10 in the state capital.

    The president of Alerj's Health Commission, MP Martha Rocha (PDT), said she was worried about the situation. "We have an alarming diagnosis. There have already been 13 deaths by chikungunya this year, with experts still claiming that the disease is not fully known. There are also constant failures in diagnosis and now the news of insecticide shortages. I see very difficult days in the state health sector, "he said.

    According to MS data, Rio de Janeiro received 17,800 liters of insecticide to combat Aedes aegypti throughout 2018 and 4,800 liters by April 30 of this year.

    Casos de dengue crescem 432% no Pa?s; chuva e atraso do frio prolongam surto

    Dengue cases grow 432% in the country; rain and cold delay prolong outbreak
    Brazil recorded 767 thousand suspected infections and 222 deaths by May 11. Immunological protection of the population is smaller for virus type 2, which has spread again
    Naira Trindade and Jos? Maria Tomazela, O Estado de S.Paulo
    June 03, 2019 | 03h00

    BRAS?LIA E SOROCABA - Police investigator Juliana Gon?alves, 41, spent two days in bed because of dengue fever last month. "The pain has passed, but I still have red spots on my body. It was horrible. "Beyond her, three co-workers were infected. "I'm sure mosquitoes come from a river next to the police station," says Juliana, of Caraguatatuba, north coast of S?o Paulo. Even two months after the end of the summer, the disease in the country still worries: from the beginning of the year until the last day 11, total registrations were 432% higher, compared to the same period of 2018.

    The jump was 144,000 probable cases of infection to 767 thousand reported suspicions. Deaths from the virus also dropped from 88 to 222 - most of them (80) in S?o Paulo. The number of infected people has exploded in 20 states and the Federal District.

    There are four serotypes of the virus. The epidemic and the increased incidence in these states are explained by the spread of type 2, says Rodrigo Said, the general coordinator of the National Programs for Control and Prevention of Malaria and Diseases Transmitted by the Aedes Ministry of Health. "The latest epidemics were for viruses 1 or 4," he says. "This serotype (2), which circulated little and therefore had little immunological protection, has now returned and made the population more susceptible."

    The climate, according to Said, also plays an important role. Heavy rains in recent weeks have caused larvae of the transmitting mosquito, Aedes aegypti, to hatch. In addition, higher temperatures create favorable conditions for the insect.

    "As long as it does not cool down, the cases will continue," says Regiane de Paula, of the Epidemiological Surveillance Center of the S?o Paulo Health Secretariat. The El Ni?o weather phenomenon, she said, is making the cold take longer to enter this year in the Southeast.

    Until the last day, only four of the 645 cities of S?o Paulo did not notify cases. More serious is the picture of Bauru, with 19.7 thousand infected and 21 deaths.

    In Tup?, where the outbreak led to the mayor's cassation (read below), the autonomous Valdecir Freitas, his wife and 13-year-old son were infected. "I keep everything clean, but it has empty lots of trash. We pay for the carelessness of others, "he complains.

    With the expectation of late and short winter, there is a growing need to maintain actions against Aedes breeding sites. According to the ministry, more than 80% of mosquitoes come from residential areas. Other cities maintained in the fall the use of insecticide (smoke). The strategy, to kill the adult Aedes, is considered less effective than eliminating standing water, which avoids the birth of the transmitter.

    The ministry says it has 300,000 liters of insecticide expired and that, according to preliminary information received this week, are not suitable for use. According to Said, the samples of this product were sent to an accredited laboratory, but the responses received this week were not favorable to the use of the product.

    As soon as the first symptoms appeared, former senator Marina Silva (Network) sought a hospital in Brasilia. The severe pain in the body and in the head helped to anticipate the diagnosis confirmed later by examination: dengue. In the country's capital, where the incidents increased by more than 1,200%, the government spread six temporary posts in areas of higher incidence. There, tests are applied and there is assistance provided by doctors, nurses and technicians.

    Infected for the second time with dengue, Marina was hospitalized for three days last week. On Twitter, he recalled being "one of thousands." According to the former senator's press office, she is well.

    The new infection, as occurred with Marina, carries even greater risk. "The successive disposition to the virus and a second infection can cause more serious manifestations and even death," warns the ministry's Said.

