After confirmation of dengue type 2, Health intensifies actions
Registry of more aggressive cases of the disease worries authorities; east zone will have a joint work next week
The identification of cases of dengue type 2 in the eastern zone of Londrina motivated the city to intensify the actions to combat the mosquito Aedes aegypti. This type of virus increases the severity of the disease and the risk of death. An emergency action plan was launched this Thursday (31) by the municipal administration. Among the measures envisaged are the application of smoke and the carrying out of cleaning work.
Circulation of type 2 virus was not registered in the city for about ten years. According to a bulletin released by Sesa (State Department of Health), 28 cases of dengue have been registered in Londrina since the beginning of the epidemiological year in August 2018. Until this Wednesday (30), there were 21 confirmations. Throughout the year 2018, the municipality counted 40 cases of the disease.
Health Secretary Felippe Machado pointed out that the main concern is the focus of the dengue virus type 2. "Serotype 2 is the most aggressive and circulates in more advanced states of epidemic. There is a risk of people contracting in a short the two types of dengue. As it happens, it worsens in the second infection, "he explained.
With the presence of type 2, which can cause more deaths, the city is using emergency actions. "There is a dengue-fighting plan to try to minimize the impact of a possible epidemic in the city. Action in the eastern zone, where type 2 has been found, will be reinforced with more than 100 endemic agents starting Monday. ), when almost 25,000 real estate will be searched. "
Machado said that other secretariats will be asked to support possible efforts to collect garbage. In addition, the county asked the state government ten cars for the application of smoke. "We are getting ready so that if this number of notifications leads to an increase in positive cases, we will be prepared for this confrontation," he said. For now, the only city in an epidemic situation in Paran? is Ura? (North).
"The LIRAa (Rapid Survey of Aedes aegypti Indexes) showed that 80% of the breeding sites are in houses and in garbage discarded irregularly," recalled Machado. The secretary calls for the support of the population to survey the residences and remove mosquitoes. "It's no use going to the people's house and picking up the breeding grounds if it comes back every ten days," he said. This is because, in times of heat and humidity, the eggs of the mosquito may hatch in five days, according to the director of health surveillance of the Municipal Health Department, S?nia Fernandes.
Fernandes recalled that it is important that the population leave the house open during the passage of the smoke so that the insecticide can reach the mosquito. Although the chemical kills Aedes aegypti, it also strikes other insects, such as dragonflies, which are natural predators of mosquitoes. Asked about the increase in cases even with the application of dengue vaccines, Fernandes said that even with the three doses taken, the vaccine has effectiveness of 65%.
Health guidance, according to the director, is that cleaning is frequent in pots of plants and animal feed containers. The coping plan now focuses on the east. According to Fernandes, in the southern zone, where most dengue notifications were made, "we have already done the work we could do." "We are preparing for the health units to be able to receive patients, acquiring more sera," said Machado.
