Abstract

Introduction: Latin American countries suffered from the Covid-19 pandemic, but they still faced together other endemics, such as those caused by arbovirus, mainly by the Dengue virus (DENV). Objective: to carry out an integrated review of the literature in order to gather and synthesize the materials found in the literature about the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the dengue scenario in Latin America and answer the question: “How did the Covid-19 pandemic affect the Dengue cases in Latin America?” Methodology: For this, a search was carried out in PubMed, Scielo and LILACS databases, with the descriptors Coinfection AND Dengue AND Covid-19. Results: Nine articles were selected, which showed that during the Covid-19 pandemic there was neglect of arboviruses, limitations and economic/administrative impact on dengue control, obstacles in the diagnosis of both pathologies, complications generated by the DENV-SARS- coinfection. COV-2 as well as variation in the number of dengue cases during this period. The selected articles had a good level of evidence and a low risk of bias. Conclusion: the cocirculation between DENV and SARS-CoV-2 is a triggering factor of harmful effects to an entire biopsychosocial and pathophysiological structure, demanding expansion of research on this topic, given the reduced amount of findings on the subject.
