After confirmation of dengue type 2, Health intensifies actions
Registry of more aggressive cases of the disease worries authorities; east zone will have a joint work next week

The identification of cases of dengue type 2 in the eastern zone of Londrina motivated the city to intensify the actions to combat the mosquito Aedes aegypti. This type of virus increases the severity of the disease and the risk of death. An emergency action plan was launched this Thursday (31) by the municipal administration. Among the measures envisaged are the application of smoke and the carrying out of cleaning work.

Circulation of type 2 virus was not registered in the city for about ten years. According to a bulletin released by Sesa (State Department of Health), 28 cases of dengue have been registered in Londrina since the beginning of the epidemiological year in August 2018. Until this Wednesday (30), there were 21 confirmations. Throughout the year 2018, the municipality counted 40 cases of the disease.

Health Secretary Felippe Machado pointed out that the main concern is the focus of the dengue virus type 2. "Serotype 2 is the most aggressive and circulates in more advanced states of epidemic. There is a risk of people contracting in a short the two types of dengue. As it happens, it worsens in the second infection, "he explained.

With the presence of type 2, which can cause more deaths, the city is using emergency actions. "There is a dengue-fighting plan to try to minimize the impact of a possible epidemic in the city. Action in the eastern zone, where type 2 has been found, will be reinforced with more than 100 endemic agents starting Monday. ), when almost 25,000 real estate will be searched. "

Machado said that other secretariats will be asked to support possible efforts to collect garbage. In addition, the county asked the state government ten cars for the application of smoke. "We are getting ready so that if this number of notifications leads to an increase in positive cases, we will be prepared for this confrontation," he said. For now, the only city in an epidemic situation in Paran? is Ura? (North).

"The LIRAa (Rapid Survey of Aedes aegypti Indexes) showed that 80% of the breeding sites are in houses and in garbage discarded irregularly," recalled Machado. The secretary calls for the support of the population to survey the residences and remove mosquitoes. "It's no use going to the people's house and picking up the breeding grounds if it comes back every ten days," he said. This is because, in times of heat and humidity, the eggs of the mosquito may hatch in five days, according to the director of health surveillance of the Municipal Health Department, S?nia Fernandes.

Fernandes recalled that it is important that the population leave the house open during the passage of the smoke so that the insecticide can reach the mosquito. Although the chemical kills Aedes aegypti, it also strikes other insects, such as dragonflies, which are natural predators of mosquitoes. Asked about the increase in cases even with the application of dengue vaccines, Fernandes said that even with the three doses taken, the vaccine has effectiveness of 65%.

Health guidance, according to the director, is that cleaning is frequent in pots of plants and animal feed containers. The coping plan now focuses on the east. According to Fernandes, in the southern zone, where most dengue notifications were made, "we have already done the work we could do." "We are preparing for the health units to be able to receive patients, acquiring more sera," said Machado.

The number of confirmed cases of the disease in the first two months of this year is also more than twice the total of 2018. There were 36,791 cases in January and February, compared to 15,050 in the whole of last year. In the first two months of 2018 there were only 1,947 cases.

Of the 645 municipalities in S?o Paulo, 603 have reported cases of dengue this year. In the capital, the confirmed cases in the first two months of this year are already 665, surpassing the total confirmed cases in every year of 2018, which was 560.

The large number of cases and the highest lethality this year, according to the Coordinator of Disease Control of the Secretariat, Marcos Boulos, are due to the circulation of a new type of virus, mainly in the north and northwest regions of the State.

"In previous years, only the serotype 1 was circulating in the State, which was the main agent of the great epidemic of 2015 and 2016, when almost 1 million people were infected.In 2017 and 2018, we had fewer cases because people who had had dengue were immune to the same virus, "explained the coordinator. "The problem is that serotype 2 appeared, and when reinfection occurs with a different virus, the person is not immune and there is potential for greater severity."

The fear is that, this year, the serotype 2 virus will spread throughout the Metropolitan Region of S?o Paulo. "Next summer, we will be under the influence of the El Ni?o phenomenon, making conditions more conducive to the transmitting mosquito, as happened in the epidemics of 2015 and 2011. Type 2 is spreading and the risk is that it reaches the regions The current outbreak is expected to decline in the early fall, but there is a risk of a very strong return in November and December, so we need to keep fighting the mosquito. "

The interior is already experiencing a new dengue epidemic. The cities with the most confirmed cases are Bauru (6,008), Araraquara (3,824), S?o Jos? do Rio Preto (3,239), Andradina (2,401), Barretos (1,900), Fernand?polis (1,260) and S?o Joaquim da Barra (1,251). According to the Secretary of Health of S?o Joaquim, Rangel Lu?s de Melo, when the bulletins are released, the numbers are already outdated due to the occurrence of new cases.

