ABSTRACT:
Dengue remains a major challenge for health surveillance, requiring timely detection, high-quality reporting, and an integrated response when cases increase. This chapter analyzes dengue monitoring as a compulsorily notifiable disease and systematizes the essential components of outbreak control. A narrative and documentary review of scientific publications and national and international technical documents was conducted, prioritizing materials published between 2020 and 2026. The synthesis shows that the usefulness of reporting depends on data timeliness, completeness, consistency, and representativeness. Epidemiological, laboratory, entomological, healthcare, environmental, and territorial indicators should be jointly interpreted to identify changes above the expected pattern. Effective response requires rapid investigation, risk stratification, organization of the healthcare network, timely clinical management, integrated vector control, risk communication, and community participation. Early warning systems and primary healthcare data may anticipate transmission signals when incorporated into routine decision-making. Outbreak control therefore depends less on isolated actions and more on continuous, coordinated surveillance guided by local indicators.
