From Monday (10 Dec [2007]) till Saturday (15 Dec [2007])
approximately 997 residents of the Jepara Regency, Central Java, were
attacked by chikungunya [virus]. The estimated number of patients was
still increasing, worrying the community.

The Health Service of the Jepara Regency determined that this
condition was an emergency. Nevertheless, the Section Head Health
Service of the Jepara Regency, Agus Salim, who was contacted on
Saturday afternoon [15 Dec 2007], asked the community to not panic
because chikungunya not was classified as a deadly illness.

Although the illness that resulted from virus [transmission] by
_Aedes albopictus_ could cause paralysis for 3-5 days, within 10 days
it would be resolved automatically. [Presumably, the "paralysis"
reported here is a reluctance of acutely infected patients to move
due to severe arthralgia, a common symptom of chikungunya virus
infection. - Mod.TY]

He added, not only is chikungunya present, currently in the spotlight
in Jepara, but also dengue fever is occurring there. Since January
[2007] until last Monday (10 Dec [2007]) there were more than 2000
dengue fever cases in Jepara.

With the emergency status due to chikungunya, as well as the number
of dengue fever sufferers, Jepara Regent Hendro Martojo instructed
the community, through the Forum for the Health of the Village, the
sub-district head, as well as the Community Health Centre, to further
increase eradication efforts of the mosquitoes breeding sites in
their respective environments.

[Apparently there are concurrent dengue and chikungunya epidemics
occurring in this part of Java. It is not clear if these 2 viral
infections are being differentiated by laboratory tests or only on
clinical grounds. ProMED-mail would appreciate receiving further
information about laboratory confirmation of the viruses responsible
for these outbreaks, including the dengue virus type (or types)
involved.

The article mentions only _Aedes albopictus_ as the mosquito vector
of chikungunya, with no mention of _Ae. aegypti_, which is very
likely present as well. Control of the 2 diseases would be the same
-- mosquito vector control through the elimination of breeding sites.
Both mosquito species can transmit chikungunya virus and the 4 dengue
virus types.

Re: Chikungunya in Indonesia

The doctors seem to discriminate chikungunya from dengue fever easily by clinical symptoms.

Note: midwifes are an official part of the health infrastructure of Indonesia, especially for children.

18 residents Sukoharjo Hit by Chikungunya

Sukoharjo - As many as 18 villagers Karangmojo, Kecamatan Weru, were attacked by the fever illness chikungunya. They who were affected by the illness that was caused by the chikungunya virus, remained in one village.

Officially Health of the Sukoharjo Regency at once involved the team to carry out the epidemiology research (PE) to this village, so that the illness that was spread by mosquitoes aedes aegepty and aedes albopictus that did not spread.

The DKK head the doctor Suryono, on Saturday (22/12) said, initially ET AL received the report on the number of illness sufferers of only eight people. However from the latest report struck 14,00, the (number of) patients increased to 18 people, he said.

His plan tomorrow on Sunday, we will carry out focus fumigation or fogging in this village, he said. The fumigation could not be postponed again, because of the spread chikungu him was very fast.

Was different from the case of dengue fever (dB) where the official must look for the other sufferer previously after finding one case, to determine the step in anticipation.

In the case chikungu him, if in one place was found had this illness sufferer, could be ascertained in and around the discovery of the first case was that infectuous.

Therefore his handling must the fast movement, so that not increasingly spread, he stressed.In accordance with the procedure, fogging the focus will be carried out twice in time extension 7-10 days.
After that, the official from ET AL will monitor the development pinched and did abatesasi.

In time three months in the future, the eradication of the mosquitoes nest in Karangmojo also will be intensified.

Chikungunya outbreak infects thousands

Archipelago - December 28, 2007


Oyos Saroso H.N., The Jakarta Post, Bandarlampung

Chikungunya disease has infected thousands of people in Bandarlampung over the last month.

In the worst-hit area, Waydadi subdistrict in Sukarame, the mosquito-borne disease has struck 500 or so residents in three neighborhood units.

"Ninety percent of the residents in our neighborhood have been infected by chikungunya. There are 94 families in our neighborhood, and in each family, two to three members have been infected by the disease. My wife and I also caught it," said RT 13 neighborhood unit chief in Waydadi, Amin Ismail, on Thursday.