    The Medical Department of the Chamber of Deputies attended 88 patients with suspected dengue between April 1 and May 29 of this year. Under the allegation of medical secrecy, the department does not distinguish how many are servants or parliamentarians, nor does it disclose patient names. Because of the high incidence of cases in the federal capital, the local government has adopted as a strategy to spread six temporary posts in areas of higher incidence. Assistance is provided by doctors, nurses and nursing technicians.
    Epidemic was reason to dismiss mayor

    The outbreak of dengue this year cost up to the position of the mayor of Tup? (SP), Jos? Ricardo Raymundo (PV). He was dismissed by the City Council last week, accused of omission in combat

    Campinas registers 7,900 cases of dengue fever

    Campinas (SP) reported Monday that the number of patients infected with dengue fever reached 7,971, up 45% from the previous week, when the Department of Health Surveillance (Devisa) had 5,493 confirmed cases. In addition, the municipality registered the first monkey with yellow fever since 2017. At the time, nine primates tested positive for the disease.

    The balance shows that the Northwest region, where the Campo Grande district is located, is the most affected in Campinas, with 2,463 positive cases. The southern region comes in sequence, with 2,061 infected. The number of cases under investigation is 1,252.

    Director of Devisa, Andrea Von Zuben argues that the municipality has registered a decrease in new cases in recent weeks. "We started to reduce the number, but the cases are increasing because we are confirming suspects," he explained.

    According to Andrea, the number of infected this year is "higher than expected" and that the city does not speak more in projection. A week ago, the director said she estimated that the city could reach up to 10,000 cases, given the speed of virus transmission in the city.

    Mutir?o

    An anti-dengue campaign carried out in Campinas (SP) this Monday (29) removed about 210 tons of garbage and debris that were in a public area in Jardim Fernanda, which serves as a route for aircraft arriving and departing from the airport of Viracopos. Organic garbage, above all, attracts vultures and the presence of animals can create risk of accidents during flights in the region.

    Items such as toilet bowls, tires, which can be used as a breeding ground for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, were removed from the ground during work supported by a tractor. "The population needs to collaborate with the situation, stop bringing garbage here, ecoponto is very close to here, regular collection," said public services advisor Paulo Ribeiro Filho.

    The cleaning action continues until the sixth (3) and includes the neighborhoods Campo Belo 1 and 2, Singer City 1 and 2, Jardim Itagua?u 1 and 2, Jardim Marisa, S?o Domingos, Vila Palmeiras and Dom Gilberto, among others. Papers will be interrupted only during the May 1 holiday.

    According to the administration, 170 people, including public servants and reeducers, will work on the removal of rubbish in neighborhoods, with cleaning of streams, services of capping and clearing of wolf's mouth. The idea is to eliminate possible breeding sites of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

    Yellow fever

    The epidemiological bulletin of Devisa released on Monday also confirmed the first positive case of yellow fever in primates since 2017, when nine monkeys were infected. The animal was found dead on March 20, near a forest belonging to the Guarani and the tests confirmed the presence of the disease.

    In the statement, the Health Department highlights that it carries out actions in the region, with the research to analyze the presence of wild mosquitoes, vectors of the disease, and educational actions with residents, guiding vaccination.

    According to the City Hall, since the year 2000, 1.2 million doses of the vaccine against yellow fever have been applied, and the dose is available in all health centers in the municipality.

    There are no records of human cases in Campinas this year. The city had an autochthonous case (contracted in the municipality) in 2017, and another imported in 2018.

    SP tem circula??o da dengue tipo 2, a mais grave, em mais de 57 cidades

    SP has circulation of dengue type 2, the most serious, in more than 57 cities
    Interior of the State goes through an epidemic of the disease due to the "mosquito-friendly" climate and predominance of the type of virus different from previous outbreaks
    Deborah Giannini, from R7
    04/04/2019 - 04h00 (Updated 12/04/2019 - 03:21 PM)

    The State of S?o Paulo has circulation of type 2 dengue, the most serious, in more than 57 cities, according to the director of the CVE (State Epidemiological Surveillance Center), Regiane de Paula. The dengue virus has 4 types.

    According to the State Department of Health, the State registered more than 49 thousand confirmed cases and 39 deaths until the last bulletin, of 25 of March.

    "There is high Aedes Aegypti infestation in these regions," he says. "It is worth mentioning that 80% of the breeding sites are inside the houses," he adds.

    Ten cities account for 54% of the confirmed cases, which is equivalent to 27 thousand occurrences. S?o Jos? do Rio Preto, Andradina, Barretos, S?o Joaquim da Barra, Fernand?polis, S?o Paulo, Agudos and Ipu?.

