Dengue: cifra de muertos se eleva a 146 y casos a 155.000 a nivel nacional

Ninguna estrategia parece funcionarle al Minsa en la lucha contra el dengue, pues la cifra de decesos y pacientes positivos sigue en aumento. Al cierre de la semana n° 15, los casos acumulados llegan a 155.274, lo que equivale a un aumento superior al 200% en comparación al año anterior, cuando se alcanzó los 33.828 casos.Este avance de la enfermedad ha llevado lamentablemente al fallecimiento de 146 personas, según cifras del propio Ministerio de Salud (Minsa).

De acuerdo con la Sala Situacional del dengue, de las cinco regiones más afectadas, Lima encabeza la lista con 38.557 casos, 7.824 más que en el 2023; luego está La Libertad, con 31.723 infectados, 5.213 más que el año anterior. Le siguen Ica con 20.784 casos, 3.886 más que en el 2023; Piura, con 19.913 y finalmente Áncash, con 13.651 casos.

Según el epidemiólogo Antonio Quispe, el incremento alarmante de casos durante el 2024 se debe a las malas estrategias de prevención que implementó el Minsa, como la fumigación en lugares no estratégicos ni en periodos concretos. Asimismo, criticó la respuesta casera que muchas personas están dando a la epidemia que consiste en automedicarse. Considera que es una causa probada en el aumento de cifras de mortalidad.

En tanto, el viceministro de Salud Pública, Ricardo Peña, mencionó un futuro programa de vacunación contra el dengue, pero la implementación de esta medida aún requiere de cuidadosa planificación y los primeros pasos de este proyecto podrían iniciarse a partir del segundo semestre del año.

Vacunación

Solución. Minsa iniciaría un plan de vacunación contra el dengue tras llegar a 155.274 casos. Esta medida sería aplicada a los menores de 16 años que hayan tenido esta enfermedad.

Cifras en alarmante aumento en semanas

Según las cifras del propio Ministerio de Salud, al cierre de la semana 15 hay 155.274 contagiados con dengue y en la semana 14 hubo 134.034, esto significa que aumentó a 21.240 los casos de infectados en el Perú.

De igual manera, hasta la semana 15 fallecieron 146 personas por esta enfermedad y en la semana 14, un total de 137, es decir, 9 peruanos más perdieron la vida durante este tiempo.

Los adultos y adultos mayores son los más contagiados

De acuerdo al registro de minsa, hay 23.825 niños a nivel nacional contagiados por dengue y 20.231 adolescentes. Asimismo, hay 60.559 adultos infectados con esta enfermedad y 16.467 adultos mayores.
