Fever and pain: dengue until proven otherwise

Direction is from the state government to avoid common mistakes in the diagnosis and death
Rio - Every person with fever, muscle and joint pain should be considered suspect dengue fever, even before the exams, on recommendation of the State Health Department The move, officially announced yesterday, a day after confirmation of two cases Dengue 4 in Niteroi, aims to avoid misdiagnosis that may delay treatment and patients with the disease lead to death. The two young people identified with the virus arrived in April to take a wrong diagnosis.


"Until proven otherwise, any person who has fever, muscle and joint pain should be diagnosed as suspected dengue and treatment conducted as such," said the superintendent of the State Epidemiological Surveillance, Alexandre Chieppe.

As DIA has shown this week in three days with two people died after delayed diagnosis of dengue - 78 year old man and baby 1 year and 9 months.

Yesterday, the state Secretary of Health Sergio Cortes, admitted two cases of Niter?i may not be the only dengue 4 in the state. The identification of the serotype in circulation is done through sampling, so there may be other people with this four dengue in Rio, according to researchers from the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, isolated the virus in patients in Niteroi is similar to America's Sul and Bahia. That is, the same virus is spreading throughout Brazil.

"It is possible that the virus has reached the state before, because it is circulating since last year in Brazil Other people should be infected. It is essential that vigilance and that people seek medical attention if they experience symptoms. Dengue is not written on the forehead of one who has, it is difficult to differentiate diseases. But the diagnosis is independent of serotype, "explains Rita Nogueira, dengue expert in virology.

MAYOR ACCEPTS RISK

Eduardo Paes, Rio's mayor, expressed concern with the presence of virus in April and did not rule out the possibility of an epidemic. "We need to work hard this year to avoid that next year has been an epidemic. That depends on city government and the population. We have much to do. What you point, unfortunately, is that next year should be of major complications. Having epidemic now or next year, we'll provide the entire structure to the population. "

The new virus causes the same symptoms as other types of dengue, but a danger because it is new and therefore no one is immune. It also increases the risk of an individual who has had dengue fever caused by another type I get it again. "The repeated infection with dengue cases leads to serious," said Cortes.

After 3 Decades Absent, Dengue Type 4 Back in Brazil with a Vengeance PDF Print E-mail
2011 - March 2011
Written by Carolina Pimentel
Monday, 28 March 2011 13:40


...At the moment, a new type of dengue has returned to Brazil - type 4. Health officials are concerned as type 4 dengue has not been seen in Brazil for almost three decades.

Celso Granato of the Federal University of S?o Paulo (Unifesp) explains that type 4 is not more dangerous, infectious or fatal than other types, but as it has not circulated for so long, people are not immune to it.

As a result, people who have had other types that have been in circulation recently face the possibility of more serious consequences if they get type 4.

"Some people can get dengue for a second or even a third time, after having type 1 or 3 (which are more common in Brazil). Unfortunately, they will be more susceptible to type 4," says Granato.

An infectious disease expert, Edmilson Migowski, at the Rio de Janeiro Federal University (UFRJ), says that because the type 4 has been absent from Brazil for so long it could easily become an epidemic.

"If nothing is done to increase mosquito control, we could have a drastic situation in the summer of 2012. A dengue type 4 epidemic will not spare anyone," declared Migowski.

Data from the Ministry of Health shows that around 80% of all dengue cases in Brazil are type 1. So far, according to a ministry survey, dengue type 4 has been found in a little over 5% of cases in three states: Roraima, Amazonas and Par? (all three states are in the northern part of the country, in the Amazon region).

Cases have also been reported in Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Piau?...

epidemic
St. Paul records the case of dengue 4
Published on April 5, 2011

This virus is not more aggressive, but increases the risk of an epidemic because there is less immunity against it

S?o Paulo. A municipal employee who had dengue type 4 lives in an upper middle class neighborhood of Sao Jose do Rio Preto, S?o Paulo State, and may have contracted the disease in a nearby town. On Feb. 26, she felt the first symptoms, and on day 27, received a positive diagnosis in consultation on emergency care unit (PSU) Center of Rio Preto. Before that, however, she had traveled to a nearby town, where he spent the weekend.

Health authorities suspect that the contamination occurred in this town, whose name was not disclosed. "Our suspicion that this has occurred are very large," said Secretary of Health of Black River, Victor Maniglia.

According to him, the authorities of the neighboring town were alerted to possible contamination. "All the procedures were taken, but the case is still being investigated," he said. According to him, none of the relatives living with the civil servant was contaminated. "This is an isolated case, the only recorded in that neighborhood, which reinforces our suspicion it is an imported case."

According to the secretary, since last Friday (1st), when the virus was isolated, control teams of Health make operations block mechanic (home visit to an active search for breeding) and chemical (spraying of insecticide) the area where the public employee lives.

Another measure that has been made is the viral isolation of all positive cases by the Department of Virology, Medical School of Rio Preto (Famerp) and Instituto Adolfo Lutz. "Let's make the isolation of all the 160 dengue cases and new cases to detect if there is no other type 4 in our city," said the secretary.

