Introduction: The trinational border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina has characteristics such as the existence of a floating population and regions characterized by social inequalities that can influence the dengue incidence rate. Objective: Identify a possible link between the emergence of dengue fever and sociodemographic, laboratory and clinical variables in the municipalities of the triple border among Brazil (Foz do Iguaçu), Paraguay (Ciudad del Este) and Argentina (Puerto Iguazú), between 2011 and 2020. Methods: Retrospective, crosssectional and quantitative study, developed based on secondary data, through the three federations: Notifiable Diseases Information System (Brazil); Surveillance and/or disease notification (Paraguay) and; Open Data from the Ministry of Health (Argentina). The data were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney, χ2 or G tests, significance level 5%. The incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants was calculated. Results: 73,167 cases and an incidence rate of 31,022.7 of dengue were reported in the triple border. Foz do Iguazu was the municipality with the highest number of cases and incidence rate, followed by Ciudad del Este and Puerto Iguazu (p<0.05). More than 50% of the years investigated had a high incidence rate, predominantly in women (55.6%), white (69.2%) and in the age group of 20 to 39 years (38.4%). There was a low incidence of hospitalization (3.7%) of the total cases and the cure was superior (89.2%) (p<0.05). Discussion: The results require the creation of preventive public policies involving the three countries. Conclusion: The triple border had high dengue incidence rates during the epidemic years with a statistically significant association with the variables investigated.
