Abstract
Con el objetivo de identificar las características epidemiológicas del brote de dengue entre los meses de enero a mayo del 2022 en la jurisdicción del Hospital San Ignacio de Casma, ubicado en el Distrito de Casma, Provincia de Ancash; se ejecutó un estudio de tipo observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, a través de una base de datos organizados y estructurados en formato Excel, que se recolectó de las fichas de investigación clínico epidemiológico para la vigilancia de dengue, chikungunya, zika, fiebre amarilla y otras arbovirosis; de los pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de dengue, atendidos en el Hospital San Ignacio de Casma. Se identificaron 1337 casos confirmados positivos a dengue. El 53% de casos confirmados de dengue se presentó en personas del sexo femenino, y 47% en personas del sexo masculino. El grupo etario con mayor número de casos confirmados con dengue fue el de adulto que constituye de 30 a 59 años, con un 38%; seguido del grupo etario de Joven que constituye de los años 18 a 29 años con 28%. El promedio de edad fue de 29.41 años. Cabe precisar, que el mayor número de casos se evidenció entre las semanas epidemiológicas 09,10,11; teniendo el pico más alto de casos en la semana 10. Se concluye, que la caracterización epidemiológica nos permite determinar cuál fue la población más vulnerable durante un brote, con el fin de tomar las medidas preventivas en salud pública, en futuros brotes en la jurisdicción del Hospital San Ignacio de Casma, Ancash.
