SUMMARY:

Dengue is an acute and systemic febrile illness, which can have a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic to severe cases. It is an arboviruses transmitted mainly by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, being one of the most important health problems worldwide, causing annual epidemics mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, putting almost a third of the planet's population at risk. The present work presents an analysis of a time series and spatial distribution of dengue cases in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. Secondary data from dengue cases notified in the period between 2016 and 2020 were used, available in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases and Epidemiological Bulletins of the State Department of Health, in the respective years. The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. During the time series, a total of 152,628 probable cases of Dengue were reported, with 37,489 cases being confirmed, representing 24.56%. The health region VII, which corresponds to the Metropolitan region of Natal, had the largest number of confirmed cases, totaling 17,654 cases, representing approximately 47.09% of the number of confirmed cases in the state during the period studied. Regarding sociodemographic characterization, females had a higher prevalence of the disease and the most affected age group is between 20 and 49 years old. Dengue in this period studied, showed an epidemiological behavior that characterizes an endemic profile, which can be directly related to the state's infrastructure problems. Our data show an apparent reduction in the number of dengue cases reported in the year 2020. It is possible that this reduction in the number of cases of the disease was due to underreporting, since all the efforts of the health services were focused on coping with the disease. current Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
