RESUMEN
El dengue ha afectado a Iquitos desde 1990 causando varios brotes de gran impacto en la salud pública y por el que se desplegaron grandes esfuerzos para su control temporal. Actualmente, ante la expansión del virus chikungunya en las Américas y la amenaza de la emergencia del virus en Iquitos, reflexionamos a modo de lecciones aprendidas las actividades emprendidas en el área del control vectorial; la vigilancia epidemiológica; el diagnóstico y el manejo clínico durante los periodos de brotes de dengue, de modo que nos permita enfrentar mejor la amenaza de un brote del virus chikunguña en la ciudad más grande de la Amazonía peruana.
ABSTRACT
Dengue has affected Iquitos since 1990 causing outbreaks of major impact on public health and for this reason great efforts have been made for its temporal control. Currently, with the expansion of the chikungunya virus in the Americas and the threat of the emergence of the virus in Iquitos, we reflect on lessons learned by way of the activities undertaken in the area of vector control; epidemiological surveillance, diagnosis and clinical management during periods of outbreaks of dengue, in a way that will allow us to better face the threat of an outbreak of chikungunya virus in the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon.
