Gabaldon-Figueira Siham Salmen Guillermo Teran-Angel Medicina Mayaro Venezuela Guanarito Togavirus Arenavirus Viral infectious diseases are common in Venezuela, influenza, dengue, yellow fever, HIV infection, viral Hepatitis, chikungunya fever and many others represent public health problems in the country and therefore, have been well documented. However, other rarer and even unique or lethal viral illnesses present in Venezuela are usually poorly understood or even unknown. This review described Venezuelan Hemorrhagic Fever, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, Hantavirus Infections and Mayaro fever, named as neglected diseases, emphasizing the etiologic agents and their most relevant pathogenic mechanisms, clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Although there is not an official report about the re-emergence of these diseases, falling living standards and unsanitary conditions, together with limited accessibility to hygiene products and medical supplies, put us on alert about the re-emergence of these neglected diseases. 2015 artículo científico 2477-9369 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=331341624006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3313 Avances en Biomedicina application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Avances en Biomedicina (República Bolivariana de Venezuela) Num.2 Vol.4 |
