Climate Variability and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Hanoi, Viet Nam, During 2008 to 2015

Abstract: Dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) has been an important public health challenge in Viet Nam and worldwide. This study was implemented in 2016-2017 using retrospective secondary data to explore associations between monthly DF/DHF cases and climate variables during 2008 to 2015. There were 48 175 DF/DHF cases reported, and the highest number of cases occurred in November. There were significant correlations between monthly DF/DHF cases with monthly mean of evaporation ( r = 0.236, P < .05), monthly … Show more

“…Studies have documented dengue patients hospitalized year-round in the South and hospitalized only in the rainy season, from August to November, in the North [9, 11, 14], but in the outbreak 2017, patients with dengue in the North were also hospitalized around the year, including winter months (Table 1). It is possible that climate change with warming trend is a favorable factor for mosquitoes to develop and cause epidemics year-round not only in Southern Vietnam but also in the whole country [11, 13].…”

“…In this study, we collected the dengue data in Hanoi, Vietnam, a hot spot for dengue transmission in Asia-Pacific area [22]. The aims of this study were to characterize and compare short-term associations between temperature and dengue infection during different outbreak periods; to estimate the extent to which dengue cases can be attributed to temperature; and to ascertain if there is a link between heatwaves and subsequent dengue outbreaks.…”

“…This situation is following the case that happened in the work area of Jetis PHC. However, the literature indicates no direct correlation between monthly dengue cases with monthly rainfall and the average temperature (17). Therefore, it is necessary to maximize the early warning system and conduct appropriate studies to reduce future cases.…”
