Dengue fever surpassed 18,000 cases in Bauru. Located about 330 km from the state capital, Bauru is the sixth city with the highest incidence of the disease in the country - the rate is 3,457.6 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants.

According to the Ministry of Health, the leader in incidence is the city of Bilac, 520 km from S?o Paulo, with 7,573.3 cases per 100 thousand inhabitants, since it has a smaller number of inhabitants. The folder does not have data on the city with the highest number of absolute dengue cases in Brazil.

In Bauru, 17,996 cases of dengue were considered autochthonous and only 32, imported, totaling 18,028 cases and 17 confirmed deaths, according to the Bauru Municipal Health Secretariat.

The interior of the State of S?o Paulo undergoes an epidemic of the disease due to the climate "mosquito-friendly", with heat and humidity, and predominance of virus serotype 2, which did not circulate in large proportions in the previous epidemic in 2015, according to the doctor and doctor in microbiology Maur?cio Nogueira, president of the Brazilian Society of Virology (SBV).

Brazil registers more than 675 thousand cases

Dengue also grows as a whole in the country. The number of cases increased five times over the same period last year. According to the latest epidemiological report of the Ministry of Health, on May 4, 675,174 probable cases of the disease have been registered since the beginning of the year. In 2018, there were 134,048 occurrences, representing an increase of 403%.

The number of deaths also increased 115%, from 82 in 2018 to 189 this year, with the majority in the State of S?o Paulo, the leader in the number of cases, with 232,183. The Southeast region concentrates more than 474 thousand cases of dengue.

BRAS?LIA E SOROCABA - Police investigator Juliana Gon?alves, 41, spent two days in bed because of dengue fever last month. "The pain has passed, but I still have red spots on my body. It was horrible. "Beyond her, three co-workers were infected. "I'm sure mosquitoes come from a river next to the police station," says Juliana, of Caraguatatuba, north coast of S?o Paulo. Even two months after the end of the summer, the disease in the country still worries: from the beginning of the year until the last day 11, total registrations were 432% higher, compared to the same period of 2018.

The jump was 144,000 probable cases of infection to 767 thousand reported suspicions. Deaths from the virus also dropped from 88 to 222 - most of them (80) in S?o Paulo. The number of infected people has exploded in 20 states and the Federal District.

There are four serotypes of the virus. The epidemic and the increased incidence in these states are explained by the spread of type 2, says Rodrigo Said, the general coordinator of the National Programs for Control and Prevention of Malaria and Diseases Transmitted by the Aedes Ministry of Health. "The latest epidemics were for viruses 1 or 4," he says. "This serotype (2), which circulated little and therefore had little immunological protection, has now returned and made the population more susceptible."

The climate, according to Said, also plays an important role. Heavy rains in recent weeks have caused larvae of the transmitting mosquito, Aedes aegypti, to hatch. In addition, higher temperatures create favorable conditions for the insect.

"As long as it does not cool down, the cases will continue," says Regiane de Paula, of the Epidemiological Surveillance Center of the S?o Paulo Health Secretariat. The El Ni?o weather phenomenon, she said, is making the cold take longer to enter this year in the Southeast.

Until the last day, only four of the 645 cities of S?o Paulo did not notify cases. More serious is the picture of Bauru, with 19.7 thousand infected and 21 deaths.

In Tup?, where the outbreak led to the mayor's cassation (read below), the autonomous Valdecir Freitas, his wife and 13-year-old son were infected. "I keep everything clean, but it has empty lots of trash. We pay for the carelessness of others, "he complains.

With the expectation of late and short winter, there is a growing need to maintain actions against Aedes breeding sites. According to the ministry, more than 80% of mosquitoes come from residential areas. Other cities maintained in the fall the use of insecticide (smoke). The strategy, to kill the adult Aedes, is considered less effective than eliminating standing water, which avoids the birth of the transmitter.

The ministry says it has 300,000 liters of insecticide expired and that, according to preliminary information received this week, are not suitable for use. According to Said, the samples of this product were sent to an accredited laboratory, but the responses received this week were not favorable to the use of the product.

As soon as the first symptoms appeared, former senator Marina Silva (Network) sought a hospital in Brasilia. The severe pain in the body and in the head helped to anticipate the diagnosis confirmed later by examination: dengue. In the country's capital, where the incidents increased by more than 1,200%, the government spread six temporary posts in areas of higher incidence. There, tests are applied and there is assistance provided by doctors, nurses and technicians.

Infected for the second time with dengue, Marina was hospitalized for three days last week. On Twitter, he recalled being "one of thousands." According to the former senator's press office, she is well.

