| description | <p><strong>Background:</strong> Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has spread rapidly in many regions in recent years.<br /><strong>Objective:</strong> to describe clinical and epidemiological aspects of confirmed dengue patients in the Cumanayagua municipality, Cienfuegos province, during 2019.<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> a case series study was carried out, which included 28 confirmed dengue patients, according to a database of the Municipal Hygiene and Epidemiology Unit. Sociodemographic, clinical and epidemiological variables, detected Aedes aegypti foci and infestation indices were analyzed.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> The 57.1% of patients corresponded to the group of 15 to 49 years old; the female sex behaved in the same way as the male with the 50.0%. The predominant symptom was fever (100%); the 71.4% of the patients reported not having traveled outside the municipality; Aedes Aegypti outbreaks and infestation rates rose from June and fell after November. The highest risk neighborhood was Brisa with 36.8 x 10 000 inhabitants.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> the dengue epidemic in the Cumanayagua municipality in 2019 was clinically-epidemiologically characterized in a similar way to those that occurred in other territories, where the dengue 3 and 4 viruses circulation prevailed.</p> |
