Dengue is an underreported disease globally. In 2010, the World Health Organization recorded 2.2 million dengue cases (1), but models projected that the number of symptomatic dengue cases might have been as high as 96 million (2). Brazil reports more cases of dengue than any other country (1); however, the degree of dengue underreporting in Brazil is unknown. We conducted a study to evaluate dengue underreporting by Brazil’s Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação [SINAN]).