The new infection, as occurred with Marina, carries even greater risk. "The successive disposition to the virus and a second infection can cause more serious manifestations and even death," warns the ministry's Said.

The Medical Department of the Chamber of Deputies attended 88 patients with suspected dengue between April 1 and May 29 of this year. Under the allegation of medical secrecy, the department does not distinguish how many are servants or parliamentarians, nor does it disclose patient names. Because of the high incidence of cases in the federal capital, the local government has adopted as a strategy to spread six temporary posts in areas of higher incidence. Assistance is provided by doctors, nurses and nursing technicians.
Epidemic was reason to dismiss mayor

The outbreak of dengue this year cost up to the position of the mayor of Tup? (SP), Jos? Ricardo Raymundo (PV). He was dismissed by the City Council last week, accused of omission in combat

Dengue matou 14 pessoas na Bahia em 2019; ano passado foram tr?s v?timas
No Brasil ocorreu o triplo de ?bitos registrados no ano passado

Dengue killed 14 people in Bahia in 2019; last year were three victims
In Brazil there was a triple of deaths recorded last year

The number of deaths confirmed by dengue in Bahia jumped from three cases last year to 14 deaths only in the first five months of 2019. Another 11 suspected cases may still be related to the same disease and are being investigated.

According to the Secretariat of Health of the State of Bahia (Sesab), between December 30, 2018 and June 1, 2019, 33,487 probable situations of dengue in the state were reported.

In the same period last year, 5,973 probable occurrences were reported, representing a 460.6% increase in the number of notifications.
In total, 327 cities in Bahia have been notified of this offense. Of the 14 deaths confirmed this year, Feira de Santana, in the Center-North of the state, was the municipality with the highest number of occurrences. The Sert?o Princess reported seven cases of dengue, followed by Candeias (1), Rafael Jambeiro (1), Saubara (1), Jacobina (1) and Parapiranga (1). Salvador has had 2 confirmed cases so far.

Data of Brazil

Across the country, the number of dengue deaths this year is almost three times higher than in the same period of 2018. According to the Ministry of Health (MS) bulletin issued on June 5, deaths for dengue confirmed until May 27 in Brazil total 295. At the same time last year, the country had recorded 99 deaths from the disease.

According to the MS bulletin, S?o Paulo and Minas Gerais are the states most affected by dengue fever and account for 68.3% of the probable cases of the disease, that is, those not yet confirmed in laboratory tests.

The data from the bulletin of the epidemiological week 21 show that S?o Paulo had more than 320 thousand probable cases of dengue by the end of May of this year; while at this time last year were less than 9 thousand.

Minas Gerais already recorded more than 322 thousand cases in the same period this year, compared to 20.2 thousand until May 2018.

The numbers of dengue in Brazil in 2019:

11 suspected dengue cases are under investigation in Bahia.

460.6 is the increase in the number of reports of dengue in Bahia.

According to data from Sesab, 33,487 probable cases of the disease were reported in the state until June 1 of this year.

In 2018, in the same period, 5,973 probable occurrences of the arborirose transmitted by Aedes Aegypti were registered.

Across Brazil, 295 people have died of dengue this year, nearly three times higher than deaths recorded in 2018, according to the Ministry of Health bulletin.

Five times more

The number of probable cases of dengue in Brazil this year is five times greater than in the same period of 2018, in a total of 965.04 thousand notifications, according to the Ministry of Health survey.

States such as Paran? registered a jump of almost 4,000% in the probable cases, to 37 thousand. Tocantins, Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima and the Federal District had a 1,000% increase in probable cases of the disease.

But, according to ministry estimates, the incidence of Aedes aegypti-related illnesses is expected to begin to decline this year, especially with the onset of winter.

Zika and chikungunya

The epidemiological bulletin of the Ministry of Health also counts cases of chikungunya and zika in Brazil. Along with dengue, the two diseases are the most prevalent arborivores in the country.

The chikungunya had 15 deaths registered in 2019: 1 in Bahia, 13 in Rio de Janeiro and 1 in the Federal District. There are still 42 deaths under investigation in the state of Pernambuco. In all, there are more than 53 thousand probable cases of the disease in the whole country, number four thousand less than the 57 thousand recorded in the same period of 2018. Rio de Janeiro is the state with the highest number of cases: almost 36 thousand.

Zika has not had confirmed deaths until the end of May, but adds up to 6,100 probable cases in the country.

