Yucatán remains the state with the highest number of confirmed dengue cases in the Peninsula, according to the most recent report from the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (Sinave).
To date, 67 infections have been recorded so far this year, surpassing Quintana Roo, which has 51 cases, and Campeche, where 11 cases have been confirmed.
The disease, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, has shown worrying trends in the state. Of the cases reported in Yucatán, 37 have presented warning signs, 26 have been classified as classic dengue, and 4 as severe.
Although no deaths have been officially confirmed in the state, health authorities are analyzing five possible deaths related to this cause.
Regarding the geographical distribution of infections, the municipality of Dzemul leads the list with the highest incidence of positive cases, followed by Chikindzonot. Other municipalities such as Akil and Tinúm are also listed as risk areas, so surveillance and vector control efforts have been intensified.
Nationally, Sinave has recorded 2,908 confirmed cases of dengue so far this year, with a total of 12 related deaths.
Quintana Roo has so far reported one confirmed death from the disease. Health authorities reiterate their call to the population to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and seek medical attention if any symptoms appear.
