Three Months, 2771 Patients, 12 Deaths

DENPASAR - The head of the region who returned to run for mayor watau regent but did not give a **** about penyakin outbreak of dengue fever (DB0, it is very unreasonable. Moreover, the DB in the Bali case is staggering. During the three-month period (January-March 2010 ) carrying 2771 people admitted to hospital because of infected aedes mosquitoes aegepty. That spread in nine districts in Bali during the first quarter of 2010. And 12 of them ended with death.

The fact above is the official data issued DB victims Public Health (Health) in Bali. Referring to the data, ironically City as the provincial capital of Denpasar, Bali, the highest ranked data of patient DB, reaching 1046 and six of whom died (see more graphic, Red)

Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer (Kadiskes) Bali dr.Nyoman Sutedja MPH when confirmed yesterday (13 / 4) admitted that the victim trends in 2010 DB-year increase. But these figures, he said, has not reached the maximum point. The highest rate''in 2009 and reached 4500. But still we try to control the maximum, "he concluded

It said, in addition to the formation of an interpreter monitors larva (jumanti) and do fogging, it also has launched the movement to eradicate mosquito breeding (PSN). It is expected that with the movement of all elements of society have their own consciousness in the nests of mosquito eradication.

Bali ranks second in dengue cases nationwide

Luh De Suriyani , The Jakarta Post , Denpasar | Fri, 04/16/2010 12:37 PM | Bali

The Health Ministry called on the Bali administration to intensify dengue prevention programs as cases of the disease have increased significantly, infecting 170 out of every 100,000 people in the province.

The Health Ministry's Dr. Cecilia Widyaningsih said the high number earned Bali the dubious honor of being the second-worst hit region, losing out only to Jakarta.

"Bali must focus on a campaign of behavioral changes through an effective communication strategy," Widyaningsih said at a coordination meeting with Bali Health Agency officials on Wednesday.

Bali Health Agency head Dr. I Nyoman Sutedja admitted that almost all villages in Bali had been categorized as endemic areas in the last three years. As of April this year, 1,227 people have contracted dengue fever and 12 have died of the disease.

The number of dengue patients is expected to peak in May. In 2008 and 2009, Bali saw 6,000 dengue cases.

The ministry said it planned to provide the administration with rapid diagnostic equipment to accurately detect the dangerous dengue virus. The ministry also provided 3 tons of insecticide. "We are going to fumigate large areas across Bali," Sutedja said.

Some traditional villages (banjar) have implemented effective dengue prevention programs including larva and mosquito control and improving rural sanitation.

A.A. Eka Putra, the head of Guwang village in Sukawati, Gianyar regency, shared his experience at the meeting. Guwang village is a relative success story in the prevention and elimination of dengue cases.

"We called on all residents to build a small pond and breed fish. The fish eat the mosquito larva," Putra said.

He added that each family had to keep clean their houses and surrounding areas, potted plants were to be kept free of stagnant water, and that the village also improved sanitation in the village in an effort to stop the larva life cycle.

Putra said that mothers were also asked to clean water containers, including those used for daily prayers. "Most of us use ceramic or glass jars to store holy water for daily prayers. The water containers are open, making them the perfect place for mosquito larva," he said.

Putra added that the village involved the entire community in the prevention program. "We have only five larva and mosquito control specialists serving 1,235 families. It was impossible to ask them to perform their work well, so all the villagers became responsible for making the village clean and healthy."

The ministry's said that every year, there were 160,000 reported cases of dengue fever in Indonesia, 15 to 20 percent of the annual 925,000 cases worldwide.

Since 2004, dengue fever has affected 382 regencies and municipalities in Indonesia. In 2008, 1,393 people died of dengue fever nationwide.

"We are working hard to decrease the number of dengue cases to 51 per 100,000 people by 2014," Widyaningsih said.

Again, DB robbed Victim
Denpasar (Bali Post) -

Dengue fever (DB) back grabbed the victim's life. This time his victim Tjokroaminoto citizens, Komang Reza Aditya (7) that go Sanglah Hospital, Tuesday (1 / 6) and then died Wednesday (2 / 6) yesterday because the DSS (Denque Shock Syndrome) or bleeding has occurred inside. His body was immediately taken home by his family.

Denpasar City Health Office Head dr. Luh Putu Sri Armini, M. Kes. some time ago said that DB will continue to exist if the public awareness of environmental hygiene is poor. ''In Denpasar jumantik was already there. Despite the case DB can be lowered, but still has not reached expectations. The success of the DB case as they are located on public awareness will keep the environment clean,''Armini said. Especially with the number of houses in Denpasar and the high mobility of the population strongly supports the transmission of the DB.

While in terms of cases, according to Kasi Yanmed Sanglah Hospital Outpatient, dr. Ken Wirasandhi, MARS, the case of DB in 2010 experienced a shift cycle. Based on data from Sanglah Hospital, in 2008 and 2009, the peak DB cases usually occur in May. However in most cases in 2010 was actually happening in the month of March.

Data show in March 2008 recorded 346 cases in 2009 reached 265 cases and in 2010 reached 823 cases. While''for the month of May, although his case in 2010 declined when compared with the month of March, the figure is still on top in May in the year 2008 and 2009. In May 2008 recorded 521 cases in May 2009 while carrying 347 cases and in May 2010 there are 625 cases,''said Ken.

The increase in this case according to Ken, not only because the weather is supporting the development of the DB vector, can also be triggered more waspadanya community to consult early. ''When compared with fewer cases of death can be said now people have started to be aware of the DB. So the new early symptoms already went to the hospital or doctor. This leads to disease management has been treated in its early stages,''explained Ken.

Most cases of death that occurred at Sanglah Hospital said the delay is caused because the patient was taken to hospital Sanglah so already bleeding. On the other hand the thought of being treated in hospital cost is not too burdensome because the treatment is borne by JKBM DB.

It is said that if the rainy season is still ongoing as of now, the case DB forecast to remain there and may even increase. Year 2010 can be said the case had exceeded the previous five years. ''If the weather is still like this, it is not possible the case could be increased,''added Ken. (Kmb24)

Katherine Fenech

December 17, 2010

A worrying spike in the number of Bali holiday-makers returning to WA with the potentially-fatal disease dengue fever has sparked a Health Department warning to travellers.

The Health Department's communicable disease control director Paul Armstrong said there had been over 430 reports of dengue fever in West Australians this year, three times as many as there were at the same time last year.

"Most of these cases are associated with travel to Bali," Dr Armstrong said.

"Travellers to developing countries need to be very careful with the food they eat and the water they drink."

The potentially deadly disease is carried by mosquitoes that tend to congregate in tropical areas and commonly bite during the day.
