ABSTRACT

El dengue es una enfermedad viral transmitida por vector, mosquitos del género Aedes, endémica en gran parte de los países tropicales. El objetivo de este estudio es describir el brote epidemiológico de dengue ocurrido en el Hospital Pediátrico Dr. Hugo Mendoza de Santo Domingo a través de los registros clínicos-epidemiológicos del hospital. Se han calculado tasas de mortalidad, letalidad, incidencias, tasas de hospitalización y se compararon entre grupos de edad, lugar y sexo. El brote de dengue del 2023 en República Dominicana ha sido el más grande de la historia del país. En el hospital se han tenido que ingresar al 92,51% de los pacientes diagnosticados con el fin de monitorizar la enfermedad. Se reportaron un total de 1149 casos de dengue. Se produjeron un total de 16 muertes probables. La importancia del uso de medidas de prevención es primordial para evitar futuros brotes como el sufrido este año. (AU)
