“…These numbers are close to those found in our study. More recently, the overall dengue seroprevalence in the largest North coast Colombian City, Barranquilla, was found to be 88.2%, which was higher in women (93.1% vs. 87.6%), possibly due to this group extended period of household permanence, compared to male volunteers and showed a sevenfold risk of seropositivity in individuals older than 30 years (Tuesca-Molina et al, 2018). Also, the 11.8% IgM prevalence reported there was similar to the prevalence reported in the present study.…”

Colombia is a dengue hyperendemic country; however, the prevalence of antibodies against dengue in the general population including the inhabitants of rural areas is unknown. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dengue IgM and IgG antibodies in healthy children and adults in urban and rural areas of seven different endemic regions in Colombia between 2013 and 2015. Design or method: Blood samples from healthy volunteers (1,318) were processed by serology (by indirect IgG and capture IgM and IgG ELISA) and molecular tests to detect viral RNA and circulating serotypes. Results: The seroprevalence of IgG for dengue were 85% in children and over 90% for adults. In addition to the high IgM positive rate (14.9%) and secondary recent infection marker rate (capture IgG, 16%), 8.4% of the healthy volunteers were positive for dengue virus (DENV) RNA. Conclusion:This study confirmed the broad and permanent circulation of DENV in Colombia and the high rates of infection and reinfection suffered by its inhabitants. This information can be used by the health authorities to strengthen vector control and vaccine policies and review the algorithms of diagnosis and disease management in children and adults.

“…Se observó que las familias realizan actividades para prevenir la enfermedad, lo que minimiza la aparición de larvas. Lo anterior contrasta con otros estudios realizados, donde el nivel de medidas de prevención de la familia era deficiente y estaba relacionada por el déficit de conocimiento en cuanto al nivel educativo y de la enfermedad llevando a que adopten conductas de riesgo (Ortiz et al, 2018;Tuesca-Molina et al, 2018;Villarroel Huamaní et al, 2017).…”

Fundamentos: el dengue es una enfermedad transmitida por un vector presente en regiones tropicales y que ha tenido un aumento de casos a nivel mundial. El objetivo fue determinar el nivel de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas que tienen las familias sobre el dengue en un sector de la ciudad de Villavicencio, Colombia. Métodos: estudio cuantitativo, observacional descriptivo, transversal. Muestreo probabilístico bietápico y estratificado, con n = 306 familias. Instrumento encuesta sociodemográfica, instrumento Conocimientos Actitudes y Practicas validado para Colombia. Análisis con estadística descriptiva y de correspondencia múltiples, procesamiento de información por SPSS Vr.22. Resultados: sexo: predomina mujeres (65 %), la edad promedio 47 años, en promedio 4 habitantes por vivienda, nivel de escolaridad básica secundaria finalizada (28,1 %), técnico (13,1 %) universitario (18 %). Conocimiento del dengue, indicaron que era una enfermedad muy grave (84 %), que era transmitida por un zancudo (37,6 %) y que el síntoma principal era fiebre (89,9 %). Realizaban medidas de prevención como fumigar (14,9 %), lavar el tanque una vez por semana (39,9 %), cuando las personas se enferman de dengue reconocían la principal actividad como llevarlos al médico (58,2 %), se encontró que en un 3,2 % de la población se presentaron casos de dengue, hay correspondencia entre mayor estudio y nivel socioeconómico, mejores conocimiento y control de la enfermedad en las familias. Conclusiones: las familias tienen los conocimientos necesarios para emplear medidas de prevención, pero no tienen actitudes frente a la enfermedad y no realizan las prácticas suficientes para lograr prevenirlo.

“…Regarding the seroprevalence found, similar studies have been conducted in several countries to test their populations for recent infection (IgM) by DENV. This was done among individuals over the age of 15 in a dengue hyperendemic area in Barranquilla, Colombia, 23 among children and adolescents under 18 years and adults of ages between 18 and 95 years old in seven municipalities of five provinces in Colombia, 24 among adults in Jamaica 25 and among individuals with suspected dengue fever in southern Odisha 26 in India and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa 27 in Pakistan, and the percentage prevalences found were 14.9%, 11.8%, 3.6%, 21.05% and 31.86%, respectively. The prevalence of DENV found in the population in southern Odisha, India (21.05%) was the closest to what was found in the present study (26.0%).…”

BACKGROUND: Dengue is considered to be the most important arbovirus worldwide, with important complications that increase its lethality. In Brazil, an endemic country, the disease reaches significant incidence levels, with occurrences of serious cases and high costs of hospitalizations for its treatment. OBJECTIVE: To analyze risk factors among individuals with recent histories of dengue infection in a medium-sized city in Mato Grosso. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive cross-sectional study, of epidemiological-survey type, conducted among the urban population of a city located in mid-northern Mato Grosso. METHODS: A seroepidemiological survey using questionnaires and collection of biological material was conducted among 596 adults aged ≥ 18 years who had been selected through a cluster sampling process. Positive dengue cases were those with positive results from anti-dengue immunoassays (ELISA). Statistical analyses with descriptive and inferential techniques were used, with 95% confidence intervals and a 5% significance level. RESULTS:The seroepidemiological profile of the study participants was predominantly female, with ages between 18 and 39 years, self-declared non-white race/color, not more than eight years of education and not living with a companion. Among the sanitary factors analyzed, the following were risk factors for dengue virus infection: no running water at home; no water supply from the public piped network; no waste from drains or toilets sent to the sewage network; endemic disease combat agents visiting the home; and presence of mosquito breeding sites at home. CONCLUSION: Low schooling levels and previous dengue virus infection were associated with current dengue virus infection.
