Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a health problem in Indonesia where the number of cases reported in 2015 was 129,650 cases with a total death toll of 1,071 people. The city of Blitar is the region with the 13th highest dengue fever case in East Java Province. Purpose: This study aims to describe cases of dengue fever in the city of Blitar. Methods: This study is an observational descriptive study with a case series approach. The data used in this study is dengue fever data in the East Java Health Profile for 2015-2017. Results: The majority of dengue fever occurred in the age group 5-14 years (46.72%). Most cases of dengue fever occur in men (51.19%). The city of Blitar is an area with cases of dengue fever which is high each year with the Incidence Rate (IR) in 2016 reaching 189 per 100,000 population. The increase in cases of dengue fever is not in line with the increase in rainfall in the city of Blitar. Jumantik has 166 people spread across 21 regions, but the free larvae (ABJ) from Blitar is still 79%, far from the success indicator of 95%. Conclusion: Blitar City is an endemic area of DHF that has stratification of 20 hamlets. The pattern of dengue fever in Blitar City in 2015-2017 was the highest in men and in the age group of 5-14 years.

Background: The number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases in Indonesia from January to February 2016 was 8,487 with 108 deaths. DHF is an infectious disease that continues to increase from 2014 until 2016 in Manado city. DHF cases in Talaud Islands Regency from 2014 to 2016 were 143 cases. Regional spatial analysis would simplify the distribution of DHF cases in high-risk areas. To be aware of the DHF outbreak cycle, it is necessary to model spatial risk factors based on geographic information systems (GIS) to tackle and eradicate DHF cases by region.Methods: This study aimed to analyze the spread of DHF in Talaud regency based on age, sex, population density and area height. The design of this research is qualitative analytic by using an ecological study approach. The research scope was 19 districts in Talaud regency. Secondary data are used which consists of case number, age, sex, population density, and area height taken from the Talaud district health office with 66 DHF cases in 2018-2019 and analyzed using the GIS approach through spatial analysis.Results: Based on the number of DHF cases that is most in the age group of 5-11 years. Male gender is more likely to suffer from DHF than female. Spatial description of the condition of the altitude in the Talaud Islands regency at risk of suffering from DHF is>50 meters above sea level. Spatial description of population density with most DHF cases is not densely populated area with less than 1,620 inhabitants per km.Conclusions: The health office of Talaud islands regency needs to actively promote health by providing information about eradicating mosquitoes.

Background: Dengue is an arthropod borne viral hemorrhagic fever. It is a major public health concern throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Objectives: To study clinical profile and laboratory findings of dengue infection in children. Materials and Methods: Children up to the age of 15 years who were confirmed serologically dengue positive (either positive NS1 antigen or positive IgM antibody by ELISA method were included in study. Total 100 patients were studied. Pre tested, semi structured questionnaire were developed and used for data collection. Result and Discussion: In current study, maximum patients were found in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) group (68%), followed by Dengue Fever (25%). Fever was most common clinical manifestation. Maximum patients in this study were in 10 to 15 years of age group, male being more commonly affected. Thrombocytopenia and leukopenia were present in 90% and 69% of patients respectively. Conclusion: School going children were more exposed to mosquito bites during day time school activities, thus maximum patients were from 10 to 15 years of age group. In early diagnosis of dengue fever, ELISA NS1 antigen is seen more promisable. When used in combination with ELISA IgM antibody, it significantly improves the diagnostic algorithm. Thrombocytopenia is more consistent feature of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Key words: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS), ELISA NS1 antigen, ELISA IgM antibody.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease and it’s still a health problem in Ternate City. DHF is reported to occur every year and spread throughout the Districts in the Ternate Island region. Studies with epidemiological approaches according to people, places, and times that describe the incidence of DHF within a period of 10 years need to be known as an evaluation in the control program. The variables examined in this study were gender, age, number of deaths, the incidence of DHF in the subdistrict, and endemicity status. The results showed that male families suffered more DHF than female with 507 male sufferers while 411 female sufferers. The majority of DHF in the age group of 5-14 years with 507 people. The number of deaths resulting from dengue fever cases in 10 years was 31 people. The highest DHF incidence rate was in South Ternate sub-district with 379 cases and the lowest was in Ternate Island sub-district with 15 cases. Endemicity status in 2019 is endemic nine villages, sporadic 45 and seven potential villages. The conclusion of this study is the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever is more in men, with the age group of 5-14 years. DHF occurs throughout the year in all districts within the Ternate City area.

ABSTRAK  Latar belakang: Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) disebabkan oleh virus Dengue dapat menyebabkan kematian. Pencegahan DBD yang dianggap paling tepat adalah Pemberantasan Sarang Nyamuk (PSN). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah pada siswa sekolah dasar terhadap Maya Index di Majalengka. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi experiment (pretest-posttest control group design). Sebanyak 4 sekolah terpilih sebagai kelompok intervensi dan 4 sekolah lainnya sebagai kontrol. Subyek penelitian adalah siswa kelas IV-VI yang terdiri dari 171 siswa pada kelompok intervensi dan 163 pada kelompok kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah formulir pemantauan jentik berkala. Hasil: Jumlah rumah dengan kategori Maya Index tinggi berkurang dari 27,5% menjadi 9,4%. Terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi pada kelompok intervensi dari 20,5% menjadi 1,8%. Pada kelompok kontrol tidak terjadi penurunan angka BRI kategori tinggi (22,1%), sebaliknya terjadi penurunan kategori rendah dari 34,4% menjadi 3,7%. Tidak terjadi penurunan angka HRI pada kelompok intervensi maupun kontrol. Kesimpulan: Pelatihan pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah dapat menurunkan nilai BRI dan Maya Index, tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap nilai HRI. Tidak adanya perubahan nilai HRI menunjukkan bahwa kebersihan dan sanitasi lingkungan merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap probabilitas kejadian demam berdarah. Kata Kunci : Demam Berdarah, Maya Index, pelatihan, pengendalian vektor   ABSTRACT Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) caused by Dengue virus could cause death. The most appropriate prevention of Dengue is eradication of mosquito nests (PSN). This study aims to determine the effect of Dengue vector control training on elementary students towards Maya Index in Majalengka. Method: This study used quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest control group design). A total of 4 schools were selected as intervention groups and 4 other schools as controls. The subjects were students in grades IV-VI consisting of 171 students in the intervention group and 163 in the control group. The instrument used was periodic larva monitoring form. Results: The number of houses with a high Maya Index category in the intervention group decreased from 27.5% to 9.4%. There was a decrease in the high BRI category in the intervention group from 20.5% to 1.8%. In the control group, there was no decrease in the high BRI category (22.1%), on the contrary, there was a decrease in the low category from 34.4% to 3.7%. There was no decrease in HRI rates both of intervention or control groups. Conclusion: Dengue Fever vector control training could decrease the value of BRI and Maya Index, but does not affect the value of HRI. The absence of changes in HRI  indicate that environmental hygiene and sanitation are factors that influence the probability of dengue fever occurrence. Keywords: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Maya Index, training, vector control