Government

After registering the first case of dengue type 4 in the state of Sao Paulo, the Health Department's concern is with the movement of this new virus in 2012. The state does not provide this type of epidemic disease even in 2011, but says that the behavior of the virus for the coming year is unpredictable.

"When you enter a new virus, the subsequent years may have a different behavior. Because we have more people susceptible to this virus, it is possible a greater circulation," said Clelia Aranda, coordinator for Disease Control of the folder.

The virus type 4 is not more aggressive than the other three, but increases the risk of epidemics because fewer people are immunized against it. The department also notes that the emergence of a new virus increases the risk of more people being infected a second time. In cases of a second infection, the chance of developing a severe disease is higher.

Brazil has gone 28 years without registering cases of type 4, but it was reintroduced in the country in 2010. Since then, cases have been reported in Amazonas, Par?, Bahia, Pernambuco, Piau?, Rio de Janeiro, Roraima

Another precaution to be considered in the analysis of
lethality is the distortion of values ​​that can be influenced by small
numbers in the denominators, which ultimately does not represent the size of
scenario of gravity and service organization.
Given the constraints already presented for analysis of mortality,
was evaluated for lethality to the UF which had over 25 serious cases (median).
They are: Cear? (30.3%), Paran? (27.7%), S?o Paulo (26.3%), Goi?s (17.8%), Bahia

Serotypes
In 2011, the states of Rond?nia, Acre, Amap?, Maranh?o, Alagoas, Sergipe,
Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso have not sent data for inoculating
virus isolation by the General Coordination of Public Health Laboratories
(CGLAB / Devep / SVS / MS). The results of inoculations by state can be seen in Table 5. 3187 samples were inoculated with a positivity rate of 19.1%. From Overall, it was observed in a country marked predominance of serotype 1 virus in almost all states (73.1% positive samples), as shown in Table 5.
In the northern region, 483 samples were inoculated in the state of Amazonas, and 56 (11.6%) positive, with isolation of DENV-1 (17.9%), DENV-2 (39.3%) and DENV-4 (42.9%). In Para 100 samples were inoculated with 23% positivity, and also were isolated serotypes DENV-1 (39.1%), DENV-2 (13%) and DENV-4 (47.8%). Roraima were inoculated in 34 samples, all positive, and isolation of DENV-4 (100%). In Tocantins 58 samples were inoculated, with no sample positive.
In the Northeast, Bahia 465 inoculated samples, with 40.6% positivity and
predominance of DENV-1 (82%) and two samples positive for DENV-4. In Cear? were 252 samples inoculated with 63% positivity observed, showing
predominance of serotype 1 (96.8%). The serotype 1 also predominated in all
other states in the region. In Pernambuco, 214 samples were inoculated with 3.3% positivity four samples with DENV-1 (57.1%), with a DENV-3 (14.3%) and two with DENV-41 (28.6%). In Piaui 118 samples were inoculated with 6.8% positivity being that the DENV-1 predominated in 75% of the samples, 12.5% ​​were prevalent for DENV-2, and other 12.5% ​​was the DENV-42. In Para?ba were 45 inoculated samples, and Rio Grande do Norte, 13 samples, and serotype DENV-1 predominated in 100% of samples.
In the Southeast, in Rio de Janeiro 509 samples were inoculated, 68
positive (13.4%), registering DENV-1 (76.5%), DENV-2 (20.6%) and DENV-4 (2.9%). In Minas Gerais 242 samples were inoculated, one positive for DENV-
1. In the Holy Spirit 131 samples were inoculated with 35.1% positivity and
predominance of DENV-1 (80.4%). In S?o Paulo 44 samples were inoculated,
with 13.6% positivity, 100% positive for DENV-1.
In the south, 100% of samples were positive for DENV-1. In
Midwest region, in Mato Grosso do Sul were inoculated 126 samples

Dengue has become national failure

Disease is one of the biggest health problems: report
Rio - Dengue was identified as a major public health problems in Brazil by the major medical publications around the world, the British journal The Lancet. The publication states that the disease control is one of the "failures" of health in the country and shows that "3.5 million cases of dengue were reported between 2000 and 2009, with the record of 845 deaths." In addition to 12 000 cases of hemorrhagic form.

For experts, the efforts should prioritize the development of vaccines against dengue. The challenge, however, is finding one that is effective against all four virus.

The magazine said the annual incidence of the virus between 1986 and 2009 ranged from 40 cases per 400 inhabitants for 100mil cases. The cartoonist Ziraldo is with the disease. Despite the investment of over half a billion dollars - about $ 900 million - each year by the government, Brazil could not "limit or reduce" the population of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits the disease. The magazine also highlighted the high proportion of severe cases of asthma among children.

Despite the various challenges and problems, the magazine editor, Sabine Kleinert said that Brazil has raised interest to deploy a universal healthcare system and have achieved progress in some areas in a short period of time.

"Several countries should know how the system works and to follow the Brazilian example," he says. The distribution of antiretroviral drugs, the adoption of laws to inhibit smoking, declining rates of infant mortality and malnutrition are cited as positive points.
