EL DENGUE Por la Doctora Patricia Mónica Sartor ¿Qué es? Es una grave enfermedad viral transmitida por la picadura del mosquito Aedes aegypti Se presenta en dos formas: fiebre de dengue y fiebre hemorrágica de dengue. La fiebre de dengue es una grave enfermedad de tipo gripal que afecta a los niños mayores y a los adultos, pero rara vez causa la muerte. La fiebre hemorrágica de dengue (FHD) es otra forma más grave, en la que pueden sobrevenir hemorragias y a veces un estado de choque, que lleva a la muerte. En los niños es sumamente grave. Las personas que teman haber contraído FHD o dengue deberán acudir inmediatamente al médico. La fiebre hemorrágica de dengue es una enfermedad mortífera para las personas y el diagnóstico temprano, seguido del oportuno tratamiento puede prevenir la muerte. Si no se aplica inmediatamente el tratamiento adecuado, el enfermo puede caer en estado de choque y morir. Los síntomas de la fiebre de dengue varían según la edad y el estado general de salud del paciente. Los lactantes y los niños pequeños pueden presentar un cuadro de fiebre y erupción "sarampionoide", difícil de distinguir de la gripe, el sarampión, el paludismo, la hepatitis infecciosa y otras enfermedades febriles. Los niños mayores y los adultos pueden tener síntomas análogos o un cuadro sintomático variable entre leve y gravísimo. Características de la fiebre de dengue: Aparición brusca de fiebre alta.

66. Dengue This page is devoted to dengue, the disease and its prevention. http://medent.usyd.edu.au/fact/dengue.htm

Department of Medical Entomology Dengue Overview Natural History Symptoms Laboratory Diagnosis ... bottom of page Overview Currently, dengue is the most important viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes afflicting humans in a world context. Clinical symptoms range from mild fevers, to a severe and potentially life threatening haemorrhagic disease. Source reduction of the breeding habitats of the major mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti , is the best form of control. Natural History The normal cycle of dengue infection is considered to be human - mosquito - human. From feeding on an infected and viraemic human, the female mosquito is able to transmit the dengue virus after an incubation period of 8-10 days wherein virus infection, replication and dissemination result in infection of the salivary glands making the mosquito infective for life. In Australia epidemics of dengue occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Australia was considered to be free of local dengue following 1955 (when there had been a large outbreak in Townsville), but in 1981 a major outbreak with an estimated 3,000 infections occurred in northern Queensland, presumably initiated by an infected traveller. In Australia, there are three possible vectors:

(PDF 119KB/2 pages) Dengue Fact Sheet in PDF (PDF 79KB/3 pages) Perspectives Dengue (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus . Infection with one of these serotypes provides immunity to only that serotype for life, so persons living in a dengue-endemic area can have more than one dengue infection during their lifetime. DF and DHF are primarily diseases of tropical and sub tropical areas, and the four different dengue serotypes are maintained in a cycle that involves humans and the Aedes mosquito. However

(Yangon) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Tropical Health Program , The University of Queensland. March 1994 ABSTRACT A prospective epidemiological study of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) was undertaken in two townships in Yangon between 1984 and 1988. The aim of the study was to determine - (a) whether the incidence of anamnestic dengue virus infection was higher among dengue shock syndrome (DSS) patients than in the general community, (b) whether DSS was commonly associated with infection with any particular dengue serotype and whether DSS was associated with infection with any particular sequence of dengue serotype. The epidemiological investigations were accompanied by assessment of changes in levels of selected blood proteins (ant-dengue IgG 1-4; complement proteins C3, C3a, C4 Factor B, factor H, factor I; C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor -à) in dengue patients with disease of varying severity during the course of their disease. Seroepidemiological surveys in the study areas enabled primary and anamnestic dengue transmission rates, as well as transmission patterns of individual dengue serotypes, to be calculated. Patients from the study areas that attended Yangon Children's Hospital were studied clinically, serologically and virologically to grade severity of disease, to identify primary and anamnestic dengue infections and to identify the virus serotypes associated with DSS.

69. Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever MEDSTUDENTS-INFECTIOUS DISEASES A review of the most prevalent flavivirus infection in humans and its different clinical presentations, also considering aspects of epidemiology, diagnosis, http://www.medstudents.com.br/dip/dip3.htm

INFECTIOUS DISEASES Medstudents' Homepage Dengue/Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Introduction: Dengue fever is an acute febrile infectious disease, caused by all four serotypes (1, 2, 3 or 4) of a virus from genus Flavivirus, called dengue virus. It’s the most prevalent flavivirus infection of humans, with a worldwide distribution in the tropics and warm areas of the temperate zone corresponding to that of the principal vector, Aedes aegypti. When simultaneous or sequential introduction of two or more serotypes occurs in the same area, there may be an increased number of cases with worse clinical presentation (dengue hemorrhagic fever). The term ‘hemorrhagic’ is imprecise, because what characterizes this form of the disease is not the presence of hemorrhagic manifestations, but the abrupt increase of capillary permeability, with diffuse capillary leakage of plasma, hemoconcentration and, in some cases, with non-hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (dengue shock syndrome). Epidemiology: The highest incidence of dengue is in southeast Asia, India and the American tropics, where A. aegypti can be found. In the 1980s, dengue emerged in explosive epidemics in Rio de Janeiro (1986 - serotype 1 and 1990 - serotype 2 was isolated in Niterói city), São Paulo and in many other towns and cities in Brazil. In areas such as southeast of Asia, where all four dengue virus types are hyperendemic, children are almost exclusively affected, and seroprevalence approaches 100% by young adulthood. Transmission occurs by the bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes - the same vector of urban yellow fever - a day-active species with low fly-autonomy that is abundant in and around human habitations. In Brazil and other countries Aedes albopictus may also be responsible for transmission. Viremic humans (till the fifth day of disease) serve as the source of virus for mosquito infection; there is not person-to-person transmission. Movement of viremic humans provides the principal means of spread, and rapid air travel is a factor in most recent epidemic emergences.

The disease is common in most tropical and subtropical areas (including some islands in the Caribbean, Mexico, most countries of South and Central America, the Pacific, Asia and parts of tropical Africa). Cases originating in the United States are virtually unknown, but occasionally residents from or visitors to countries where dengue fever occurs may arrive in this country and develop dengue fever. Who gets dengue fever? Dengue fever may occur in people of all ages. Children usually have a milder disease than adults. How is dengue fever spread? Dengue fever is spread by the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It cannot be spread from one person to another.

Back to Infectious Diseases or Refugees Dengue Fever Updated 9/2001 Primary Distribution: East and West Africa, Southeast and East Asia, Pacific Islands, Eastern Australia, Central and South America, Mexico, South Texas, Caribbean Islands - with distribution increasing, especially in urban areas. Dengue fever is intermittently reported from Southeastern Texas. With approximately 150,000 deaths annually, dengue is now the tenth leading cause of death worldwide. There are approximately 80-100 million new cases annually worldwide and approximately 40% of the world's population live in an area at risk for dengue (Chin, 2000; World Health Organization [WHO], 1998; Ericsson, 1998). Agent and Vector: Dengue viruses (DVs) types 1, 2, 3, 4 (Togaviridae, Flavavirus) are transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. There is increasing incidence and prevalence of cocirculation of multiple serotypes. Incubation: 2-10 days. Clinical Findings and Treatment Signs and Symptoms: After the infected mosquito inoculates the host, the virus is replicated in local lymph nodes and within 2-3 days disseminates via the blood to various tissues. The virus circulates for 4-5 days in the infected monocytes, B cells, and T cells. Most patients are viremic at the point of clinical presentation with fever and clear the virus from the blood within a day of breaking the fever.

The four dengue viruses (DEN-1 through DEN-4) are immunologically related, but do not provide cross-protective immunity against each other. Occurrence Risk for Travelers International travelers are at risk for dengue infection, especially if an epidemic is in progress. Cases of dengue are confirmed every year in travelers returning to the United States following visits to tropical and subtropical areas. Travelers to endemic and epidemic areas, therefore, should be advised to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. The principal vector mosquito, Ae. aegypti
