RESUMEN
En 1981, Cuba reportó la primera epidemia de dengue hemorrágico en las Américas, en la cual se reportaron más de 344 203 enfermos, con 10 312 casos graves y muy graves, y 158 fallecidos. En estos 30 años con posterioridad a la epidemia, las acciones de vigilancia, control, e investigaciones realizadas han permitido que el país se mantenga libre de dengue aunque se han reportado epidemias y transmisiones que han sido interrumpidas. En este trabajo se resumen aspectos de interés relacionados con esta epidemia así como con la vigilancia de laboratorio y los resultados de algunas de las investigaciones realizadas.
ABSTRACT
Cuba reported the first dengue hemorrhagic fever in the American region in 1981. More than 344 203 cases with 10 312 severe and very severe cases and 158 fatalities were reported. Thirty years after this epidemic, the established surveillance, the control actions and the performed research studies have allowed the country to keep free of dengue, although some epidemics and waves of transmission have occurred, which have finally been eliminated. This paper summarized some interesting aspects related with this epidemic as well as with the laboratory surveillance and results of some of the main research works.
