Unicamp infectious disease specialist points out facts, doubts and perspectives on the current yellow fever scenario

The year 2017 was the year in which the largest outbreak of yellow fever in recent times devastated the Southeast region of Brazil: between July 2016 and June 2017, 777 cases of the disease were confirmed, of which 261 deaths. Since the beginning of 2018, the Ministry of Health has reported 1.080 suspected cases, 213 of which have already been confirmed and 81 are fatal. But, what to expect from yellow fever in 2018, especially during Carnival?

The infectious disease doctor from the Hospital Epidemiology Section of the Hospital de Clínicas da Unicamp, Rodrigo Angerami, has just written the text "Yellow fever in 2018: facts, doubts and perspectives in review" for the Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases. Angerami says that there was mistake, naivety or some degree of convenience by those who declared, in 2017, that the yellow fever outbreak was over.
