Journal Title: Revista Cuarzo - Year 2020, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction. Despite the surveillance strategies, it is believed that there is an underreporting of dengue, which may be secondary to the non-detection of cases, either due to non-consultation of the patient, due to failure in the diagnosis or filling in of notification sheets. Objective. Estimate the under-registration of dengue cases in the municipality of Tocaima during the period from January to September 2019 and to establish the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding dengue of the inhabitants of the municipality Methodology and Materials. A cross-sectional study of prevalence was carried out during the period from January to September 2019, in the urban population of Tocaima, through surveys of 2 dwellings of the 262 blocks selected by simple random sampling in the active community search, and in 100% of individual records of service provision and Sivigila through institutional active search. Results. 440 people were surveyed, 19 of whom reported having symptoms and signs of dengue in the study period, of these, six people did not attend a medical consultation. The Community Under-registration for lack of attendance at medical consultation was 31.5%. 125 cases of dengue reported in the period were identified in SIVIGILA and 156 in the Individual Service Provision Registry (RIPS), applying the Chandra-Sekar Deming method, a total of 257 cases were estimated, for a SIVIGILA Institutional Sub-registry of 48,5%. Conclusions. There are several reasons why not all cases of the disease were notified to the surveillance system, the first is that only the cases of people who consult the health services and who also live in Tocaima, La Second, some cases detected were not notified to the surveillance system due to procedural errors, or due to lack of knowledge of the diagnosis by health personnel.
