Disease Spectrum

Lymphatic filariasis is a mosquito born disease infecting over 120 million people globally. This is a community based cross-sectional study done to assess the prevalence of disease in Dumka District of Jharkhand. Three years data (2018-2020) were used to know the disease spectrum in this region. The disease mostly presented itself in its chronic forms. Prevalence of the disease has decreased in three years duration. Lymphedema cases were predominant as it was seen in both male and female. The study showed Lymphedema cases as 52% in 2018, 88% in 2019 and 98% in 2020. Overall disease is significantly higher in males than in female. But, Elephantiasis is more frequent in females. Present study reveals that there is remarkable impact of ELF program showing significant reduction in number of cases in three years duration. But the study indicates that the disease still continues to be the major cause of disability and poverty.
