Resumo
They characterize dengue as an acute viral infectious disease transmitted by the bite
of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, being an important public health problem. Estimates
by the World Health Organization suggest that 50 million cases occur each year and
that about 2.5 billion people live in countries endemic for dengue. The present study
aimed to describe the epidemiological profile of dengue in the municipality of Ilha
Solteira, in the period between 2016 and 2018, aiming at indicating action strategies
with the objective of controlling and preventing the occurrence of the disease in the
municipality. A retrospective descriptive study was carried out with data recorded the
Severe Notification Information System (SINAN). The variables used for the study
were: number of reported and confirmed cases among the months of the surveyed
years, distribution of cases regarding gender, age, race, area of residence, and case
evolution. In the investigated period 1019 suspected cases of dengue were reported,
79.4% of the cases being confirmed. The highest number of cases occurred in the first
five months of the year, mainly affecting individuals between 40 and 44 years and
women. The North Zone neighborhoods were the ones that presented the most
notifications. The municipality of Ilha Solteira has high incidence rates of the disease,
with annual variation for more or less cases, so they consider climate endemic for
dengue. This observation leads to the need to organize the Basic Care health services
through improvements in the actions to confront the disease, calling on the population
to carry out daily actions in their homes and peridomicide in order to reduce the number
of cases.
