72 cases of dengue fever in Nuevo Leon

After keeping under control the incidence of influenza A (H1N1), dengue is now a priority in the health sector of Nuevo Le?n, even if all the cases so far are of conventional type.




Dom, 25/04/2010 - 14:08 Sun, 25/04/2010 - 14:08

In an interview, the owner of the SSNL, Jesus Villareal Perez Zacarias, said the recent rains have raised these indexes, thus strengthened action to prevent the spread of mosquito 'Aedes aegypti', the transmitter of the disease.

'The 72 cases a larger number than we had in 2009 on the same date, and concern arises from the heavy rains we had in April with much benefit, but that on the issue puts us in dengue greater risk, "he said.

Dengue major health threat as state admits to 48 deaths in 2009
Written by GR Staff
Friday, April 30 2010 14:54

Not for the first time in the past 12 months, Jalisco health officials are in damage limitation mode after test results from a federal laboratory revealed that 48 people died last year from hemorrhagic dengue, instead of just one officially reported victim.

While Jalisco Health Secretary Alfonso Petersen stopped short of saying the deaths could have been prevented, he admitted that ?a lack of knowledge? among health professionals may have contributed to the high number of fatalities.

Jalisco subsequently jumped to the top of Mexico?s dengue fatality table, way ahead of Morelos with 16 deaths and Guerrero with 11. Remarkably, Jalisco now registers 50 percent of all dengue deaths in 2009 but more results are expected from other states.

Petersen, who took over as the state?s health supremo after the sacking of Alfonso Gutierrez in September last year, said the diagnosis of patients was complicated since many had other health complaints, such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.

Between 1989 and 2009, the Jalisco Health Department refused to acknowledge any deaths from dengue, despite the protestations of some who claimed the government was trying to avoid bad publicity and protect the tourism sector. Petersen now admits there were fatalities during this period, perhaps as many as ten per year. The first official acknowledgement of a death from dengue in the past decade came in September last year, at the height of the epidemic. Vanesa Robles, a 23-year-old woman from Guadalajara, was given four different diagnoses ? typhoid, brucellosis, salmonella and gastroenteritis ? before she died. The doctor attending her received the results of the dengue analysis only after she had died.

Thirty-nine of the 48 deaths reported this week were in the Guadalajara metropolitan area ? two each in Puerto Vallarta, Tala and Ameca, and one each in El Salto and Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos. More than two-thirds of those who died were women. Sixty-five percent passed away in facilities of the Instituto Mexicana de Seguro Social (IMSS), 15 percent in private hospitals and the rest in public health institutions, including Guadalajara?s Hospitales Civiles.

The official (laboratory tested) total of dengue cases in 2009 was 4,919 (4,102 classic and 817 hemorrhagic), although Petersen said that as many as 50,000 people could have been infected by the mosquito-borne virus.

DEATHS FROM DENGUE IN JALISCO

1985 ....................... 1
1986 ....................... 5
1987 ....................... 1
1988 ....................... 1
1989 ....................... 2
1990-2008 .............. 0
2009 ....................... 48

Experts have been contacted to provide immediate training to doctors in Jalisco on the diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhagic dengue. The first training session for 300 medics took place in Guadalajara on Thursday.

According to the World Health Organization, medical care by physicians and nurses experienced with the effects and progression of hemorrhagic dengue fever can frequently save lives ? decreasing mortality rates from more than 20 percent to less than one percent. Maintenance of the patient?s circulating fluid volume is the central feature of this care.

Petersen told citizens not to be worried that more cases of dengue have been registered so far this year compared to 2009 ? 367. He credited the increase to more efficient detection and diagnosis.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a potentially deadly complication that is characterized by high fever, often with enlargement of the liver, and in severe cases circulatory failure. The illness often begins with a sudden rise in temperature accompanied by facial flush and other flu-like symptoms. The fever usually continues for two to seven days and can be as high as 41?C, possibly with convulsions and other complications.

In moderate cases, all signs and symptoms abate after the fever subsides. In severe cases, the patient?s condition may suddenly deteriorate after a few days of fever; the temperature drops, followed by signs of circulatory failure, and the patient may rapidly go into a critical state of shock and die within 12 to 24 hours, or quickly recover following appropriate treatment.

The official recalled that the rains that occurred during the second half of April generated conditions for the mosquito to reproduce, both by standing water, and the increase of the weed.

"We are concerned, as I externship, the increase in rainfall, even rain is forecast for this weekend, then you should alert the public, is an opportune moment to clean patios and rooftops; remove deposits that may collect water of rain and where to create the mosquito larva, to remind that even in a water bottle caps that captures, you can generate, "he said.

