Alerta epidemiológica, Casos confirmados de Encefalitis de San Luis en Ciudad de Buenos Aires, República Argentina, Riesgo de diseminación (24 marzo 2010)
Abstract
On 19 March 2010, the Ministry of Health of Argentina reported the occurrence of two confirmed cases of Saint Louis Encephalitis (SLE) infection in the nation’s capital city of Buenos Aires. The SLE virus has caused outbreaks in the central part of the country (mainly in the provinces of Córdoba and Entre Ríos), and this is the first time that it has been detected in Buenos Aires. This virus has epidemic potential, as has been shown by what occurred in 1975 in the United States in the Ohio and Mississippi River basins, where some 2,000 people developed the neuro-invasive form of the disease. El 19 de marzo de 2010, el Ministerio de Salud de Argentina notificó la ocurrencia de dos casos confirmados de infección por el virus de la encefalitis de San Luis (ESL) en Ciudad de Buenos Aires. El virus de la ESL ha ocasionado brotes en la región centro del país (principalmente en las provincias de Córdoba y Entre Ríos) y es la primera vez que se detecta en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Este virus presenta potencial epidémico como lo demostró lo ocurrido en 1975 en los Estados Unidos, en las cuencas de los ríos Ohio y Mississippi, donde unas 2000 personas desarrollaron la forma neuroinvasiva de la enfermedad.
