Assam: Unidentified fever kills two

Assam: Unidentified fever kills two

Sounds like some sort of encephalitis. It is unusual to speak of "most of the affected population" when only three cases are reported, but perhaps they mean most of the population of the area where the cases occurred. The mention of three locations seems to indicate that the cases are likely not contacts of each other.

Japanese encephalitis claims 1 in Nalbari
Correspondent
NALBARI, Aug 3 ? Japanese encephalitis which broke out for the first time in Nalbari district has so far claimed one life at Barkuriha village under Barbhag Revenue circle. The deceased was identified as Rajmohan Raimedhi, aged about 74. Raimedhi was admitted to Gauhati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) with high fever where he was diagnosed with Japanese encephalitis. One more patient from the village is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
The surfacing of his fatal disease has created panic among the people of these areas. The people have alleged that the District Health Department has taken no serious steps to combat it. The district Malaria department sprayed DDT only among four families. The district Malaria officer opined that as the area is not included in the action plan for spraying DDT, they have no right to spray DDT without the permission of the higher authority. On the other hand the district health department though sent a bugging vehicle to the affected village it miserably failed to discharge smoke due to some mechanical defect. Even, the deputy commissioner of Nalbari who is the president of district health society or the joint director of health services is yet to visit the affected village which is situated only eight kilometres away from Nalbari town.

The panic stricken villagers on Sunday organised an awareness meeting at Barkuriha LP school inviting health and malaria officials. The awareness meeting presided over by Dr Biren Deka was addressed among others by Dr. Kamal Dev Goswami, health officer of Kamarkuchi PHC, Dr Gokul Patowary, IDS, Nalbari, Dipak Tamuli, district malaria officer, Rajib Sarma, media expert NRHM and Ashok Kalita, panchayat president.

The panicky villagers demanded the health department to immediately administer Japanese encephalitis vaccine in the village. They also demanded the district administration to shift the piggery farm, the source of this virus to a areas place away from inhabited.

Malaria and Encephalitis in Assam
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14:12 IST

For prevention, treatment and control of vector-borne diseases including Malaria and Japanese Encephalitis, Government of India is implementing an integrated National Vector Borne Disease Control Programame (NVBDCP) under the overarching umbrella of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). The main strategy for prevention and control of vector-borne diseases advocates for integrated vector control, early case detection & complete treatment, and behavior change communication. Government of India provides technical support and also supplements the States by providing funds and commodities as per their annual requirements approved under NRHM. However, the programme is primarily being implemented through the State Government.

For effective control of Malaria, North-Eastern States including Assam have been given additional inputs under the Global Fund supported Intensified Malaria Control Project (IMCP) in the form of human resources and commodities like Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs), Artesunate Combination Therapy (ACT), Arteether injections, Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs)/ Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and Synthetic Pyrethroid liquid. The project also provides financial support for training, monitoring, mobility and IEC/BCC.

The above-mentioned strategies have reduced the deaths in Assam from 304 in 2006 to 63 in 2009. Annual Parasite Incidence (API) has also reduced from 4.3 cases per 1000 population in 2006 to 2.92 in 2009 and surveillance has been increased from 7.07% in 2005 to 9.66% in 2009.

Regarding Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES)/ Japanese Encephalitis (JE), as there is no specific treatment available, the strategy mainly consists of early diagnosis and case management. In addition, as a preventive measure, vaccination of children has been started from the year 2006. The strategy is to conduct one time JE vaccination in campaign mode targeting all children between 1 to 15 years of age followed by introducing the JE vaccine in the routine immunization at 16-24 months of age. During 2006-07 to 2009-10, JE vaccination has been undertaken in 9 districts of the State (viz. Dibrugarh, Sivsagar, Golaghat, Jorhat, Dhemaji, Tinsukia, Kamrup, Lakimpur and Sonitpur). JE vaccination in two more districts of the State namely, Nagaon and Udalgiri, is planned in 2010-11.

(b) to (d) Malaria transmission depends on various factors including socio-ecological conditions and treatment-seeking behaviour of people alongwith the prevalence of vector mosquitoes and their behaviour. In Assam, these factors are conducive for perennial transmission of Malaria, hence the strategy being adopted is to prevent and control Malaria instead of eradication.

Japanese Encephalitis is an outbreak prone viral disease. Because of its complex eco-epidemiological situation which involves adreid birds and pigs as carriers of the virus and man being the accidental host, it may not be technically feasible to eradicate the disease. But effective steps are taken to prevent and control mortality and morbidity due to JE.

This information was given by Minister for Health and Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in written reply to a question raised in Rajya Sabha today.
