Abstract
Objective: To analyze reported and positive dengue cases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the municipality of Itacoatiara-AM. Methods: This is a descriptive quantitative analysis that investigated the correlation between dengue cases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Itacoatiara-AM and notifications of probable dengue cases in the state of Amazonas, from 2020 to 2023. Using data, the Pearson Chi-Square Test was applied to compare reported and confirmed cases. The standard deviation was calculated to evaluate the dispersion of the data, analyzing influencing factors. Results: In Itacoatiara-AM, the specific cases per year were: 2020: 45 notifications, 15 positives; 2021: 69 notifications, 10 positives; 2022: 25 notifications, 11 positives; 2023: 45 notifications, 4 positives. In the state of Amazonas, in 2020, 6052 probable cases of dengue were reported, followed by 8274 in 2021, 5359 in 2022, and 6356 in 2023. Conclusion: There are still questions that can be expanded and deepened by new studies in order to better understand on the data collected in relation to behavior, diagnosis and notifications of dengue cases in the COVID-19 pandemic period.
