Characterization of hospitalizations for yellow fever in the period from July 2016 to June 2018 in public hospitals in Brazil of the SUS network Objective: To analyze the data on hospital admissions, funded by SUS of patients with yellow fever from July 2016 to June of 2018, available on DATASUS. Methodology: Epidemiological, ecological, retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach, using data from the Hospital Information System (SIH) available in DATASUS. Results: 1407 admissions occurred in the analyzed period. SUS network, during the analyzed period, there were 1407 hospitalizations due to yellow fever. Of these, 297 cases evolved to death, with a mean lethality rate of 21.11%. The surveillance period 2017-2018 was the one that presented the largest number of hospitalizations with (791) 56.22% of the total. The diagnosis of yellow fever of unknown origin (A95.9) predominated with 66.74 cases. Of the total number of hospitalized patients, 1,120 (79.6%) were male, with a case fatality rate of 23.39%, higher than that seen in females, 12.2. The age group of young adults was the most concentrated hospitalizations. Having greater beak between 35 and 54 years. The vast majority of AF hospitalizations occurred in the Southeast region, with 95.31% of the total. The most affected condition was Mina Gerais, with 890 hospitalizations (63.26), followed by São Paulo, with 210 (14.93) Conclusion: the risk of reurbanization of yellow fever has increased, due to the increasing incidence of cases close to centers, with large unimmunized population. And high rates of infestation by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The intensification of sanitary surveillance and expansion of vaccination areas is urgent.
