The dengue epidemic is still raging in Martinique with very active viral circulation
The coronavirus is on the rise in Martinique. The dengue virus continues to circulate on our island, especially in the north and center of the island. The epidemic continues.
Martinique is currently in a dengue epidemic and has been for several months. The dengue epidemiological surveillance indicators indicate the continuation of the epidemic on our island. The spatial distribution of biologically confirmed cases shows very active viral circulation throughout the territory and particularly within the municipalities of central and northern Martinique. The south nevertheless remains less impacted by the epidemic, especially in Sainte-Anne.
Six severe indigenous cases of dengue were hospitalized in an intensive care or intensive care unit. Two of these 6 cases died (February and June 2020) and classified as being directly related to dengue. A third death, classified as indirectly linked to dengue, occurred on the day of his hospital admission (end of June 2020).
Since the start of the epidemic, 8,380 cases have been clinically suggestive. Martinique is currently placed in Phase 4 level 1 of the PSAGE * dengue fever: epidemic confirmed.
