The Minister of Health recommends not to go to Encarnaci?n for the admission of new dengue serotype to Argentina
From Health recommends not to go to Paraguay for the entry of new dengue serotype to Argentina
The tasks of discarding and awareness continue after the confirmation of 19 cases of dengue serotype 4 in Itap?a

The Director of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Public Health of the province, Jorge Guti?rrez, warned on Monday that there is concern about the appearance in Paraguay of serotype 4 of dengue, for which he recommended not to go to the neighboring country and in case of doing so take all precautions of the case to avoid the bite of the Aedes, warning that if one already had dengue of another serotype contract type 4 can be of the severe or hemorrhagic type.


He explained that Misiones as a border province has a complex scenario, "we share with Brazil that it has, in terms of dengue, the four circulating serotypes and that Paraguay had a few years ago with one like us, but as of last year He introduced type 4 and started to have cases of hemorrhagic dengue, so it was to be expected that at some point he would get us because we have too much circulation with our neighbors. "

In a dialogue with Radio Rep?blica, Guti?rrez commented that "both in the north with Ciudad del Este and here with Itap?a, in recent weeks there has been a notable increase in patients with type 4, before it was the type 1 that was normally had, to the point such that in Itap?a have been mentioned 14 cases from one week to the other and the same is happening in the north and now, in the last weeks we are confirmed, first a case type 4 in Iguaz? and six more cases. In general, it is more towards the north of the province, but we have to announce that type 4 has entered the province, which means that on a base of notified patients we will have the possibility that some patients who already had serotype 1 with a new infection with serotype 4 with the possibility of having a severe dengue form. "

The official explained that dengue has 4 serotypes and stressed that there is seriousness when "a patient, and that can happen every 5 years, that at the time had a serotype, any of them, the one that is what was circulating for decades here and another serotype is incorporated into the circulation of this territory, and in the superposition it has a 15 percent greater chance of doing serious forms. When it is the type that is if one has a previous infection by any of the three types, the person can get to have the dengue shock that is the most serious form, it is possible that it has the hemorrhagic form ".

Before the consultation to cross or not to Paraguay, Guti?rrez said that the advice is that they do not go "within the possible thing, because we have that serotype installed, those 7 patients that I am saying to him, all have verified that they traveled to Paraguay, we have the possibility of extending a couple of years without hemorrhagic forms, we have to statistically reduce which people bring the serotype ".

About the care to have before this situation the official said that they are the same ones that have been spreading, take care of the bite, because it is still the same vector, "we have to avoid the bite of the aedes, work on the vector", and recommended intensify the household preventions of containers with water and descacharrizaci?n ".

He stressed that, "we must continue working on having low larval indexes, the usual recommendations, to emphasize that" the appearance of type 4 changes the epidemiological landscape of the province. "

Misiones: confirman que son siete los casos del serotipo DEN 4, que causa dengue hemorr?gico o grave
Abril 3, 2019 2:50 pm

Missions: confirm that there are seven cases of serotype DEN 4, which causes hemorrhagic or severe dengue
April 3, 2019 2:50 pm


It is the serotype of dengue that can cause severe or hemorrhagic infection, it is a serotype that did not circulate in our province until now, but in neighboring countries. Six of the cases were registered in Puerto Libertad, one in Puerto Iguaz?. All are imported, said the Health Minister of the province, Walter Villalba.

"They are all imported, people who have traveled and have contracted the disease but not necessarily turned into serious cases, all are out of risk," said Walter Villalba before the admission of dengue serotype 4. He explained that historically in our province there was circulation of serotypes -DEN- 1 and the population that has been in contact with this group, is immune for life to this type of dengue, but with a greater predisposition to have severe or hemorrhagic disease due to infection with DEN 4. Minister pointed out that this does not mean that if they have it, yes or yes they develop serious or hemorrhagic disease, but it does have more possibilities.

He indicated that several years ago in neighboring countries circulates DEN 2,3 and 4, "which in our country had been avoided thanks to the intense work of municipalities and province," said Villalba. Now this situation could no longer be contained and attributed to the intense border traffic. He specified that seven cases were detected in Misiones.

On what depends that the infection becomes serious

Villalba explained that basically depends on previous infection with another serotype. "That is what makes the risk of hemorrhagic or serious diseases substantially increase, it also depends on the guest, it is not the same for a person over 70 years of age, for a younger and healthier person," he said. He also clarified that DEN 2 is the one that most produces hemorrhagic diseases. To the respect said that this serotype occurred in Corrientes, Salta and some isolated case.