The infection rate is similarly high in the RT 10 and RT 12 neighborhood units.

Amin said he had reported the rampant disease to the subdistrict and district chiefs four weeks ago, but had yet to receive a reply.

"Usually, when an outbreak affects many people, the provincial and municipal administrations immediately respond, for example by conducting fumigation around the neighborhood or providing free medication. But the administration has not responded as of yet," said Amin.

According to Amin, residents who fall ill generally go to the community health center because they cannot afford to go to a hospital or doctor.

Waydadi district chief Amil Riadi said he was unaware residents were infected with chikungunya. "There were no reports from the subdistrict office or community health centers," said Amil.

The disease spread to a number of districts in Bandarlampung starting in November, as rainy season approached. Aside from Sukarame district, the disease has also infected residents in North and South Telukbetung, Kemiling, Sukaraja, Panjang and Kedaton districts.

Bandarlampung Health Office deputy head Tri Henny Sukemi said her office was coordinating with the provincial health office to carry out a fumigation drive in a number of subdistricts deemed rife with the disease.

The coordinator of the Coalition for a Healthy Lampung (KULS), Herdimansyah, said provincial and city health officials had been sluggish in responding to the outbreak.

"The number of patients has climbed into the thousands, but there is not yet any concrete action. The disease in Lampung can be categorized as an extraordinary case now due to its vast spread and the huge number of those affected," he said.

Herdimansyah added that the disease had also infected residents in a number of regencies in Lampung, such as Tanggamus and South Lampung.

He said no fatalities had been reported so far in Lampung, but said the disease was very harmful due to its impact on people's productivity.

"Those affected by the disease obviously cannot go to work for at least a week. It might not matter if they were civil servants or private sector employees because they would still get paid, but what about the poor people who work as laborers? They cannot earn a living if they're sick," said Herdimansyah.

He added the number of sufferers in Lampung might be more than 1,000 because community health centers and doctors treating patients generally do not report cases to the health office.

"Many sufferers also do not seek treatment because they cannot afford to," he said.

Bandarlampung Health Office head Reihana said a number of subdistricts in the city were believed to be the breeding grounds of aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the carrier of the disease, due to an unclean environment and poor sanitary habits.

"These mosquitoes like these places to breed," he said.

The aedes aegypti mosquito also carries dengue fever.

Chikungunya, which originated on the African continent, was first detected in Indonesia in 1973. The first cases were reported in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. The disease then spread to Kuala Tungkal, Martapura, Ternate and Yogyakarta, and later reached other areas across the country.

snip from Jakarta Post, jan 21 2008

Separately, the United Nations warned that a severe achy-joint fever spreading in Asia via mosquitoes could easily reach more countries in the region and potentially take hold in Europe and the United States.

The fever, called chikungunya, is ravaging parts of Indonesia, sickening people with rashes, vomiting, headaches and joint pain so intense it is often too painful for victims to sit or stand.

"It's enormously disruptive ... the outbreaks are very abrupt and intense," Michael Nathan, a mosquito-borne-disease expert at the WHO in Geneva, told AP.

"Lots and lots of people are seeking help all at the same time and services struggle to cope with that." (rff)

Chikungunya spreading in Sukarame Bandar Lampung City


Bandarlampung (ANTARA News) - A Chikungunya outbreak in Sukarame I village, Sukarame sub district, Bandar Lampung city, is reported to be affecting more and more people after the disease was said to have also occurred in other sub districts.

According to some Sukarame village residents, many of their fellow villagers , including whole families, were suffering from the disease which is marked by high fever and pain in many parts of the body.

The infected villagers were being treated at their homes as well as the local community health center, and health authorities had conducted fogging operations in an effort to mitigate the pandemic.

However, the villagers were still hoping local health authorities would be more pro-active in their efforts to halt the spread of the disease in Bandar Lampung which forces sufferers to cease their normal activities for weeks.

Some of the infected villagers were also trying to seek cure through traditional medicines.

Meanwhile, people in Bandar Lampung are also worried about the incidence of dengue fever which, like Chikungunya, is also transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, and of Avian Influenza (AI) in their region. (*)
