The State Health Department said, however, does not disclose more than the ranking of cities with the highest rate of infestation, only in case of confirmation of death. However, even without disclosing the list of cities infested by dengue mosquito, the council runs the risk of recording a large number of casualties, as there are still places in the city with standing water and outbreaks of Aedes aegypti. The pool at the Federal Center of Technological Education in Chemistry (Cefeteq) in CIEP 436 Neusa Brizola in Nevis, for example, is standing water: recipe for the proliferation of Aedes. The Cefetec lies along the BR-101 and the pool is in the neighborhood known as 'nursery' of dengue. "This is what you are seeing is not new. This pool has always been so with dirty water and without stopping and be used by students. What good we do our part, if not the government itself does not it? "Asked the hostess Isabel Cristina Marques, who lives at Rua Oliveira Botelho, near the CIEP. Cantarini Roberta The student, who also lives Rua Oliveira Botelho, echoes with Elizabeth: "Now there is little water, but it was a time when the pool almost overflowed. We are exposed to this situation. Inside the house they want to get people to see whether it complies want, but we can not enter the CIEP, "criticized the student. 'minnows' - The undersecretary said the pool Ciep in question is constantly monitored by the authorities and for there is no proliferation of mosquitoes, the fish known as 'minnows ditch' is released in the pool, since they eat mosquitoes. Also according to the Secretariat, it is likely that the number of records this month is greater than the year past, which reached 70 cases, as more than 100 agent notifiers were hired for the occasion, and the month is not over yet. Spotlights - The Catherine Garden neighborhoods, Ita?na, Vista Alegre and Pond are among the most recorded cases of dengue in the city. Tomorrow at 8 am, Mangalore will receive the combat action of the staff of the Secretariat. In 2011, 6,655 cases were reported, and this total were 17 deaths in S?o Gon?alo. To report and outbreaks of the mosquito, the secretariat provided the number to call 0800-0226-806.

MT registers new type of Dengue virus and municipalities receive alerts

06/02/2012 - 10:15
The newsroom

The State Department of Health of Mato Grosso (SES / MT) identified for the first time in the state, the circulation of viruses in the dengue type 4, in the metropolitan area.

Blood samples from patients analyzed by MT-Laboratory gave positive for dengue 4 in tests of evidence and rebuttal. Until now the State of Mato Grosso had recorded transmission of virus type 1, 2 and 3.

With a new type of dengue virus in circulation, there is naturally more people susceptible to developing the disease after contracting it. Patients infected once by viruses 1, 2 or 3 are immune to that virus.

The symptoms of dengue, however, are the same for all four types of virus: high fever, headaches, tiredness, muscle pain and joint pain, malaise, nausea, vomiting and red spots on skin, with or without abdominal pain and spontaneous bleeding.

Patients with these symptoms should drink water, do not take medication on their own and seek immediate medical advice in a Basic Health Unit

The State Department of Health, through the Surveillance, is communicating the services of municipal epidemiological surveillance to be aware of possible new suspected cases of dengue type 4.

The circulation of the new virus, however, does not change the work routine vector control (fight the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which transmits dengue) or clinical management of suspected cases of dengue in health services.

Cases

Preliminary Overview of the Department points out that from January to February 6 this year were reported by the municipalities in Mato Grosso 1604 cases of dengue, by means of Sinan (Information System for Notifiable Diseases). Of these, five were reported as severe cases of dengue. So far it has been reported 02 deaths are under investigation.

Actions

The State continues to monitor for laboratory examination, the identification of circulating serotypes of dengue in the state. The priority municipalities for the research are Cuiab?, Great Plains, Caceres, Rondonopolis, Sinop, Bar Herons and Alta Floresta. The action is part of the strategy for monitoring the disease and will also let you know if the four dengue viruses circulating in these other poles MT Health Laboratory is equipped and ready for action is to promote and develop the technique of virus isolation and identification typing of dengue virus (DENV1, DENV2, and DENV3 DENV4).

The Superintendent of Health Surveillance of SES / MT, Coutinho Oberdan Lira Ferreira, explains that "every time there is" exchange "the predominant virus, or a new virus, there is a risk of epidemics because of the population is not immune to him. Furthermore, severe cases can increase because are related to successive infections by different disease virus.

Serotype DENV4 is not the most aggressive, but with the population of Mato Grosso 100% vulnerable, the danger increases. Oberdan Lira explains that the dengue hemorrhage depends not only on the virulence of the serotype, but also the reaction of the organism.

The Secretary of Health Surveillance, Jarbas Barbosa, said the capital of Rio is always a concern when it comes to dengue being the largest tropical city in the country and also for gathering environmental conditions that favor the proliferation of the mosquito transmitter. "The city is the main gateway for tourists. With the exception of DENV 4, all other serotypes entered the Rio de Janeiro, "said the secretary.
