In the Region of the Americas, between epidemiological week (EW) 1 and EW 351 of 2019, a total of 2,384,029 cases of dengue (244.1 cases per 100,000 population) have been reported, including 949 deaths. Of the total cases, 1,065,701 (44.7%) were laboratory-confirmed and 17,794 (0.7%) were classified as severe dengue. The reported case-fatality rate was 0.04%. The number of cases reported in 2019 as of EW 35 (2,384,029) is higher than the annual totals reported in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and the total by the end of the year will likely exceed the total reported in the epidemic year of 2015. In 2019, the proportion of severe dengue (0.7%) has exceeded that observed in the previous four years. Entre la semana epidemiológica (SE) 1 y la SE 351 de 2019 en la Región de las Américas se notificaron 2.384.029 casos de dengue (incidencia de 244,1 casos por 100.000 habitantes), incluidas 949 defunciones. De esos casos, 1.065.701 (44,7%) fueron confirmados por criterios de laboratorio. Del total de casos reportados, 17.794 (0,7%) fueron clasificados como dengue grave y la letalidad fue de 0,04%. El total de casos reportados (2.384.029), hasta la semana 35 de 2019, fue superior al total registrado durante todo el año en 2016, 2017 y 2018, y es probable que, hacia el fin del año, el total de casos supere al histórico registrado en el año epidémico 2015 (Figura 1). Con relación a la proporción de dengue grave, la cifra (0,7%) ha superado a lo observado en los cuatro años previos.
