The Overview of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in East Java During 2015-2017

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus which spreads more widely and the morbidity rate increases every year in East Java Province. DHF transmitting vector is widespread in residential areas and in public places, population density, population mobility, increasing urbanization. Purpose: This study aims to describe the number of cases, Incidence Rate (IR), Case Fatality Rate (CFR), and the peak incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in East Java Province in 2015-2017. Method: This study is a descriptive approach study with a population that is all East Java residents who are at risk of suffering from dengue. This study uses a total population technique that involves all DHF cases recorded in the East Java Provincial Health Profile for 2015-2017. The data used are secondary data obtained from the Health Profile of East Java Province in 2015-2017, namely the number of DHF cases, gender, morbidity and mortality rates due to DHF. Data were analyzed using the Incidence Rate (IR) and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) formulas. Results: The number of dengue cases in East Java in 2015 to 2017 fluctuated. DHF morbidity rates have increased in 2016 while 2017 has decreased. The mortality rate in East Java in 2015-2017 has decreased. DHF events often occur in male sex. Conclusion: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a vector-borne disease with rapid spread. The occurrence of dengue hemorrhagic fever every year there is an increase in cases and deaths of almost all regencies / cities in East Java.

Forecasting the number of dengue fever based on weather conditions using ensemble forecasting method

“…The cause of these differences can be caused by the presence of other factors or variables that cause an increase in cases of dengue fever. The dengue transmission of dengue cases in East Java tends to be influenced by population density, population mobility, urbanization, residental areas in public places [25]. In this research, the variable used to predict is only based on climate, so it is possible that there are other factors than climate that are sufficient to have more influence on the increase or decrease in the number of dengue cases.…”

Analisis Spasial Autokorelasi Kejadian Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) di Kota Tangerang Selatan Tahun 2014-2019

“…Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Dayani yang menyebutkan bahwa penyebaran populasi nyamuk Aedes aegypti tidak jauh dari tempat berkembang biak, peristirahatan, serta mangsanya, sehingga populasi nyamuk ini dapat dikatakan bergerombol dan tidak membentuk populasi yang homogen. 17 Keterbatasan penelitian ini bahwa data kasus penyakit yang digunakan tidak berbasis survei, tetapi menggunakan data surveilans yang hanya mencatat persentase kasus DBD dan kematian akibat DBD di Kota Tangerang Selatan yang kemudian dianalisis secara spasial tetapi tidak dilakukan analisis sebab-akibat.…”

An Epidemiological Overview of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (Dhf) Cases in Kediri Regency During 2017-202

“…Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected vectors of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and is a serious public health problem worldwide, including Indonesia. The disease spreads widely and rapidly, causing potential death in a short time (1). DHF is the most common and widespread among tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, most of which are found in urban and semi-urban areas (2).…”

“…The disease incidence is increasing dramatically, affecting 75% of the global population; however, the severity rate in the Asia-Pacific region is 18 times higher than that in America (4) Indonesia is a DHF-endemic region in Southeast Asia, located in the equatorial region, and has a tropical climate; thus, it has the potential to become a breeding ground for the mosquito vector of dengue viruses, which is principally transmitted by Aedes aegypti (5). Incidence cases in Indonesia are classified as fluctuating, but tend to experience improvement (1). At the end of 2018, Indonesia reported a dengue hemorrhagic outbreak in 34 provinces and 514 regencies (6).…”
