METHODS: This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study, which was carried out through the analysis of secondary data collected from the National System of Notification Appeals (SINAN) and from SUS Computer Department (DATASUS). RESULTS: The total number of reported cases was 5,867,255, and 2015 was the year with the highest cases (1,696,340). The cases were predominant in the Southeast and Midwest macro-regions, the female sex (55.6%), brown people (48%), and clinical and epidemiological criteria of confirmation (63.8%). Regarding the age group, it was observed that during the study period, the highest prevalence occurred in individuals between 20 and 39 years (38.3%). There was a change of serotype from DENV-1 to DENV-2, and dengue was the most prevalent classification (95.2%). Concerning hospitalization rates, there was a limited necessity of admissions (5.7%), as well as few deaths due to the notified disease (3,444). CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant growth in the number of dengue fever cases in Brazil in 2019, which represents a public health problem. |
