Abstract: Introduction: Dengue is an acute fever disease of sudden beginning, which is characterized by fever, cefalea, arthralgia, myalgia, rash, nausea, vomits and is caused by the Dengue virus that belongs to the Flaviviridae family, flavivirus genre and has four viral serotypes DEN -1, DEN - 2, DEN - 3, DEN – 4. It is transmitted by female mosquito bites from the Aedes aegypti genre and the A. albopictus. Medically, it constitutes the most important viral disease transmitted by anthropoid and the most important in terms of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is more important to assess the detection of antibodies IgM Dengue with immune enzymatic test UMELISA IgM Dengue plus in the surveillance of Dengue. Material and Methods: An observational study of transversal type was done from January to December 2017 in SUMA Laboratory of Advance Technology Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology Provincial Center of Ciego de Ávila, Cuba to samples of specimen of serum that were collected from people with SFI from the 6th day of the beginning of symptoms to detect antibodies IgM against Dengue using immune enzymatic test UMELISA IgM Dengue plus. Results: The results are represented in graphs from January to December 2017. Conclusions: The month of greater reactivity was October with 25.99% and the municipalities more affected were Baraguá with 20%, Ciego de Ávila with 11.99%, Morón with 11.86%, and Ciro Redondo with 11.11% of reactivity which were municipalities with transmission. The positive and negative control serum of the test was under statistic control. The concordance between the tests was 86.60% and the prevalence for the UMELISA IgM DENGUE PLUS test was 10.32%.
