ABSTRACT

Introduction: dengue is one of the most frequent infections caused by arbovirus affecting people in most of the tropical countries, where the environment conditions favor the development and proliferation of Aedes Aegypti.
Objective: to characterize, clinically and epidemiologically, the patients with dengue.
Materials and Methods: cross-sectional observational study in a population formed by 89 in-patients with positive IgM-capture monoserum for dengue who were admitted in the J ward of the Internal Medicine Service of the Provincial Hospital "José Ramón López Tabrane" of Matanzas during 2014. The used variables were: age, sex, clinical manifestations, month of presentation, municipality of origin, trips to other provinces or countries, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, and hematocrit. The percentage was used as a summary measure and the results were given in charts. The patients' personal and identification data were not published.
Results: the female sex (51,7 %) and ages between 20 and 30 years (24,7 %) predominated. More than half of a patients presented fever and myalgia. August was the month with more admissions, for 24,7 %. Most of the patients travelled to Havana (78,9 %), followed by Camaguey and Guantanamo, for 5,8 % and 3.9 % respectively. 100 % of the patients showed thrombocytopenia, and leucopenia was present in almost 80 %.
Conclusions: there was not found a direct relation between the patients' sex and disease onset. It was more frequently reported in young adults and in the rainy months.
