Dengue and public health in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of sanitation in the city of Rio de Janeiro relating with the incidence of cases of dengue fever. For that, we sought to bring the concept of basic sanitation, according to the World Health Organization (who) and also address the evolution of this concept historically since the early 19TH century, with the absence of that service, until the beginning of the 21st century with the emergence of incentive laws and reports of current scenario especially with the infrastructure of the city during the year 2016 When the Olympic Games, as well as a aims to address disease cited information. The aim of this study was to compare the data provided by the city of Rio de Janeiro in relation to basic sanitation (sewage collection, with data from the years 2000 until 2014 and solid waste as the public garbage for the years 2010 and 2014) with the number of cases of dengue (2010, 2014 and 2016) in order to check how the lack of these resources interferes with the quality of life of the population and in the number of cases that illness. Noting common data 2010 and 2014, it was noted that the issues of basic sanitation does not match the contents of dengue fever cases in these same periods. It appears that you can't relate to such difficulties as causes only for airing of diseases, especially dengue and that there are other factors that can influence the appearance of this disease in the Administrative Regions (A.Rs).
