Abstract: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a viral disease that can cause death within a very short time (a few days). The main vector of DHF is Aedes aegypti mosquito, whereas the potential vector is Aedes albopictus. In the context of prevention of DHF, environmental data associated with bionomics mosquito vector of DHF, the Maya Index, are needed. DHF is still a public health problem. And for the case that there is in the city of Manado in 2013, in this case in the district of Singkil, acquired as many as 43 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever. This study aimed to describe the Maya Index at the houses of dengue hemorrhagic fever patients in the village of West Kombos, Singkil districts. Maya Index is based on hygiene risk index (HRI) and breeding risk index (BRI). This was a descriptive study. Samples were houses of patients with DHF in 2015 from January to December. The results showed that there were four patients during the year 2015. Observation of the four houses and calculation of the data indicated that two houses were in low category of Maya Index, one house in medium category of Maya Index, and one house in high category of Maya Index. Keywords: dengue hemorrhagic fever, Maya index Abstrak: Demam berdarah dengue (DBD) adalah penyakit virus yang berbahaya karena dapat menyebabkan kematian dalam waktu yang sangat singkat (beberapa hari).

ABSTRACT Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in humans. The spread of both mosquito vectors and viruses has led to the resurgence of epidemic dengue fever (a self-limited flu-like syndrome) and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (severe dengue with bleeding abnormalities) in urban centers of the tropics. There are no animal or laboratory models of dengue disease; indirect evidence suggests that dengue viruses differ in virulence, including their pathogenicities for humans and epidemic potential. We developed two assay systems (using human dendritic cells and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes) for measuring differences in virus replication that correlate with the potential to cause hemorrhagic dengue and increased virus transmission. Infection and growth experiments showed that dengue serotype 2 viruses causing dengue hemorrhagic fever epidemics (Southeast Asian genotype) can outcompete viruses that cause dengue fever only (American genotype). This fact implies that Southeast Asian genotype viruses will continue to displace other viruses, causing more hemorrhagic dengue epidemics.

Dengue virus is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Co-circulation of the four types of dengue viruses and expansion of dengue epidemic give rise to infection enhancement and a big expansion of clinical aspects of the disease. Besides dengue, typhoid fever is an ancient disease, have emerged as major public health problem in developing countries including Bangladesh. Here we report a case of 4 years old boy, who have developed Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever within 2 weeks of contemporaneous infection of Typhoid fever and Primary dengue fever.

Introduction: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease transmitted from person to person by Aedes mosquitoes which result in a wide spectrum of disease severity ranging from influenza-like illness (dengue fever; DF) to the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Terai regions of Nepal were focal epidemics of Dengue infections during the outbreak in 2010, 2013, and 2016. Dengue infections have been reported in the valleys of upland Hill regions at an altitude of 2500 m above sea level in Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among febrile patients in Nepal Police Hospital (NPH), from 1st Baisakh 2076 to 30th Chaitra 2076. Blood samples were collected from dengue presumed cases and tested against dengue specific IgM antibody and/or NS1antigen. Clinical examination findings were recorded, hematological and biochemical parameters tests were done among the patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results: A total of 87 dengue cases were included in the study during the study period. Out of these, the majority were males ( 85.05%) from Kathmandu (38/87; 43.67%) seen in the month of Asoj (40/87; 45.98%). Fever was the major symptom (100%) followed by myalgia (52.87%), headache (45.97%), retro-orbital pain (12.64%), bleeding manifestations (9.19%). Common hematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia and leucopenia in the critical phase. There was no case of dengue shock syndrome. Conclusion: This study highlights the utilization of most common clinical and easily available laboratory profiles of dengue viral infections in particular season and place that could alert physicians to diagnose early to reduce morbidity and mortality due to dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome.


A. aegypti is known as the main vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or better known as the acronym of DHF is an infectious disease caused by Dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Sidoarjo as part of East Java Province is also an endemic area of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever because in every year there is many cases of DHF. Containers are stuffs s used to accommodate water for household use, where this container can be used as a place for mosquitoes to breed. So, it can appear mosquito larva which then develops into adult mosquitoes which is a vector of DBD disease. Judging from the location of the container can be divided into indoor containers are containers that are contained in the part of the house that is covered by a roof and outdoor containers are containers that are located in the part of the house that is not covered by the roof. This research is conducted to find out if there is a relationship between distribution and frequency of Indoor and Outdoor Containers with the numbers of DBD in the endemic areas of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever in Tambak Cemandi Village, Sedati t, Sidoarjo. This method of research is analytical observation with cross-sectional design. The samples in this study are indoor containers, outdoor containers ,all residence and all the larvae of Aedes aegypti which are located in those taken from 100 house of respondents located in the village of Tambak Cemandi, Sedati District, Sidoarjo Regency.The result were found 183 containers obtained from 100 houses of respondents, consisting of 156 indoor containers and 25 outdoor containers. From 156 indoor containers were found 1611 Aedes aegypti larvae and from 25 outdoor containers were found 168 Aedes aegypti larvae. From 100 residence, who have got DBD as much as 16 people and who never got DBD as much as 84 people. Using Contingency Coefficient test obtained result P = 0432 (P < α = 0.05), meaning that there is no relationship between a relationship between distribution and frequency of Indoor and Outdoor Containers with the numbers of DBD in the endemic areas of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever in Tambak Cemandi Village, Sedati, Sidoarjo.

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
