In Brazil, dengue is present in almost all states and territories, with a circulation of three different serotypes (DEN 1, DEN 2 and DEN 3), resulting in about 500 000 cases reported in 2007 (PAHO 2008; MS / SVS 2008a). This dissertation consists of a literature review, with emphasis on the epidemiology of dengue in Brazil and two articles that are designed to analyze the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of this condition, focusing on children under 15 years old, in Goiânia. The first article provides a profile analysis 59. 157 reported cases of dengue (SINAN), in Goiania, from 2001 to 2006. It also presents a reliability evaluation of the clinical classification of dengue, as recorded in the SINAN, compared with a revised classification proposed by the authors. There was an increase of dengue fever with complications or Dengue hemorrhagic fever in all age groups (p <0.05), children showed more hemorrhagic manifestations, however, no difference in the proportion of severe cases among adults and children. The results showed a low capacity of the surveillance system for classifying cases potentially serious in children under 15 years old (Kappa = 0.22; 95% CI 0.20 to 0.24). The second article examines 162 children under 15 years with acute febrile illness suggestive of dengue fever, attended from 2005 to 2006. We collected blood samples for detection of IgM anti-dengue (MAC-ELISA), molecular biology test (RT-PCR) and virus isolation. Half the cases were laboratory confirmed by serology and 84 and five by RT-PCR and / or virus isolation and identification of DEN 3 in all. Myalgia, arthralgia, rash, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia were more frequent among confirmed cases (p <0.05). PPV and NPV for suspected dengue cases, by clinical criteria, were respectively 54.8% and 40.0%. Recommended clinical criteria for diagnosis of dengue were reluctant for this specific age group, even in a region of high endemicity.
