ABSTRACT

Introduction: arboviruses are viral diseases transmitted by mosquitoes with a high hygienic and sanitary impact, requiring adequate surveillance and vector control.
Objective: to characterize the surveillance and anti vector control of arboviruses in a primary health care institution.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out at Pedro Borras Astorga University Polyclinic in the city of Pinar del Río during the period April-August 2019. The variables included: vector infestation index, suspicion of arboviruses, human resources involved, results of surveillance and vector control, as well as educational activities on arboviruses. The results were presented in statistical tables and graphs, and comparisons were made with other studies reviewed in relation to this topic.
Results: the highest rate of infestation was found in August (0,7), 98,9 % of the patients were suspected of having dengue fever and 56,8 % of the human resources were students involved in the anti vector control activity. A total of 33 288 patients were treated and 1 378 patients with symptoms of arboviruses were identified. The face-to-face technique prevailed (23 590) as an educational activity on arboviruses.
Conclusions: low infestation indicators, efficient human resources in its control, satisfactory results in terms of the actions performed, as well as the development of educational activities on arboviruses were found. These characteristics showed the sustainability and entomological efficacy achieved in the institution, with repercussions on greater quality of life and protection of social and community health.
