"Here in Belo Horizonte we're living a real epidemic of Dengue Fever. The numbers of cases are just increasing and only yesterday we've got 369 new cases confirmed. The risk of Yellow Fever that occurs in nearby states and the fear of the hemorrhagic type of Dengue is forcing the State to organize an war-like operation against _Aedes aegypti_. In the ER's we're admitting about 3-4 (10%) suspected cases per doctor per day. Until now, there are 2943 confirmed and 4687 suspected cases in the city and the disease that began in a few restricted areas is just spreading through all the town."--Alexandre Moura <amoura@joinnet.com.br VIA promed@usa.healthnet.org.