Smaller cities also have high infection rates, according to the State Department bulletin. Palestine, with 11 thousand inhabitants, has 636 confirmed cases, while Ituverava, with 41 thousand inhabitants, already adds 618 and Pereira Barreto (25 thousand inhabitants) has 510 confirmed patients.

The prefectures have set up dedicated care facilities for patients with dengue fever and are using insecticides on the streets against the transmitting mosquito. In Guararapes, with 214 cases, the municipality denounced to the State Public Ministry 12 property owners who did not allow the entry of anti-dengue agents.

With 799 cases of dengue fever, Campinas determines priority in
According to the city hall, the region most affected is the Northwest, with 370 confirmations. All cases are from serotype 2 of the disease.

Six days after confirming that Campinas (SP) is facing a new dengue epidemic, the city said on Monday (1) that the number of confirmed cases reached 799 and determined that the 65 health centers in the city prioritize the reception of patients with symptoms of the disease.

The most affected region of the city is the Northwest, with 370 confirmations. The number of patients with dengue increased 43% in six days: from 556 to 799. All cases are of serotype 2.

Main symptoms

High and sudden fever
Body pain
Red spots
Vomiting or diarrhea

According to the city hall, two reference units were established in the network: the S?o Bernardo Health Center, near the Dr. M?rio Gatti Municipal Hospital, and the Campo Grande Emergency Care Unit (UPA), in the region most affected by dengue.

"The two services will each have an exclusive team to attend cases of the disease, with nursing, medical, collection of examination and hydration room. The first one (S?o Bernardo) is already in operation and the second is in the organizing phase," says the note.

Despite confirming the opening of hydration rooms in the two posts, the health secretary, Carmino de Souza, had promised last week to open three rooms for patients infected with the virus - the third service station has not yet been disclosed.

Among the groups that are most concerned are the elderly (mainly comorbidities) and children (because they do not have adequate immunity).

Type 2

During the announcement that the city faces a new dengue epidemic, the director of the Department of Health Surveillance (Devisa), Andrea Von Zuben, explained that there are no differences between dengue serotypes - 1 to 4 - regarding treatment, care and symptoms.

For the department, however, care is needed because the serotype 2 has not circulated expressively in the city since 2009 and, with that, the entire population is susceptible. Therefore, those who fell ill because of another serotype in previous years may be infected again, including the chance of having a more serious illness.

Prevention

The City of Campinas announced measures and care for the population to prevent the proliferation of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmitter of the dengue virus:

Avoid accumulation of water in cans, tires and other objects;
Flower pots must have water changed every two days;
Water tanks and other containers used to store the liquid must be sealed;
Unused toilet flasks should remain closed.

SP has circulation of dengue type 2, the most serious, in more than 57 cities
Interior of the State goes through an epidemic of the disease due to the "mosquito-friendly" climate and predominance of the type of virus different from previous outbreaks

The State of S?o Paulo has circulation of type 2 dengue, the most serious, in more than 57 cities, according to the director of the CVE (State Epidemiological Surveillance Center), Regiane de Paula. The dengue virus has 4 types.

According to the State Department of Health, the State registered more than 49 thousand confirmed cases and 39 deaths until the last bulletin, of 25 of March.

"There is high Aedes Aegypti infestation in these regions," he says. "It is worth mentioning that 80% of the breeding sites are inside the houses," he adds.

Ten cities account for 54% of the confirmed cases, which is equivalent to 27 thousand occurrences. S?o Jos? do Rio Preto, Andradina, Barretos, S?o Joaquim da Barra, Fernand?polis, S?o Paulo, Agudos and Ipu?.

The Bauru leader counts 10,207 cases and 12 confirmed deaths, according to the Bauru Municipal Health Secretariat.

Climate inside is "nice" to the mosquito

"The interior of S?o Paulo is a climatically pleasant region for the mosquito, with heat and humidity. In addition, there is a predominance of serotype 2, which has not circulated in large proportions for some time. says the doctor and doctor in microbiology Maur?cio Nogueira, president of the Brazilian Society of Virology (SBV).

