Abstract

Objective: to determine the time trend and spatial distribution of the confirmed dengue cases in Brazil between 2009 and 2019.

Method: this is an ecological and longitudinal study of a historical series of the dengue cases available in the Information System of Notifiable Health Problems. The data were analyzed by means of time trend and spatial distributions.

Results: the study denoted a stationary trend of the incidence coefficient (R=0.091; p>0.05). The Midwest region stood out among the Brazilian regions, with 42.04% incidence. In relation to the Brazilian states, Acre was the one with the highest incidence: 45.06%. Finally, regarding the severe form of dengue, the Southeast region stood out with 38.35% of the cases.

Conclusion: based on the epidemiological analyses, it was concluded that, in Brazil, dengue is still a relevant public health problem, given the high number of cases.
