Abstract

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sobre la enfermedad del Nilo Occidental y su evolución
histórica desde el descubrimiento en 1937 en Egipto, hasta la detección en el continente
americano en los Estados Unidos en 1999 y su posterior diseminación a otros países
cercanos, incluyendo a Cuba en el año 2005. Se realizó la caracterización clínico epidemiológica
de la enfermedad, se establecieron los criterios para la definición de casos y todas las actividades
a desarrollar en Cuba como el diagnóstico, atención médica, tratamiento y control de foco, no
solo por el Ministerio de Salud Pública sino por todos los ministerios vinculados al sistema de
protección y vigilancia en humanos, aves y equinos.
