RESUMO
Um inquérito soroepidemiológico foi realizado em uma amostra de escolares, em 1994, no município de Paracambi, Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Positividade do teste de Inibição da Hemaglutinação foi detectada em 39,2% (145/370) dos escolares pesquisados. A freqüência de positividade foi de 53,8% (78/145) para o sexo feminino e de 46,2% (67/145) para o sexo masculino. A distribuição por faixa etária mostrou uma positividade crescente com o aumento da idade. Cepas do vírus dengue tipo 1 e vírus dengue tipo 2 foram isoladas anteriormente (1990), mostrando a co-circulação de ambos os sorotipos na área. Os índices de infestação predial pelo Aedes aegypti e pelo Aedes albopictus foram determinados.
ABSTRACT
A seroepidemiological survey was carried out during 1994 in the municipality of Paracambi, state of Rio de Janeiro. Haemagglutination inhibition test positivity was detected in 145 out of 370 (39.2%) schoolchildren. The frequency of positive test by sex was 53.8% (78/145) female and 46.2% (67/145) male. Distribution by age showed the increasing of antibody positivity in older children. Strains of dengue virus type 1 and dengue virus type 2 were isolated before (1990) showing the co-circulation of both serotypes in that area.
