Over 520,000 dengue illnesses and 392 deaths have been reported in Argentina in 2024. The newest Health Ministry statement shows a continuous drop in occurrence over the past 13 weeks, giving hope despite the frightening data.
Dengue cases in Argentina have increased significantly since January. The northwest has 24.1% of reported cases, while the northeast has 13.1%. The central region has been hardest hit, with 60.7%.
Dengue, a mosquito-borne virus, causes fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. The Health Ministry’s National Epidemiological Bulletin lists these symptoms as the most common in the dead.
Though the situation is dire, the incidence rate is dropping, now at 1,141 cases per 100,000 people. This shows that mosquito control and public health interventions may be reducing the incidence.
Awareness and prevention are essential as Argentina fights this public health issue. Understanding symptoms, seeking medical assistance, and controlling mosquitoes are crucial to preventing dengue.
Stay informed and alert while Argentina deals with this dengue outbreak, concentrating on rapid response and long-term prevention to protect public health.