    The Bauru leader counts 10,207 cases and 12 confirmed deaths, according to the Bauru Municipal Health Secretariat.

    Climate inside is "nice" to the mosquito

    "The interior of S?o Paulo is a climatically pleasant region for the mosquito, with heat and humidity. In addition, there is a predominance of serotype 2, which has not circulated in large proportions for some time. says the doctor and doctor in microbiology Maur?cio Nogueira, president of the Brazilian Society of Virology (SBV).

    The last dengue epidemic occurred in 2015. According to Regiane, every three or four years there is an increase in the number of cases. "What worsened this year was the type 2 circulation. In the previous years, there was the predominant circulation of type 1. This reduced the number of people susceptible to this virus. However, in relation to type 2 , people are unprotected, "he points out.

    The doctor explains that there is a greater frequency of severe cases the second time the disease is contracted. "This is due to a complex immune phenomenon in which the antibodies from the first infection, instead of protecting it from the second, end up facilitating the multiplication of the virus."

    According to him, most people are having the second dengue infection, for that reason, the highest incidence of severe cases. "Theoretically, a person can get dengue fever four times, since there are four serotypes of the virus, but the third and fourth infections are usually asymptomatic," he says.

    Only big cold front should stop epidemic

    Nogueira points out that the epidemic continues to grow. "We are experiencing its peak," he says. He points out that controlling the problem depends on weather conditions. "The epidemic that affects the interior of S?o Paulo lasts, and this is historic, until the first great cold front, which usually happens at the end of May."

    After it passes, the president of the Brazilian Society of Virology stresses that it will generate immunity in the population. "We will live in this cycle until one of the things is achieved: control the mosquito, which is already known that it is not possible, or create a vaccine that is really effective," he concludes.

    Regiane points out that while it is not possible to eliminate the mosquito, some practices can help control its proliferation such as washing the water box every six months with soap and water and keeping it capped, checking gutters and refrigerator trays. "It's important to take 15 minutes a week to look at possible breeding grounds in the house," he says.

    Com 799 casos de dengue, Campinas determina prioridade no atendimento em postos

    With 799 cases of dengue fever, Campinas determines priority in
    According to the city hall, the region most affected is the Northwest, with 370 confirmations. All cases are from serotype 2 of the disease.

    Six days after confirming that Campinas (SP) is facing a new dengue epidemic, the city said on Monday (1) that the number of confirmed cases reached 799 and determined that the 65 health centers in the city prioritize the reception of patients with symptoms of the disease.

    The most affected region of the city is the Northwest, with 370 confirmations. The number of patients with dengue increased 43% in six days: from 556 to 799. All cases are of serotype 2.

    Main symptoms

    High and sudden fever
    Body pain
    Red spots
    Vomiting or diarrhea

    According to the city hall, two reference units were established in the network: the S?o Bernardo Health Center, near the Dr. M?rio Gatti Municipal Hospital, and the Campo Grande Emergency Care Unit (UPA), in the region most affected by dengue.

    "The two services will each have an exclusive team to attend cases of the disease, with nursing, medical, collection of examination and hydration room. The first one (S?o Bernardo) is already in operation and the second is in the organizing phase," says the note.

    Despite confirming the opening of hydration rooms in the two posts, the health secretary, Carmino de Souza, had promised last week to open three rooms for patients infected with the virus - the third service station has not yet been disclosed.

    Among the groups that are most concerned are the elderly (mainly comorbidities) and children (because they do not have adequate immunity).

    Type 2

    During the announcement that the city faces a new dengue epidemic, the director of the Department of Health Surveillance (Devisa), Andrea Von Zuben, explained that there are no differences between dengue serotypes - 1 to 4 - regarding treatment, care and symptoms.

    For the department, however, care is needed because the serotype 2 has not circulated expressively in the city since 2009 and, with that, the entire population is susceptible. Therefore, those who fell ill because of another serotype in previous years may be infected again, including the chance of having a more serious illness.

    Prevention

    The City of Campinas announced measures and care for the population to prevent the proliferation of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmitter of the dengue virus:

    Avoid accumulation of water in cans, tires and other objects;
    Flower pots must have water changed every two days;
    Water tanks and other containers used to store the liquid must be sealed;
    Unused toilet flasks should remain closed.