In the world, 6.1 billion people are at risk of contracting dengue by 2080, according to a study published in Nature Microbiology on June 10. the main factors that explain the phenomenon are global warming and population growth in endemic areas.

The mosquito transmitter: The Aedes aegypti mosquito has shortened reproductive period and throws more eggs in the summer when it is hot. At this time of year it is also when it bites people more, transmitting the arboviruses dengue, zika and chikungunya. Global warming is altering the mosquito cycle because periods of high temperatures are longer.

States are without insecticide against mosquito Aedes Aegypti

The fight against the mosquito Aedes aegypti adult, responsible for transmitting dengue, zika and chikungunya may be impaired in the coming days in the country because, according to the Ministry of Health, some states of the federation are without the insecticide used against the vector.

The most serious case of lack of insecticity is in Rio de Janeiro. In a note, the MS said that the Secretariat of Health Surveillance is working to minimize the problems caused by the lack of the product. Also according to the note, due to the shortage, there was the attempt to loan the insecticide with other countries in South America, but there was no product available.

The normalization of the stock in the states depends on the passthrough of the insecticides by the MS, who buys the products through international bidding.
According to the Superintendent of Epidemiological Surveillance of the State Department of Health (SES) of Rio, M?rio S?rgio Ribeiro, "the expectation is that the numbers of dengue cases decrease with the arrival of winter so that we do not have to rely on insecticides."

Ribeiro presented the updated data of arboviruses in Rio. Between January and June 4 of this year, there were 41,888 cases of chikungunya, 20,622 cases of dengue fever and 1,005 people infected by zika. In all, 13 people died by chikungunya, being 10 in the state capital.

The president of Alerj's Health Commission, MP Martha Rocha (PDT), said she was worried about the situation. "We have an alarming diagnosis. There have already been 13 deaths by chikungunya this year, with experts still claiming that the disease is not fully known. There are also constant failures in diagnosis and now the news of insecticide shortages. I see very difficult days in the state health sector, "he said.

According to MS data, Rio de Janeiro received 17,800 liters of insecticide to combat Aedes aegypti throughout 2018 and 4,800 liters by April 30 of this year.

Falls the number of dengue cases in DF

Currently, the DF has seven task force tents for hydration of patients with suspected dengue. Before, there were ten, but three were turned off

According to the Health Department, there has been a decrease of approximately 50% in the number of suspected and confirmed cases of dengue in the last two weeks. The fall is a comparison with the 25th Epidemiological Week, June 16-22. In this period, 35,523 cases of dengue were recorded, with the equivalent of 96.6% occurring in residents of the Federal District (DF).

In that period, 31 deaths (two more than the previous week), 47 severe cases that survived and 619 dengue cases with alarm signs were recorded. The North Health Region had the highest number, with 10 deaths (32.3%).

The Subsecretariat for Health Surveillance will intensify home visits, prepare courses on insects (entomology), new partnerships will be made to set up an entomovirology laboratory (responsible for checking the viruses that circulate among mosquitoes) and intend to expand the coverage of traps.

"We need to count on the participation of all the population in the control of the vector, which causes not only dengue, but also zika and chikungunya," said Deputy Secretary of Health Surveillance Divino Valero. He recalled that during the process of fighting the mosquito that transmitted the disease, the Health Department mobilized more than 3,000 people. Valero said: "We inspected about 900,000 buildings, used 40 smoke machines against the adult mosquito, mobilized more than 480 people only from the Environmental Watch Division."
Tents

Currently, the DF has seven task force tents for hydration of patients with suspected dengue. Before, there were ten, but three were disabled, in Varj?o, Estrutural and S?o Sebasti?o. The others will run until June 30 in Guar?, Itapo?, Planaltina, Sobradinho II, Samambaia, Ceil?ndia and Brazl?ndia.

In the period from May 25 to June 26, the hydration tents spread throughout the DF attended 34,017 people. Of this total, 23,303 were suspected of dengue, 7,221 received hydration or medication and 651 had to be taken to hospitals. The service has been declining, as shown in the chart below.

"The tents have fulfilled their main role, which was to receive and treat the simplest cases of suspected dengue," confirmed the Undersecretary of Comprehensive Health Care, Ricardo Ramos. According to him, there was a significant reduction in demand for service, justifying the deactivation of all structures after June 30. After that date, those who need it should look for the public health units.

