Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

El dengue es hoy la más importante arbovirosis, por su gran carga de enfermedad e implicaciones sociales. El mosquito Aedes aegypti, su principal transmisor convive con el hombre en su hábitat domestico y peridoméstico. El cuadro clínico es de fiebre, cefalea, dolor retroocular, dolores corporales, exantema y mucho decaimiento. El enfermo puede empeorar súbitamente y presentar choque por dengue, con grandes hemorragias digestivas y elevada mortalidad. No existe droga antiviral, pero la muerte puede evitarse mediante la infusión intravenosa precoz de soluciones cristaloides. Algunos candidatos vacunales están actualmente en ensayo clínico. La prevención depende del control del vector, mediante educación sanitaria y reordenamiento ambiental.<br>Dengue is the most important arbovirosis in the World, with a huge burden of disease and social implications.
