Neste artigo é realizada revisão dos principais aspectos fisiopatológicos, clínicos, epidemiológicos e laboratoriais da febre amarela no Brasil, e também se abordam as linhas gerais do tratamento da doença. São ainda analisados e discutidos os mais recentes surtos e epidemias de febre amarela ocorridos no Brasil, bem como as suas causas e as conseqüências de eventual reurbanização da doença no país, risco que cresce a cada ano à medida que crescem os índices de infestação de Aedes aegypti e a crescente dispersão e transmissão do dengue no país. Finalmente, são comentadas as perspectivas da febre amarela para o século XXI no Brasil.This paper reviews the main epidemiological, clinical, laboratorial and pathological aspects of yellow fever.