Before the recommendations to avoid traveling to neighboring countries, he said that the priority is prevention and health care. "It is a recommendation, not a prohibition," he said, suggesting once again that travel to Paraguay, where the disease is endemic, should be avoided as much as possible.

On the recommendations of how to prevent, he reminded that they are the same: to keep the yards clean, to avoid containers that accumulate water, clean vacant lots, enumerated and remembered that 80 percent of the hatcheries are in the homes, not in the public sphere.

Naci?n dispar? una alerta por dengue y en Misiones los casos ya llegan a 70

Nation fired an alert for dengue and in Misiones cases already reach 70

By Esteban Bueseck interior@elterritorio.com.ar
So far this year, Misiones has registered 70 confirmed cases of dengue, of which 63 are of serotype DEN-1 and 7 cases are imported with DEN-4. In addition, there are 150 cases under study and 300 were discarded, confirmed El Territorio Jorge Guti?rrez, director of Epidemiological Surveillance of the province.
In addition, in that context and in the context of the tourist movement for Holy Week, the Ministry of Health of the Nation yesterday issued an epidemiological alert for "intensification of the surveillance of acute non-specific febrile syndrome and recommendations for the circulation of dengue and other arboviruses in Argentina and bordering countries ".
The circular circulated in all provincial ministries states that "in the presence of outbreaks of different arboviruses in neighboring countries, the circulation of dengue virus in different Argentine provinces and taking into account the expected increase in flows of people who will move from and to those areas on the occasion of the upcoming Holy Week holidays, "the part that urges" the health teams to intensify the epidemiological surveillance of cases, sensitize the clinical suspicion of dengue and other arboviruses, as well as disseminate the recommendations to the population for the prevention and early consultation in case of presenting symptoms ".
The same document explains that Argentina presents circulation of the dengue virus in six provinces (Misiones, Jujuy, Salta, Santa Fe, Formosa and Buenos Aires), predominantly of serotype DEN-1 and identification of serotype DEN-4 in the red earth but in "Low proportion".
"In the countries bordering the NOA and NEA regions there is a circulation of different arboviruses: in the Republic of Paraguay (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-4, chikungunya) and in Brazil (DEN-1, DEN-2, yellow fever, chikungunya and zika).
Given this scenario, the situation becomes complex if one takes into account that in the epidemics of 2009 and 2016, a large number of missionaries contracted the serotype DEN-1 of the disease, so that they become ill again with a different serotype, as it is DEN-4, it can lead the person to a serious condition that could lead to hemorrhaging or hypovolemic shock.

Four municipalities
The national health document also reports that there are currently 21 localities with dengue virus transmission in the six provinces mentioned, "in all of them the serotype DEN-1 was identified and in the province of Misiones, cases of DEN-4 were also identified".
The missionary localities where there is transmission of the disease are Posadas, Andresito, Puerto Iguaz? and Puerto Libertad. This information is not less if it is considered that they are urban centers that border the Paraguayan departments of Itap?a and Alto Paran?, where the greatest number of dengue cases have occurred.
On the other hand, the epidemiologist Guti?rrez indicated that the outlook is as expected since last November, when it was estimated that most cases of the disease would occur in mid-February and during Holy Week.
"The cases are not going to be just this week but the following week, when they will begin to appear as many dengue pictures," he said. And analyzed that this will be given by the large flow of travelers to areas of Paraguay where there are strong outbreaks of the disease.
In another order, the official asked people not to go to Paraguay or Brazil if it was not necessary. "But if they have to do it, we ask that they take all the necessary precautionary measures: that they wear repellent, long-sleeved clothing and long pants," he said.
"We are facing this risk and if we do not need to cross, we will not cross. It is a situation similar to what happens with those who are not vaccinated and will go to places in Brazil where there is yellow fever. And it is sometimes unfortunate that one has to give this kind of advice, but it is the most reasonable, "insisted the health professional.
Asked if it will be fumigated at the borders, he maintained that "it does not make sense with the level of migratory flow that there is. What you have to do is fight the hatcheries in the houses. "

