Overview
- Loreto health officials report more than 1,300 dengue cases and say clinics are seeing more patients with fever, which keeps the alert in place.
- Hospitals have 178 people admitted for dengue, and no deaths have been recorded this year.
- Yurimaguas accounts for 581 cases, which is about 44% of the regional total, with Iquitos and nearby districts reporting smaller clusters.
- Cases are 77% lower than the same period in 2025, yet officials note a recent upward trend that requires close watch.
- Warm, wet conditions create standing water that boosts Aedes mosquito breeding, so Diresa teams are going house to house to remove breeding sites and urge early care for warning signs.
