The study was quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental and cross-sectional, with a sample of 294 adult patients treated at the hospital. The results showed that the mean age of the patients was 32.5 years, 53.1% were female, 92.5% completed secondary school, 51.4% were married and 88.8% came from the coast; the level of knowledge was medium with 70.7% and the level of knowledge in preventive practices was medium. In addition, the relationship between knowledge and preventive practices showed a rho=0.539, p=0.000; in its knowledge dimensions, it was found in generalities (rho=0.463, p=0.000), risk factors (rho=0.412, p=0.000) and preventive measures (rho=0.475, p=0.000). In conclusion, it was determined that there is a moderate relationship between the level of knowledge and preventive practices about dengue in patients attended in the emergency department of the hospital Las Mercedes de Paita during the year 2023
