DRIGGS, Yusleimi Consuelo; AGUILAR PENAS, Leyra Maday  y  BATISTA PUPO, Frank Javier. Importance of preventing dengue. Rev cubana med [online]. 2021, vol.60, n.3, e2029.  Epub 15-Sep-2021. ISSN 0034-7523.

Introduction:

Dengue is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus. It is a complex problem both because of its magnitude and because of the elements that must be taken into account to its control. In our region current situation, this reality constitutes a challenge for the control of the mosquito vector, and therefore, of the disease.

Objective:

To describe this disease and to demonstrate the need for community actions to control dengue and its prevention.

Methods:

A systematic review of documents from scientific societies dedicated to Epidemiology was carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) with a date limit from April 2015 to April 2020, and including articles in both English and Spanish. Two hundred sixty-two studies were located, finally 20 were selected.

Conclusions:

In the future, the appearance of strains producing higher viremia due to the genetic diversity of the virus is expected, with more complicated clinical cases. We are facing a disease that offers a challenge to doctors, hence the importance of working on its prevention to avoid the spread of the disease in our population.
