India Encephalitis 2015, 1,324 fatalities

Comparison to similar period in previous years:
Year // AES Cases/ Deaths/ JE Cases/ Deaths
2014// 1,642 / 279 / 22 / 4 to July 3rd
2013// 1,221/ 261 / 85 / 24 to July 3rd
2012// 875/ 121 / NA / NA to May 31st (no official report was released for June, but FluTrackers had documented 452 deaths to June 30th)
2011// 1,222/ 146 / NA / NA to July 18th


Comment: Media reported cases and fatalities in Bihar are now 80 and 21 respectively raising the overall toll to 149 deaths. The major outbreaks that occurred in June of 2012-2014 in Muzaffarpur have not been repeated this year. Perhaps related, there was a poor litchi crop this year. Worth noting that West Bengal's figures are unchanged from the last report. We have also documented several AES cases in Rajasthan in this thread that, for whatever reason, do not appear on the official tally. Edit - We have also documented 19 cases & 2 fatalities this year from Maharashtra which are not included in the NVBDCP tally, total 151 deaths ytd.- Ro

Comment: I think what happens with reporting in WB is that local reports get picked up by non-local media and headlines get altered;
"7 encephalitis deaths in Cooch Behar" becomes "7 encephalitis deaths in West Bengal"
"21 encephalitis deaths in Siliguri" becomes "21 encephalitis deaths in West Bengal"
and it becomes a game of whisper down the lane as the less accurate headline propagates through the print media. As the article below indicates, there has been at least 30 deaths (7 confirmed Japanese Encephalitis) in North Bengal Medical College & Hospital alone. NBMCH is located in Siliguri, a city shared by Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts in WB. Fatalities have also been reported in the media from MJN Hospital in the adjacent district of Cooch Behar. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme reported 417 cases of AES with 60 deaths to May 31st. Many of the recent deaths reported are undated, but there is little doubt that the death toll in West Bengal is at least 63 people, probably higher. Additionally, I've see multiple media reports that "over a hundred" died from encephalitis in WB last year. The NVBDCP reported 348 deaths of which 78 were confirmed JE. - Ro
