Dengue, viral fever claims 2 more lives in TN


Madurai, Dec 3: Even as the Tamil Nadu Government had taken a series of steps to eradicate dengue and viral fever menace in the State, two children, including a girl, died of suspected viral fever in Southern Districts of Madurai and Ramanathapuram, today.

Official sources said S.Apsara (3), a girl who was undergoing treatment for fever in a private hospital in Madurai,died this morning. She was hailing from Karungalakudi Village in the dengue-affected Melur Block in Madurai District. With this, 18 people had died of dengue and viral fever in Melur Block alone in the district, so far. However, unofficial reports claimed over 50 people died of dengue and mysterious viral fever in Melur. Meanwhile, a three-year-old boy died of suspected viral fever at the government hospital in Rameswaram, this morning.

Manikandan was undergoing treatment for the past few days in the hospital. Even as the State Health Department claimed there was a decreasing trend in dengue and viral cases, the death of two children has once again raised doubts in the minds of people on whether the efforts to control dengue and viral fever in South Tamil Nadu have borne fruit.

[ProMED-mail has been alerted by Ronan Kelley of FluTrackers of an increase in reports of "viral fever" in Tamil Nadu state that are appearing in the local language press in India. Machine translations were provided. The stories to date appear very disjointed and deal primarily with individual case discussions and do not present a cohesive picture of what may be going on. Given the information we presently have on the increase in dengue activity in Tamil Nadu (see reports above), one wonders if these "viral fever" reports may relate to the increase in dengue activity. We await further clarification of the situation. - Mod.MPP]

Re: Tamil Nadu - Multiple local reports of &quot;mysterious fever&quot; - 58 deaths reported

According to official counts, there have been 60 deaths due to dengue in Tamil Nadu so far:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Kolkata-records-maximum-dengue-cases-among-metros/articleshow/17685084.cms

[snip]

Dengue cases have seen a massive spurt in India this year. India had recorded 15,535 cases and 96 deaths in 2009, but the corresponding figure till November, 2012, stood at over 35,000 cases and 216 fatalities. Tamil Nadu has recorded the highest number of deaths (60), followed by Maharashtra (59), Karnataka (21), Punjab (15), Kerala (13) and West Bengal (9).

[Ronan Kelly]

Re: Tamil Nadu - Multiple local reports of &quot;mysterious fever&quot; - 58 deaths reported

The official dengue death toll is to Nov 26th. Of those only 6 fatalities were recorded in November. So the fatalities reported in this thread seem to be largely additional to the official toll. Influenza is also a likely candidate with official H1N1 fatalities in the state jumping from 10 to 33 between the beginning of November and mid - December. Each reported flu fatality is indicative of scores of undiagnosed fatalities. Also, no official tally is kept of H3 or Influenza B deaths.