For those still seeking shelter in the tents, the assistance is provided by nursing technicians, nurses and, when necessary, are referred for medical evaluation, which is sovereign to the rapid tests. Patients with classic symptoms of dengue are welcomed, are tested for disease confirmation (if necessary), receive oral hydration and treatment for symptoms.
Reduction

Due to the attendance in the tents, the emergencies of the hospitals presented reduction in the demand. In the Regional Hospital of Guar?, the occupancy rate in the Medical Clinic has reduced by 34.25% since the tent was installed near the Basic Health Unit (UBS) 1 of Guar?. In Hran, after placing the tent in Varj?o, there was a reduction of 12%. The Hospital do Guar? estimated improvement in 38%, and the Hospital of Parano?, in 40%.

The commander-in-chief of the DF's Military Fire Department, Colonel Emilson Ferreira, reported that the corporation has been active against dengue for three years. "We put more than 2,000 soldiers acting exclusively in the tents, visited more than 72,000 houses and treated more than 40,000 properties," he said.
Task force

The Secretariat of Health received the support of a task force in the fight against the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The Civil Police, Fire Brigade, Military Police, Civil Police, Navy, Aeronautics, Army, SLU and Civil Defense contributed to this reinforcement.

Currently, the Health Department has the work of inspecting approximately 470 agents in the field, among employees of Vigil?ncia Ambiental, SLU and assigned professionals. Each agent inspects an average of 20 homes per day.

The continuation of the task of combating arboviruses continues to be carried out by health, also with the collaboration of the Civil Defense, through the telephone number 199, to receive complaints about spaces with accumulation of garbage and water. "The Civil Defense joined the process of fighting dengue, with rapid actions and prevention

Brazil reports sharp rise in dengue fever cases
Extreme weather patterns fuel 600% jump in cases of potentially deadly disease
Bryan Harris in S?o Paulo 14 hours ago

Authorities in Brazil have reported an explosion in the number of cases of dengue fever as increasingly extreme weather patterns fuel the spread of the potentially lethal, mosquito-borne disease.

In the first six months of 2019, Latin America?s largest nation recorded almost 1.2m dengue cases ? a jump of almost 600 per cent from the 175,000 cases in the same period last year. The number of deaths rose 220 per cent to 388.

The development is likely to exacerbate concerns about the public health impact of global warming at a time when many world leaders, including Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian president, are showing little appetite to protect the environment.

The surge is particularly concerning for scientists given it has extended into the winter season, when the disease should decline.

?This year is very different because we have had dengue fever circulating for much longer ? and the cause of this is global warming,? said Ester Sabino, a professor at the Institute of Tropical Medicine at the University of S?o Paulo.

?We have had more days with high temperatures, so mosquitoes continue to multiply.?

In recent years, Brazil has suffered a string of outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases, including yellow fever in the S?o Paulo region last year as well as the Zika virus, which spread rapidly through the north-east in 2015...

More than 12 deaths from dengue have been confirmed in Minas Gerais in just one week, according to the latest bulletin of the disease released by the State Department of Health. With this, the number of confirmed deaths from the disease has risen from 86 to 98, from June 25 to this Tuesday (2).

In addition, the number of probable cases of the disease (sum of confirmed and suspected cases) gained 4,268 new occurrences, jumping from 423,317 to 427,585 cases in the same period.

The municipality of Uberl?ndia, in the Tri?ngulo Mineiro, leads the cases of dengue deaths, with 16 deaths, followed by Belo Horizonte, which already counts 15 deaths caused by the disease - three more than in the last balance -, and Betim, with 13.

But the death toll in the state may be even higher, as 137 more deaths are still under investigation for dengue fever. This is the second largest dengue epidemic ever recorded in the state. According to SES, only in 2016 were there more people infected: 519 thousand.

Chikungunya and zika

As for the other diseases transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the survey also shows that Minas has already registered 2,577 probable cases of chikungunya fever this year, which means the confirmation of 67 new cases between the last report released on June 25 and the survey released on Tuesday (2). So far, a death is being investigated for the disease.

As for zika, 167 suspected cases were discarded for the disease, and between one survey and the other, the number of probable records dropped from 1,231 to 1,064 suspected cases. No deaths were caused by the disease in Minas Gerais this year.

Dengue fever cases in Brazil increase by almost 600 per cent
Sep 12, 2019

Rio de Janeiro (dpa) - The number of cases of the mosquito-born dengue virus in Brazil increased by 600 per cent this year, according to the country's Health Ministry.

From December 30 to August 24, South America's largest county recorded more than 1.4 million probable cases of dengue, the ministry said in a report published on Tuesday. During the same period last year, Brazil recorded fewer than 206,000 cases.

The number of confirmed deaths from the mosquito-born virus stands at 591 this year, compared to last year's 141.
