Economic and epidemiological impact of dengue illness over 16 years from a public health system perspective in Brazil to inform future health policies including the adoption of a dengue vaccine

Abstract: Introduction: Dengue is a serious global health problem endemic in Brazil. Consequently, our aim was to measure the costs and disease burden of symptomatic dengue infections in Brazil from the perspective of the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) between 2000 and 2015 using Brazilian public health system databases. Specific age group incidence estimates were used to calculate the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to gain a better understanding of the disease burden. Areas covered: SUS spent almost USD15… Show more

“…In Brazil, overall, vector control programs have not produced satisfactory results; hence, the effectiveness of these interventions is still very limited [10][11][12] . Investments in the implementation of a rigorous and continuous national program and effective management of public services such as garbage collection and structured sanitation networks are required to reduce the prevalence of the disease in the country 13,14 . The identification of high-risk areas is necessary for the implementation of directed public health policies and basic services to reduce the burden of dengue 15 .…”

“…Therefore, further extensive simulations and analyses should be carried out in future work. Furthermore, as the epidemiological and morbidity burden associated with dengue increase substantially, it becomes more critical to measure estimates of health and economic costs of the disease [5,57,58]. Extensive cost-effectiveness analyses based on real dengue burden should be carried out in future research.…”
