This epidemiological-descriptive study aimed to describe the temporal evolution of dengue cases in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, between 1994 and 2003, according to month of occurrence and gender. Data were obtained from the compulsory notification forms provided by the Epidemiological Surveillance service of the Ribeirão Preto Municipal Health Secretary. We obtained incidence coefficients per 100,000 inhabitants, according to population estimates by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The city experienced a dengue epidemic in 2001, when the incidence coefficient reached 619.65 cases/100,000 inhabitants. We found 5553 cases during the study period, 0.07% of which occurred in 1994, 3.68% in 1995, 4.52% in 1996, 2.40% in 1997, 1.82% in 1998, 5.73% in 1999, 3.75% in 2000, 57.37% in 2001, 6.25% in 2002 and 14.39% in 2003. January to May were the months with the highest occurrence levels. As to the gender variable, we found a proportion of approximately 1:1, showing small fluctuations between men and women for dengue cases during the entire study period. Results indicate the need to study the theme and reinforce the role of teaching institutions to tackle dengue in Brazil.
这项流行病学描述性研究旨在根据发病月份和性别，描述1994年至2003年圣保罗州里贝朗普雷图市登革热病例的时间演变情况。数据来自里贝朗普雷图市卫生秘书流行病学监测服务部门提供的强制报告表。根据巴西地理与统计研究所的人口估计，我们计算了每10万居民的发病率系数。该市在2001年经历了登革热疫情，当时发病率系数达到619.65例/10万居民。在研究期间，我们共发现5553例病例，其中1994年占0.07%，1995年占3.68%，1996年占4.52%，1997年占2.40%，1998年占1.82%，1999年占5.73%，2000年占3.75%，2001年占57.37%，2002年占6.25%，2003年占14.39%。1月至5月是发病水平最高的月份。关于性别变量，我们发现男女比例约为1:1，在整个研究期间，登革热病例在男女之间的波动较小。结果表明有必要研究这一主题，并加强教育机构在巴西应对登革热方面的作用。
