DISTRIBUTION OF DENGUE DEATH CASES BY AGE GROUP (1997 – 2007) NO. OF CASES YEAR
DENGUE MORTALITY 112 dengue deaths reported for 2008 (98 cases in 2007 Only 62 cases were reviewed by the state mortality review committee 19
CAUSE OF DEATH DIAGNOSIS OF MORTALITY CASES 23
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR DENGUE MORTALITY 53% of the death were preventable 25
Key Components of Dengue Control Strategy Early diagnosis and treatment Training of frontliners Health education to public on importance of early diagnosis and treatment Active case detection in outbreak localities Prompt notification Within 24 hours By phone Nearest District Health Office Case Investigation within 24 hours Prompt vector control response Within 24 hours of notification Fogging within 200 m radius 400 m if outbreak locality Quality Assurance Program -Dengue Outbreak Control Index (DOCI): 100% outbreak controlled within 14 days
Key Components of Dengue Control Strategy Proper Case Management CPG- The Management Of Dengue Infection In Adult/Children (2nd Edition) All dengue death are audited immediately. Appropriate remedial actions are taken by the relevant parties and report to be sent to the Disease Control Division within 2 weeks Health Education And Community Mobilization Production of health materials/ mass media Guidelines on health education and community mobilization activities in outbreak localities Guidelines on COMBI For Dengue Prevention and Control
CHALLENGES IN THE DENGUE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES Health seeking behavior of the dengue patient: Only 4% of cases were from the clinic and majority from hospital 50% of the dengue mortality cases were admitted on day 4 or 5 after onset - delay in seeking treatment 47% of dengue mortality cases came in already ill Difficult to break the dengue virus transmission: Only 35% of patient diagnosed within 3 days from the onset of illness Only 19% of dengue cases’ residence were fogged within 5 days of onset of illness Thus other patients infected with the dengue virus may still transmit the disease 28
CHALLENGES IN THE DENGUE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES Low index of suspicion of dengue cases by the attending doctors: Delayed notification Delay in giving appropriate treatment Lack in community cooperation and participation in the dengue prevention and control activities 29
CONCLUSION-1 To strengthen the implementation of dengue prevention and control measure (to be alert and responsive) Ensure effective and efficient performance of the control activities through: Monitoring & supervision Analysis of data at district, state, and MOH level
CONCLUSION-2 Strengthen the prevention and control activities at district and state level Facilitate training for healthcare workers to increase knowledge and skills on the dengue management and vector control Continuous monitoring of dengue status and mortality at all levels, as to address uncontrolled situation of the disease
