[Convalescence of pregnant women who suffered from dengue serotype 3].

Introduction: dengue is an infectious disease caused by ARN genome virus and has 4 recognized serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4) that are transmitted by Aedes aegypti as the main vector. The clinical manifestations of dengue in pregnancy are similar to those of the general population, except that the ecosystem is made up by the mother and the fetus where the virus with its genetic characteristics is introduced and finds special conditions for development and evolution.

Objective: to study the progression of the dengue symptoms in women who got sick during their pregnancy for one year of follow-up.

[Sequence of viral infection associated to pregnancy in a dengue outbreak in Santiago de Cuba in 2006].

Introduction: several dengue outbreaks have taken place in Santiago de Cuba province in the last few years, in which pregnant women have been involved.

Objectives: to determine the immunity and to describe the role of dengue infection and its sequence.

Methods: an observational and descriptive study was conducted to characterize dengue immunity in mothers and children after 10 and 12 months of birth and to determine the influence of certain viral infection sequences in pregnant women who suffered this disease during the dengue 3 epidemics in Santiago de Cuba.
