Infestation of dengue in the growing (Parana)

Luciana Christ

The level of infestation of Aedes aegypti mosquito, which causes dengue fever in the north and northwest of Paran?, with warmer weather is around 18%, while acceptable is up 4%.

The analysis is preliminary Secretary of State for Health, Gilberto Martin, who next week begins a caravan against dengue in the city of Sarandi, upstate.

On Monday, the State Department of Health (SESA) shall disclose the updated figures of the disease, as well as the rate of infestation in the municipalities.

"The infestation is increasing and the next step is to increase the number of cases," anticipates the secretary. "The main policy regarding dengue is to raise awareness as much as possible, for not keeping mosquito breeding," says Martin.

Even with more cases, the situation so far is the extent allowed by Sesa, for three subtypes of the disease are being circulated by the state, which may even increase the number of serious cases, the dengue hemorrhagic fever.

In Maring?, in these early weeks of the year, are already nine confirmed cases, eight of which were released yesterday, showing a rapid growth since the last 8 days when they were 16 notifications and one confirmed case.

There are seven indigenous cases (contracted in the city) and 87 more suspected cases so far. "At last count, the rate of infestation in the city was high, at 3.8% (the acceptable is up to 1%), number with which it was impossible not to have infected people.

But the cases are not running much of the curve of incidence of the disease in recent years, when we have a high during this period, "said the municipal secretary of Health, Ant?nio Carlos Nardi.

The most critical situation is in quarters Champagnat, O?sis, Jo?o Paulino, Branca Vieira, Colina Verde and Pinheiros, with infestation rates of 13.5%. According to analysis of the municipality, the main mosquito breeding in standing water is in the garbage of solid waste in homes, such as plastic bottles and plastic cups in the open, as well as dishes from potted plants and tires.

"They are all likely to be removed by the residents, which shows the lack of involvement of people, despite more than 10 years of uninterrupted years," laments the secretary.

Influenza

The higher temperatures this month have helped that happen further deaths caused by influenza A (H1N1) in Parana. With symptoms similar to dengue, influenza A treatment is completely different and that is what the regional Sesa have warned healthcare professionals, as there is potential for confusion in diagnosis.

Since June of last year, when the first cases of influenza A were confirmed, as are 56,945 people who had the disease in Paran?, confirmed by laboratory tests and clinical and epidemiological criteria. Of these, 290 died.

Dengue is back in Brazil and northern Argentina

Brazilian sanitary authorities confirmed the existence of a dengue epidemic in several counties of five states. They are Matto Grosso bordering with Bolivia; Matto Grosso do Sul next to Bolivia and Paraguay; Acre neighbouring with Peru and Bolivia; Roraima to the north next to Venezuela and Guyana and the state of Goias in the heart of Brazil.

?The risk that carnival celebrations might change the behaviour of the epidemic always exists?, said Giovanini Evelim Coelho, coordinator of the National Program for Control of Dengue.

Dengue which is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito becomes an epidemic when the number of confirmed cases reaches 300 per 100.000 of population.
Dengue is considered one of the most extended diseases in the world and is endemic in the heartland of South America which includes northern Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia.

At the beginning of the month the Brazilian government alerted about the epidemic risk following the reappearance of the DEN-1 strain, with no cases registered in Brazil for the last ten years. Since January Brazilian sanitary officials have confirmed 12.666 cases in the country, five of them causing death.
Although dengue cases have fallen overall 34.2% compared to last year, 298 Brazilian residents died of the most acute strain, and the Brazilian government has launched a massive information and prevention campaign.

In related news sanitary authorities from the Argentine northern province of Misiones, next to Paraguay, have confirmed 424 dengue cases since mid December. Most of the affected are back home and only 70 remain in hospitals or clinics.

However officials are on the alert because in the city of Port Iguaz?, where the three countries meet (Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil) next to the world famous falls, a daily average of 60 people visits medical centres with possible symptoms of the disease.

Misiones was put on ?yellow alert? last year following the epidemic in Paraguay.

Dengue is caused by four closely virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes. The disease manifests as a sudden onset of severe headache, muscle and joint pains, sever pains that gives it the nickname of break-bone fever or ?bone-crusher?, plus fever and rash. There may also be gastritis with some combination of associated abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea.

