More confirmed deaths from dengue in Sinop and Smile
Source: The Gazette


Five people have died of suspected dengue in Mato Grosso. The cases reported last week were released by the State Department of Health (SES). The casualties are in the cities of Cuiab?, Good Water (730 km east of Cuiab?), Pontes e Lacerda (448 km west), Smile and Sinop.

The SES data also show that this year there were 44,762 cases of dengue in the state, and 65 notifications were death. Among the fatalities, 54 were confirmed and 11 are under investigation. Other 923 patients with disease complications, including hemorrhagic form.

The state coordinator of Health Surveillance, Oberdan Lira, which explains the increase in deaths is not directly linked to the spread of the disease, since factors like the immune status of the patient, medication, care and chronic diseases can be decisive.

Lira explains that the primary factor to evidence the outbreak is the number of cases in recent weeks had an increase of 269 notifications. He said the rains worsen the situation because they increase the accumulation of water, but dengue is no longer handled by the Health as a seasonal disease (only in a period of years) to have notifications throughout the year. As the superintendent, the current concern is the inclusion of new types of viruses. In Mato Grosso, there is the presence of types 1, 2 and 3, which vary according to region. In Cuiaba, for example, there are records of types 2 and 3 and a reappearance of the disease can bring growth.

Mato Grosso ends year with 8% more deaths from dengue
Source: The Gazette


Mato Grosso had an 8% increase in the number of deaths from dengue this year. The report accompanying the disease shows that 64 deaths were reported with suspected disease in 2010, and last year were 54. The amount of confirmed cases had also increased, from 50 in 2009 to 54 this year.

Superintendent of Health Surveillance, Oberdan Lira, said the growth reflects the expansion of type 2 virus in the state. In 2009, when dengue has increased by 370% in the notifications, the highest incidence of severe cases was in the Baixada Cuiabana, where there are more resources for treatment. This year, the virus reached the more distant cities of Havana and, in places, conditions of service are limited and a lack of information professionals to accelerate the diagnosis.

The counties with the highest number of deaths are Sinop (11), Primavera do Leste (4), Rondon?polis (7).

The data are from the State Department of Health (SES) and show a 17% reduction in the number of reported cases. The decline in incidence occurred in both the classical form the serious, including bleeding. In 2010 45,027 cases were recorded, while during the same period last year were 54,299. In the severe form, there were 923 records this year and 1,474 in 2009.

Lira ensures that the person infected by type 2 virus may have aggravated the situation when he was infected by type 1. In these cases, the virus tends to be more aggressive and delay in diagnosis can lead to death.

The superintendent warns that in addition to rehabilitation, non-implementation of preventive measures have an influence on the numbers. He said that all municipalities received the recommendations and have applied, had a significant reduction. The towns best performers will be released next week, says Lira, as well as the measures taken.

Capital - In Cuiaba, were reported this year 4,543 cases of dengue, and 90 severe. Regarding the number of deaths have been reported 7, and 4 are confirmed and three are under investigation
