Abstract

Se realizó una investigación observacional descriptiva para caracterizar epidemiológicamente la epidemia de dengue ocurrida en la provincia de Ciego de Ávila en el año 2006; el universo estuvo representado por el total de casos confirmados de dengue; se evaluaron indicadores epidemiológicos que caracterizaron la epidemia como: sobremorbilidad en el sexo femenino y la población adulta. Correspondió a la semana estadística 26 el punto de inflexión epidémica y a la semana 38 el punto de deflexión, a partir del cual los casos disminuyeron progresivamente hasta el control total del evento. La importancia relativa del síndrome febril con relación a los casos confirmados mostró cualidades de trazador en situaciones epidémicas para este indicador. El proceso de estratificación del riesgo de transmisión designó a los municipios de Morón, Ciego de Ávila, Venezuela y Baraguá como los territorios que por más tiempo mantuvieron la condición de “alto riesgo”.
