ABSTRACT

Background: outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers are emerging and reemerging around the world.
Objective: to provide information for health workers and students.
Methods: a bibliographic search was made in Infomed (in the data bases EBSCO, PUBMED and SciELO) with the descriptors fiebres hemorrágicas virales and viral hemorrhagic fevers.
Development: this group of diseases was characterized as a whole. The coincidences and general measures for control and prevention were analyzed.
Conclusions: this paper is condensed and useful information for health professionals and students since there are coincidences in the use of participatory methods of transdisciplinary teams, in the generation of reliable and effective data bases, in the diversification of analytical methods and in the necessity of preparing the health staff to face these epidemic outbreaks.
