Through this volume of data association rules were applied through analyzes with the APRIORI algorithm. The techniques were used through the free software WEKA and the algorithm implemented by it to generate association rules. Throughout the process the visualization, recognition and organization of the patterns discovered through maps were made, finding relationships among the thirteen analyzes that were carried out at the time of work. They involved the 52 epidemiological weeks and from that found rules that are applicable to programs to combat Dengue.
