Info Dengue: a nowcasting system for the surveillance of dengue fever transmission
Codeço, Claudia Torres; Cruz, Oswaldo Gonçalves; Riback, Thais Irene Souza; Degener, Carolin; Gomes, Marcelo; Villela, Daniel; Bastos, LeonardoThis study describes the development of an integrated dengue alert system (Info Dengue), operating initially in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a project developed as a partnership between academia and the municipal health secretariat. At the beginning of each epidemiological week, the system captures climate time series, dengue case reporting and activity on a social network. After data pre-processin...
Clinical Update on Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Dengue
B.A. Seixas, Jorge; Giovanni Luz, Kleber; Pinto Junior, VitorDengue is a vector-borne disease that has a significant impact on global public health. The vector mosquito belongs to the genus Aedes. Two species play a key role in human transmission: Ae. aegypti, which has adapted to the urban environment of highly populated areas in tropical and subtropical countries, leading to a dramatic increase in dengue cases over the years, and Ae. albopictus, which poses a potential...
Atypical manifestations in patients with Dengue: literature review
Bigaran, Larissa Toloy; Barbosa, Talita Costa; Costa, Laiane Cristina Silva da; Vieira, Ana Luisa Bazzo; Silva, Deleon Ilidio da; Ribeiro, Alana OdaDengue is a major public health problem, which mainly affects the population of tropical and subtropical regions in the world, in addition to the thousands of travelers who visit these areas. Transmission occurs through the bite of female vectors of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Aedes scutellari or Aedes polynesiensis, infected by the virus, which can lead to manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to hemor...

Objective: To describe clinical and laboratorial features of myositis in a pediatric patient with dengue fever. Method: Revision of clinical records. Case report: A 5-...
Dengue
Martínez Torres,EricEl dengue es hoy la más importante arbovirosis, por su gran carga de enfermedad e implicaciones sociales. El mosquito Aedes aegypti, su principal transmisor convive con el hombre en su hábitat domestico y peridoméstico. El cuadro clínico es de fiebre, cefalea, dolor retroocular, dolores corporales, exantema y mucho decaimiento. El enfermo puede empeorar súbitamente y presentar choque por dengue, con grandes hem...
Influence of dengue on odontogenic infection
Silva, Mirela Caroline; Lima Neto , Tiburtino José de; Sanches, Natália dos Santos; Santos, Anderson Maikon de Souza; Ribeiro , Kim Henderson CarmoBackground: Dengue is an endemic viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes of the species Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus that causes a fall in the host's immune system due to overload in fighting the virus and leaves the body more susceptible to opportunistic infections. The odontogenic infection can have its condition aggravated in patients infected with dengue, making the treatment more complex. Objective a...

Souza,Luiz José de; Carneiro,Helder Gonçalves; Souto Filho,João Tadeu Damian; Souza,Thiago Ferreira de; Côrtes,Vitor Azevedo; Gicovate Neto,CarlosDengue fever is the most frequent arbovirus disease in the world and the most important one in terms of morbidity and mortality. Atypical manifestations of dengue have become commonplace during the last few years, including hepatic damage, which manifests mainly by pain in the right hypochondrium and an increase in the levels of aminotransferases. We describe a case of acute hepatitis in a patient with Dengue S...
Caracterização genética de isolados virais da dengue
Maria Azevedo de Lyra, JulianaA caracterização molecular do vírus da dengue é útil na determinação da origem de amostras e, principalmente, na tentativa de se estabelecer uma correlação de virulência dos isolados e sua importância epidemiológica. Embora os quatro sorotipos do vírus da dengue possam causar a febre hemorrágica da dengue considerando a infecção primária, alguns sorotipos parecem estar associados a determinadas formas e a gravi...
