“…Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever are considered the most important and disseminated viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. Aedes aegypti plays a crucial role in transmission of these infections (PAHO 1995, Rodhain & Rosen 1997, Nogueira et al 1999.…”

“…19,26 Between 2001 and 2002 there was in the state of Rio de Janeiro the largest epidemic since the 1980s, coinciding with the isolation of serotype 3 (DEN 3): 17 of 368,460 notifi ed cases in the state, 177,919 were from the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. a Dengue control is one of the health services' most diffi cult tasks due to the vector's broad capacity for dispersion, to populations' mobility, to the size of the cities' population and to the complexity of the social and political problems that affect the quality of life and the environment.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the dengue epidemic in relation to the socioeconomic context according to geographical areas. METHODS:An ecological study was conducted in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (Southeastern Brazil), in areas delimited as neighborhoods, based on information about notifi ed dengue cases concerning residents in the municipality. The average incidence rate of dengue was calculated between the epidemiological weeks: 48 th of 2001 and 20 th of 2002. The occurrence of dengue was correlated with socioeconomic variables through Pearsons' correlation coeffi cient. Moran's global and local indexes were used to assess the spatial auto-correlation between dengue and the variables that signifi cantly correlated with the disease. The multiple linear regression model and the conditional auto-regression spatial model were used to analyze the relationship between dengue and socioeconomic context. RESULTS:The neighborhoods located in the west zone of the municipality presented high rates of average dengue incidence. The variables presenting signifi cant correlation were: percentage of households connected with the general sanitary network, households with washing machines, and population density per urban area. Moran's spatial auto-correlation index revealed spatial dependence between dengue and the selected variables. The utilized models indicated percentage of households connected with the general sanitary network as the sole variable signifi cantly associated with the disease. The residual fi gures in both models revealed signifi cant spatial auto-correlation, with a positive Moran Index (p<0.001) for linear regression model, and a negative one (p=0.005) for the conditional auto-regression one. CONCLUSIONS:Problems related to basic sanitation contribute decisively to increase the risk of the disease.

“…Its incidence has increased in tropical areas, where the main vector, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus), has spread due to unplanned urbanization and lack of effective controls [1]. In Brazil, there has been an increase in the frequency of epidemics and the geographic expansion of both the mosquito vector and the viruses [2].…”

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Cardiac rhythm disorders, such as atrioventricular blocks and ventricular ectopic beats, appear during infection and are attributed to viral myocarditis. However, supraventricular arrhythmias have not been reported. We present a case of acute atrial fibrillation, with a rapid ventricular rate, successfully treated with intravenous amiodarone, in a 62-year-old man with dengue hemorrhagic fever, who had no structural heart disease.