The more dangerous strain is the dengue hemorrhagic fever which causes abdominal pain, haemorrhage and circulatory collapse. DHF starts abruptly with high continuous fever and headache plus respiratory and intestinal symptoms with sore throat, cough, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Shock occurs after 2 to 6 days with sudden collapse, cool clammy extremities, weak pulse, and blueness around the mouth (cyanosis). Pneumonia and heart inflammation may be present. The mortality is appreciable ranging from 6 to 30%.

Five States and Federal District in Brazil Get Dengue Epidemic
2010 - February 2010
Written by Newsroom
Friday, 19 February 2010 04:47

Brazil's Ministry of Health confirmed Thursday, February 18, that at least five states - Acre, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goi?s and Rond?nia - have presented a considerable increase of dengue cases since December. The Federal District has also recorded more cases since last month.

Some health departments are already using the term "epidemic" to describe the situation they are in in their epidemiological bulletins made public.

In Rond?nia, for example, the Health Secretariat reported that the state is facing its largest outbreak of dengue ever. The increase in the number of cases in the first week of 2010, compared to the same period last year reached 2182%. In the second week, the increase was 1164%.

In the capital Porto Velho alone there were 2210 cases from a total of 5306 across the state. The city also recorded the highest number of severe cases of the disease - 70 - and three deaths.

In Mato Grosso, the Health Secretariat up to February 10 had already reported 12,666 cases of dengue - 344 considered serious - and 16 deaths from the disease. When compared to the same period last year, the numbers represents an increase of 804% of the notifications. In 2009, the state faced a dengue epidemic, with 60,000 cases reported.

So far, five deaths were confirmed in Mato Grosso. The capital, Cuiab?, had 802 reported cases and one death. In addition, the health authority is investigating if four additional deaths were caused by the disease. In V?rzea Grande, five people have died from the disease and notifications of cases already number 802.

In Mato Grosso do Sul, seven towns concentrate 53.4% of state population and 69.6% of suspected cases of dengue in the first five weeks of the year - Bonito, Campo Grande, Corumb?, Coxim, Dourados, Ponta Por? and Tr?s Lagoas. Across the state, 7991 cases have been reported and two deaths are under investigation. Although it has confirmed 996 cases, the Secretariat of Health warns that extra official information indicate that the numbers of cases may reach 14,566.

In Goi?s, 49 municipalities have a high risk of dengue infection. The capital, Goi?nia, leads in reports of cases in the first five weeks of 2010 (10,862), followed by Aparecida de Goi?nia (2.712) and Senador Canedo (674). According to the Health Secretariat, 50 cities have medium risk of infection and 68 low risk.

Through a spokesperson, Brazil's Health Minister said the five states have been receiving federal help against dengue, including insecticide and drugs. They also informed that they expect the numbers of cases will be going down from now on.

The main foci of the disease are places where stagnant water accumulates like tanks and barrels, flower pots, pools, ponds, tires and gardens.

"The risk that Carnaval celebrations might change the behavior of the epidemic always exists," said Giovanini Evelim Coelho, coordinator of the National Program for Control of Dengue.

Dengue which is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito becomes an epidemic when the number of confirmed cases reaches 300 per 100.000 of population.

With 1425 cases reported since January, DF declares dengue epidemic


The Department of Health confirmed Friday that the Federal District region faces an epidemic of dengue. In all, 1425 cases were reported, 390 confirmed and two deaths are under investigation since early January.

When compared to rates for the same period last year, the increase is 335.8% in reported cases and in 465% confirmed.

- The situation worries us and we can talk about the epidemic explosion in the number of cases in a short space of time - said the health secretary DF, Joaquim Barros Neto, told a news conference. He said these 390 cases, 155 were confirmed by tests yesterday and today.

The strategy to combat the epidemic, he said, is to choose specific points in the DF to receive treatment in 100% of households. The shares have started in cities such as Araponga and Itapo?. The first is about 6 thousand homes and second, 17 thousand. The target set by the registry is that each community agent visit 25 properties per day.

The DF should also count on the help of the armed forces. To date, confirmed the support of only about 200 men from the Army but, according to the secretary, has also been signaling by the Navy and Air Force. Training begins next week and will last on average three days.

