ABSTRACT

La fiebre amarilla es una enfermedad infecciosa viral hemorrágica transmitida por la picadura de mosquitos y con un espectro clínico variado. En el Perú se presentan en brotes, en diferentes partes de la selva alta y baja. A pesar de tener elevada mortalidad, es una enfermedad inmunoprevenible con la vacunación que no siempre es seguida por los viajeros. Reportamos dos casos clínicos, con dos espectros clínicos distintos de una misma enfermedad en una pareja de jóvenes previamente sanos, que viajaron por turismo a la selva central del Perú, en la provincia de Chanchamayo, Junín. Se debe recordar a todo viajero a la selva peruana a vacunarse previamente contra la fiebre amarilla.


Yellow fever is a hemorrhagic viral infectious disease transmitted by mosquito vectors and with a variable clinical presentation. Yellow fever occurs in Peru as outbreaks, in different parts of the high rainforest and the Amazon basin. In spite of having a high mortality rate, it is a preventable disease with vaccination, but travelers to endemic areas do not always get immunized. We report two cases, with two different forms of the disease in a couple of previously healthy young persons that traveled to the Peruvian central high rainforest in Chanchamayo, Junin. Every traveler to the Peruvian Amazon region must be reminded to get immunized against yellow fever.