The last dengue epidemic occurred in 2015. According to Regiane, every three or four years there is an increase in the number of cases. "What worsened this year was the type 2 circulation. In the previous years, there was the predominant circulation of type 1. This reduced the number of people susceptible to this virus. However, in relation to type 2 , people are unprotected, "he points out.

The doctor explains that there is a greater frequency of severe cases the second time the disease is contracted. "This is due to a complex immune phenomenon in which the antibodies from the first infection, instead of protecting it from the second, end up facilitating the multiplication of the virus."

According to him, most people are having the second dengue infection, for that reason, the highest incidence of severe cases. "Theoretically, a person can get dengue fever four times, since there are four serotypes of the virus, but the third and fourth infections are usually asymptomatic," he says.

Only big cold front should stop epidemic

Nogueira points out that the epidemic continues to grow. "We are experiencing its peak," he says. He points out that controlling the problem depends on weather conditions. "The epidemic that affects the interior of S?o Paulo lasts, and this is historic, until the first great cold front, which usually happens at the end of May."

After it passes, the president of the Brazilian Society of Virology stresses that it will generate immunity in the population. "We will live in this cycle until one of the things is achieved: control the mosquito, which is already known that it is not possible, or create a vaccine that is really effective," he concludes.

Regiane points out that while it is not possible to eliminate the mosquito, some practices can help control its proliferation such as washing the water box every six months with soap and water and keeping it capped, checking gutters and refrigerator trays. "It's important to take 15 minutes a week to look at possible breeding grounds in the house," he says.

Campinas registers 7,900 cases of dengue fever

Campinas (SP) reported Monday that the number of patients infected with dengue fever reached 7,971, up 45% from the previous week, when the Department of Health Surveillance (Devisa) had 5,493 confirmed cases. In addition, the municipality registered the first monkey with yellow fever since 2017. At the time, nine primates tested positive for the disease.

The balance shows that the Northwest region, where the Campo Grande district is located, is the most affected in Campinas, with 2,463 positive cases. The southern region comes in sequence, with 2,061 infected. The number of cases under investigation is 1,252.

Director of Devisa, Andrea Von Zuben argues that the municipality has registered a decrease in new cases in recent weeks. "We started to reduce the number, but the cases are increasing because we are confirming suspects," he explained.

According to Andrea, the number of infected this year is "higher than expected" and that the city does not speak more in projection. A week ago, the director said she estimated that the city could reach up to 10,000 cases, given the speed of virus transmission in the city.

Mutir?o

An anti-dengue campaign carried out in Campinas (SP) this Monday (29) removed about 210 tons of garbage and debris that were in a public area in Jardim Fernanda, which serves as a route for aircraft arriving and departing from the airport of Viracopos. Organic garbage, above all, attracts vultures and the presence of animals can create risk of accidents during flights in the region.

Items such as toilet bowls, tires, which can be used as a breeding ground for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, were removed from the ground during work supported by a tractor. "The population needs to collaborate with the situation, stop bringing garbage here, ecoponto is very close to here, regular collection," said public services advisor Paulo Ribeiro Filho.

The cleaning action continues until the sixth (3) and includes the neighborhoods Campo Belo 1 and 2, Singer City 1 and 2, Jardim Itagua?u 1 and 2, Jardim Marisa, S?o Domingos, Vila Palmeiras and Dom Gilberto, among others. Papers will be interrupted only during the May 1 holiday.

According to the administration, 170 people, including public servants and reeducers, will work on the removal of rubbish in neighborhoods, with cleaning of streams, services of capping and clearing of wolf's mouth. The idea is to eliminate possible breeding sites of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Yellow fever

The epidemiological bulletin of Devisa released on Monday also confirmed the first positive case of yellow fever in primates since 2017, when nine monkeys were infected. The animal was found dead on March 20, near a forest belonging to the Guarani and the tests confirmed the presence of the disease.

In the statement, the Health Department highlights that it carries out actions in the region, with the research to analyze the presence of wild mosquitoes, vectors of the disease, and educational actions with residents, guiding vaccination.

According to the City Hall, since the year 2000, 1.2 million doses of the vaccine against yellow fever have been applied, and the dose is available in all health centers in the municipality.

There are no records of human cases in Campinas this year. The city had an autochthonous case (contracted in the municipality) in 2017, and another imported in 2018.
