3175 notified YFV cases with 622 suspected, 756 confirmed, and 1797 discarded cases; 421 notified YFV associated fatalities with 47 suspected, 259 confirmed, and 115 discarded fatalities due to YFV infection reported nationwide as of EW 19/11 May by Brazilian MOH. Mortality rate is 34.25% and thus constant.
Most cases and YFV associated fatalities continue to be reported from the Southeastern region which includes the states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Espirito Santo, and Minas Gerais, with the epicentre in Minas Gerais.
Taking into account data provided in the past weeks, the number of suspected cases increased in the past weeks (with a decrease the previous weeks) concomitant with an increase in discarded and confirmed cases, indicating that testing of suspected cases is under way and the authorities are able to verify the diagnosis of suspected cases. The increase in suspected and confirmed cases however also indicates continued spread and vaccination efforts need to increase.
