The province of Buenos Aires reported yesterday that the dengue outbreak doubled in several districts. A situation similar to what occurred in the last week in the province of Córdoba and in the city of Rosario.
At the national level, the largest number of cases are concentrated in the Center region with 36,249; while the NEA recorded 30,284, and then the NOA follows with 11,621; while in Patagonia the cases do not reach 300 like the Cuyo region.
In Buenos Aires, it was confirmed that cases went from 7,504 to 14,241 in the last week; while in Córdoba 3,754 new cases were registered and in Santa Fe they rose from 8,227 to 12,111.
As reported by the Ministry of Health of Córdoba, so far in the 2024 season, there are 9,316 total cases reported, of that total, 8,774 are autochthonous; and seven people died.
In Santa Fe, although cases are increasing throughout the province, Rosario continues to be the epicenter of the outbreak, according to the latest epidemiological bulletin.
So far this year, more than 17 thousand infections have been confirmed in the province and in Rosario: 9,791.
In Mendoza, the Directorate of Epidemiology reported that 370 cases were notified to the National Surveillance System, and of those, 85 were confirmed. Of those 85, 36 have no travel history, so they are people who were infected in the province.
“There are 36 indigenous cases of those 370 reported cases. This is going to happen because our province has Aedes aegypti in all departments of the province, which is the mosquito vector of the disease,” commented the director of Epidemiology, Andrea Falaschi.
And he added: “We had been saying that Mendoza did not have indigenous cases, but the plasticity of the mosquito and the way it adapts to climate changes and the mobility of people.”
In Corrientes, meanwhile, around 4,000 cases of dengue have been registered.
