- Abstract
Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by the vector Aedes aegypti, with a global impact and increasing incidence, especially in the tropics and subtropics, in which Brazil faces high rates of suspected cases. Dengue can have serious complications, such as neurological, hepatic and cardiovascular manifestations, requiring urgent medical intervention and, despite the lack of specific treatment, the development and implementation of vaccines is promising. With the potential to spread to temperate climate regions, the epidemiological work of health secretaries, together with an understanding of the data released, is crucial for global public health. Dengue represents a challenge and is therefore a public health problem. With the notable increase in cases, it is crucial to promote awareness and training among health professionals and the population, encouraging compulsory notification for an effective approach to the disease, as well as vector control strategies, including environmental and educational measures. This epidemiological study is a descriptive, cross-sectional analysis of the number of confirmed/notified cases of dengue in the city of Matipó - MG. This study used data made available by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) to research the city's physical and population characteristics. In addition, data from the Department of Information Technology of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), provided by the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), was used to collect information on cases of the disease. The municipality of Matipó-MG faced a significant increase in dengue cases between 2019 and 2023, which motivated the analysis of data on the disease in the municipality. Therefore, this study has social relevance since, by knowing what promotes a certain obstacle that significantly impacts the population's illness from dengue, it is possible to invest in public health policies such as preventive measures for the proliferation and control of the vector.
