Japanese Encephalitis cases up in State
Ajit Patowary

GUWAHATI, Sept 9 ? In the present decade, an increasing trend of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is observed in Assam. It has been reporting the second highest number of JE cases in the country for the past five years, including the current year. The State is reporting JE cases for the past about 34 years since 1976.

On top of all these, the State has been reporting a large number of cases of acute encephalopathy syndrome (AES) in the recent times. The AES is the stage of the disease, which resembles the symptoms of JE, but remains to be confirmed.

This is stated by sources in the Dibrugarh-based Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC), of the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR). The jurisdiction of the RMRC is spread all over the North East region.

Available literature showed that in the last decade, there has been a major upsurge of AES in 135 epidemic districts in the states of Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Manipur, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, UP, Pondicherry and West Bengal where an estimated 378 million population are facing the risk of JE.

Among these states, Uttar Pradesh and Assam have been reporting maximum JE cases. Mortality due to JE has been estimated to range between 20 per cent and 30 per cent. Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh is heading the list of JE- affected areas in the country, said the sources...