They ask to eliminate hatcheries before "an epidemic explodes"
The Minister of Public Health of Paraguay, Julio Mazzoleni, spoke yesterday and indicated that you should not lower your guard against the circulation of dengue and other arboviruses.
He said that in Paraguay the four dengue serotypes are already circulating and "it is important that we do not lower our guard. That we are attentive to the possibility that this can explode, that's why we insist on prevention. "
In the neighboring country, the departments of Alto Paran? (in front of Wanda, Libertad and Iguaz?) and Amambay are considered critical areas at present,

They admit that the entry of serotype DEN 4 to Posadas is imminent
Cases of DEN 4 were confirmed in Misiones (7), Jujuy (1) and CABA (2). In Itap?a (Paraguay) there are 33 cases of DEN 4, most of them in Encarnaci?n. The Nation confirmed sustained transmission of DEN 1 in Iguaz?, Libertad, Andresito and Posadas.
04/27/2019 10:20

Until Friday, the cases of dengue in Misiones continued being 75, of which 7 are of serotype DEN 4. But the authorities of Public Health of the province await the results of the 150 cases under study and remain alert to cases that may appear in the two weeks after Easter, which is the period of infection.

In a dialogue with FIRST EDITION, the director of Epidemiology, Jorge Abel Guti?rrez, indicated that "the increase of cases in Itap?a (Paraguay), mostly concentrated in Encarnaci?n, added to the number of people who permanently cross Posadas to that Paraguayan city it allows us to infer that the entry of the first cases of DEN 4 to Posadas is imminent. "

Guti?rrez explained that "Encarnaci?n is increasing the number and proportion of cases of DEN 4 compared to those of DEN 1, at this time, according to the health authorities of the Seventh Health Region, practically for every case of DEN 1. that confirm there is another one of DEN 4 ".

It is worth remembering that, in Misiones, so far there are only seven confirmed cases of DEN 4 (6 from Puerto Libertad and 1 from Iguaz?). In Posadas there are cases in studies but, according to Guti?rrez, "the situation in this city is quite calm, but the truth is that very few days of Holy Week passed and we believe that positive cases will appear in the coming days, this is the second wave we expected and we are attentive. "

They add 33 the DEN 4 in Encarnaci?n

Meanwhile, according to the Chief of Epidemiology of the Seventh Sanitary Region, Miguel Ruiz, Itap?a has 182 probable cases of dengue with rapid test diagnosis and 33 correspond to serotype DEN 4.

"Between suspects and probable we have 215 cases, the majority corresponds to the municipality of Encarnaci?n," said the official of the neighboring country who expressed concern about the large number of people who get sick and do not go to health centers, or go directly to a laboratory, but they never present the file of denunciation of the case so that the State can make the sanitary blockade.

"There are people who complain on the radio or before the authorities of their municipalities but did not go to hospitals. Unfortunately, we are encountering many of these cases, that is why we urge citizens to go to a health center when they are sick. When a person does not feel well, the first thing he has to do is go to a medical assistance service, whether public or private, and from that clinical suspicion or if the laboratory was already done, the clinical record is raised and from there the epidemiological blockade by SENEPA, which includes fumigation in the neighborhoods of the affected people. Obviously, if a person becomes a laboratory that gives positive and does not deliver the file there is no way we know and we can make the epidemiological block.

Situation in Argentina

In the country, according to the last Integrated Bulletin of the Nation, there were 904 positive cases of dengue (confirmed and probable) until April 20 without travel registration.

The viral circulation of DEN 1 occurs in Buenos Aires, Formosa, Jujuy, Misiones, Salta and Santa Fe.

Meanwhile, there are areas with sustained transmission of DEN 1 in four provinces, Jujuy (Aguas Calientes, El Acheral and Fraile Pintado), Salta (localities of the departments General Jos? de San Mart?n, Or?n and Rivadavia), Santa Fe (city of Santa Fe y Rosario) and Misiones (Puerto Iguaz?, Puerto Libertad, Andresito and Posadas).

In addition, areas of localized transmission of serotype DEN 1 are identified in Buenos Aires (General San Mart?n and Ituzaing? parties) and Formosa (Ingeniero Ju?rez).

According to the last Integrated Surveillance Bulletin, Misiones has 61 confirmed cases and 81 probable cases of dengue without a record of travel history.

Regional situation

So far this year, Brazil registered 320 cases of severe dengue and 122 deaths due to dengue. In that country there are 210,339 confirmed cases in the first four months of the year.

In Paraguay there are more than 2,569 cases of dengue, between positive and probable. Officially, there was only one death for dengue.
