Following the confirmation of a dengue case in the city, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Zoonosis Department, carried out the corresponding containment work this Tuesday while seeking to determine whether it is an autochthonous or imported case.
The General Directorate of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health of Entre Ríos reported that the confirmed case corresponds to a 40-year-old male patient, who presented clinical symptoms of fever, myalgia, and rash, consistent with dengue. Likewise, it was specified that the individual began to show symptoms on the 27th.
The notification was made through a private laboratory in our city, confirming the dengue case via PCR. Based on this, the corresponding protocols were applied in a joint effort between the Province and the Municipality.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Zoonosis Department carried out the pertinent containment actions in the area; and is currently planning the search for febrile cases in the patient's surroundings.
On the other hand, through the epidemiological investigation, it is being determined whether it corresponds to an autochthonous or imported case.
