Morbidity rate increases by 100 percent in Venezuela

According to the Epidemiological Alert issued by the Network of Scientific Medical Societies, the cases of malaria, dengue and measles and AH1N1 virus have increased.

Regarding dengue, during the week of May 23-May 29, 38,174 cases were recorded, more than double than in the same period in 2009, when 16,598 cases were reported. According to the Epidemiological Alert, in 2010 there have been 3,859 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), that is two and half times more cases than in the same period in 2009, when there were 1,424 cases.

Although 21 Venezuelan states have been hit by the epidemic, the highest incidence of the disease has been detected in Miranda (402 cases in only one week); M?rida (396 cases); T?chira (367 cases); Capital District (292 cases); Zulia (231 cases); Lara (186 cases) and Aragua (128 cases). In the Capital District, the overall number of cases is 10 times higher than in the same period of 2009, while in the states of M?rida and Miranda it is eight times higher. The highest rate of DHF has been reported among babies under one year old, with 41.2 per 100,000 inhabitants.

With regard to malaria, the outlook is similar to dengue. There were 1,279 new indigenous cases and 24 cases coming from other countries. As a result, the accumulated cases in 2010 amounted to 22,880, a 100.8 percent increase over the same period in 2009.
