Brazil health reports show declining trends in SRAG and dengue

Public health reports from Brazil indicate varying trends in infectious diseases. In Acre, the state remains under alert for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SRAG), though cases are showing a downward trend in both short-term and long-term indicators. According to Fiocruz, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) remains a primary cause of severe cases, particularly among young children.

In Londrina, epidemiological data shows a significant 71% reduction in confirmed dengue cases in 2026 compared to the previous year, with deaths dropping by 78%. Local health authorities attribute this decline to integrated contingency plans and mosquito control efforts.

Regarding respiratory illnesses in Londrina, SRAG hospitalizations have remained stable, with a recent shift in the patient profile showing a higher concentration of cases among children under 12. While the circulation of viruses like rhinovirus and influenza continues, health officials emphasize the need for maintained vaccination efforts, noting that flu vaccine coverage among priority groups like the elderly and children remains below the 90% target.
