Adicionar Tag | Resumo: | Dengue is one of the most important tropical diseases worldwide and is currently considered an epidemiological emergency due to the increase in cases in both endemic and non-endemic areas, combined with the difficulty of correctly identifying cases because of the similarity of clinical manifestations with other febrile illnesses in the region to which Ecuador belongs. This study aims to describe the epidemiological behavior of dengue in the provinces of Loja and Zamora according to climatic and biological factors, from the years 2018 to 2022, with the purpose of reducing the incidence of the disease. An analytical study with a mixed approach was conducted, involving a population of 1710 dengue cases in the provinces of Loja and Zamora Chinchipe from 2018 to 2020. Data were obtained from the epidemiological bulletins of the National University of Loja. The SPSS software was used to calculate the descriptive statistics of the variables, as well as the trend lines of the variables, temperature, and precipitation. It was found that cases are similar in both provinces, with a higher prevalence in woman at 50.7%. The age group with the highest number of infections corresponds to those between 20 and 49 years old, with 48.6%. Regarding the climatic season, it is evident that 50.4% of the cases occurred during the dry season compared to the rainy season, and 56.5% of the cases occurred during the cold season compared to the warm season. Additionally, a virtual education resource in video format was developed to aid in the prevention of dengue |