The Secretariat of Health of the Federal District also established a partnership with the Urban Cleaning Service (SLU). The goal is to mark specific days and times with the residents to collect objects that can serve as mosquito breeding of dengue.

- We need to continue the reinforcement to avoid carelessness and negligence and that the disease back to scare us, as happens now. Goi?nia (GO), in a week, had a huge increase of 6 thousand cases. We can not let it happen here - he said.

The health secretary said he would still charge the emergency hiring of at least 500 community agents. Currently, the strength of the DF is 465 men, but the number, he said, is insufficient. Neto recalled, however, that the crisis caused by corruption scheme in the Mexico City government can hinder a meeting with the acting governor Paulo Ot?vio.

- In addition to the epidemic problem, we have a political problem. We are waiting, but we will take this issue - said.

Dengue fever cases double in Brazil in 2010
English.news.cn 2010-02-27 08:34:32

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's Health Ministry announced on Friday that the number of dengue fever cases registered from Jan. 1 to Feb. 13 in the country reached 108,640, up 109 percent from the same period in 2009.

The number of deaths by dengue fever was 31 in 2009, and 21 in the period of 2010 .

The Health Ministry denied that the country is undergoing a dengue fever epidemic, stating that about 70 percent of the cases are concentrated in only five states, which are Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Goias, in the midwestern region, and Acre and Rondonia, in the northern region.

According to Giovanini Coelho, who coordinates the Ministry's National Program for Dengue Fever Control, the rise in the dengue cases can be attributed to the high temperatures and heavy rains registered in the first six weeks of 2010.

Such weather conditions facilitate the reproduction of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the dengue fever.

Coelho admitted that while Brazil is not facing an epidemic, the situation warrants caution and worry, saying there is a risk of an epidemic this year.

"That is why we must intensify the actions to fight against the disease and warn the population and the governors," he said.

The ministry informed that the northeastern states, which usually register a rise in dengue fever cases from March on, were already alert of the problem and advised to increase prevention programs.

BRASILIA. Brazil lives this year, an outbreak of dengue cases. In the first nine weeks of 2010, from January 1 to March 6, 227,109 people contracted the disease. The number is 72% higher than the same period of 2009, according to balance the Ministry of Health Conversely, Rio de Janeiro fell 64% - from 5348 to 1922 notifications.

Although the disease has made more victims this year, the balance sheet shows a reduction of 81.2% of severe cases, called dengue hemorrhagic fever. In the first nine weeks of 2009, 2097 had this form of dengue, compared to 394 this year. The number of deaths also fell: from 85 to 65 in the same period. The ministry cautioned that the data are preliminary.

Five states have considered high incidence of dengue: Acre, Rond?nia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso and Goias The situation is most acute in Acre, with 1732.4 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants. In Mato Grosso do Sul, is 1334, and Rond?nia, 1248.5. In Rio, 12 are infected for every 100 thousand people.

In absolute numbers, however, the states of Rond?nia, Acre, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goias, Minas Gerais and S?o Paulo had 184,574 cases. The equivalent to 86.5% of reports around the country until March 6. Last year, Brazil recorded 131,872 instances during this period.

Goi?s concentrated the largest number of cases - 50,314 - followed by Minas Gerais, with 48,723.

The incidence of disease among Sao Paulo, however, is considered low, increased from 2.4 to 28.7.

The coordinator of the National Dengue Control, Giovanini Coelho, says the ministry plans to invest this year, about $ 1 billion in combating and prevention of dengue. It is the same value of 2009. He said the critical time for disease transmission goes from January to May. Cole says that it is not possible to predict whether 2010 will end with more or fewer cases than in 2009:

- We expect the temperatures begin to fall from April. So the natural tendency is to decline.

This year, flu killed 36 people

If, on the one hand, the winter helps reduce the transmission of dengue fever, cold enhances influenza virus H1N1. The Ministry of Health coordinates a war operation to tackle the disease. The government invested U.S. $ 1.4 billion to buy 113 million doses of vaccine.

Doctors take questions about vaccination

The vaccination campaign, focused on women, indigenous people, chronically ill, the network of health workers, babies from 6 months to 2 years and a population of 20 to 39 years goes up in May. The target audience consists of 91 million people.
