Dengue outbreaks in Peru

Overview

Dengue fever outbreaks have been reported in multiple regions of Peru. In the Bagua area, health authorities identified 569 accumulated cases across the Bagua, Imaza, and Aramango districts, with 12 patients hospitalized. Officials attributed the rise in infections to rainfall facilitating mosquito proliferation and initiated fumigation and breeding site control efforts.

In the La Libertad region, the situation has escalated significantly, with the Ministry of Health recording 5,677 cases. This surge includes two confirmed deaths in the province of Virú. Health officials have expressed concern over medical supply shortages, specifically regarding catheters and venoclisis equipment, and noted that El Niño climatic conditions may further complicate the epidemiological outlook.
