Each year India?s dengue epidemic gets worse, with almost 50 000 cases reported in 2012. Mohuya Chaudhuri gives some reasons

It has taken several outbreaks for the government of India to realise that dengue fever is a serious public health problem. Every year, without fail, this tropical infectious disease affects thousands of Indian lives.

In the past decade, according to the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), the number of cases has escalated steadily from 3306 in 2001 to 47 209 in 2012. Deaths have risen from 53 in 2001 to 242 in 2012. However, these figures were collected only from government hospitals and not the private sector. Scott Halstead, adjunct professor in the department of preventive medicine and biometrics at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, has stated that India has an estimated 37 million cases of dengue, with 227 500 hospitalisations.

Last year?s outbreak saw a sharp rise in cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome along with regular dengue fever. Hospitals in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Bengal, the states with most cases, found it hard to cope with the number of patients affected.1

Rural cases ignored in dengue statistics
By Shalet Jimmy - KOCHI 07th May 2013 12:22 PM
Statistics released by the health department regarding dengue cases in the state are far from accurate, purely because no proper mechanism exists to track the number.

Currently, the health department records only those cases confirmed in some of the major private hospitals, and this means several cases in rural areas are going unnoticed. According to sources, facilities are not available to transfer this data from rural centres to the health department.

There are 147 confirmed cases of dengue in Kerala, suggests information available with the Health Department. This is more than last year?s tally. Sources in the department said the number is likely to be even higher as eastern areas like Kothamangalam, Muvattupuzha and Kuttampuzha has more cases which are going unnoticed.