He insisted that the first action to reduce the risk of transmission of the disease is to destroy the habitat for the insect.

"This mosquito eggs that may be produced in a state of drying up to a year awaiting the first rains and is within a water tank that captures the larvae thrive there," he said.

He warned that if there is an oversight by the health authorities could increase dengue cases, particularly cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever occur, however Villarreal Perez clarified that this is required in much the cooperation of the citizens, at least for cleaning in homes.

"For our part we will continue spraying, abatizando, we are doing mop-up campaigns in all municipalities, not just in the metropolitan area, I think we are moving in good shape, need a lot of the collaboration of the population, do your cleaning home and allow access properly identified personnel to carry out the tasks of abatizaci?n and cleaning inside the home.

Last year 531 cases were recorded, but in 2009 was marked by concern that the H1N1 influenza pandemic, but now the Ministry of Health in the state insists that the disease is the number one concern.

"Dengue fever right now is the most important issue for us," said the state official.

For several weeks began vector control in several municipalities, in addition to spray areas where requested.

Protection
Jesus Zacarias Villarreal Perez, secretary of Health, said the mosquito born and raised supported by the rains.

It grows in Jalisco DHF
A year ago there was a proportion of a case of viral infection in eleven of the classical variety in the state, while in 2010 was reduced to one for every six.

Tue, 20/07/2010 - 5:36

The DHF grows in Jalisco. This year with a much higher proportion of this form of viral infection transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The program coordinator of the Chief of Epidemiology, State Health Secretariat (SJS), Maria de los Angeles Valdez Moon, released in 2009, while reported eleven cases of classic dengue hemorrhagic type one, this year parameter is six classical cases of a hemorrhagic fever.

This is attributed to dengue fever is occurring in people who already suffered from this disease before (now in a second infection), a risk which itself had alerted SSJ because of the high number of infections in 2009, which went to Jalisco the worst year ever recorded in dengue patients confirmed with 4.919 and over 81 000 probable (those who by clinical symptoms and living in community where dengue is presumed to have the disease but there was no evidence to confirm ), many now susceptible to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which is the same disease but worse.
Luna Valdez also topped the report of new cases. In epidemiological week 27, which was 4 to 10 July, the agency reported 17 new infections of dengue, three from the hemorrhagic type. By municipality, the infections were registered in: Tlaquepaque (six), Zapopan (three), Tonala (two), Union de Tula (two), Tamazula, Talpa de Allende, Casimiro Castillo and Ixtlahuac?n River (one each).

With these new cases, Jalisco comes to a total of 640 patients in the year, of which 549 are of the classic and 91 hemorrhagic type, and one confirmed death. In four other deaths classified as "suspicious", the State Committee for Epidemiological Surveillance and ruled that the dengue virus have triggered the death of these people.
What is a fact that dengue hemorrhagic fever is fired: according to data from the National Center of Epidemiological Surveillance and Disease Control (Cenavece) epidemiological week 26 this year (28 June to 3 July, more than recent publication) had 85 cases of confirmed dengue hemorrhagic fever in Jalisco, while during the same period last year were 17 cases. This is an increase of 400 percent

Moreover, the official said that dengue is already widespread in 44 of the 125 municipalities of Jalisco, where last month cases were reported in 38 municipalities. In the latest report were added and Ixtlahuac?n Union de Tula River.

To date, Puerto Vallarta is still the city most affected with 196 cases, followed by 110 and Zapopan Cihuatl?n 52. Although, in recent weeks the prevailing tendency to a greater number of new cases are of the Guadalajara metropolitan area and the coastal region as usual.

For example, in week 27, eleven of the 17 reported cases were concentrated in the ZMG (64.7 percent of the total) and in the previous 16 of 27 (59.2 percent), while in the 25th week of eleven reported, were recorded in six metropolitan municipalities (54.5 percent).

In this regard, both Luna Valdez, as the owner of Preventive Medicine of the SSJ, Celedonio Cardenas and the head of Vectors and Zoonosis, Leandro Hernandez, who attended the press conference, expressed concern over the outbreak was reported from Last week, Colonia Lomas de Tlaquepaque, where six have been confirmed and there are five probable cases more study. However, yesterday it was claimed that the first two cases were imported from Iz?car de Matamoros, Puebla. While no epidemiological association in six-are members of one family.

Lomas de Tlaquepaque addition, during the 26th week, five colonies tlaquepaquenses reported a spread of dengue and at week 27 were added The Gigantera and La Guadalupana, which are adjacent to the first.


The worst is yet to come

Many experts in the field of dengue worst is yet to come in Jalisco, since the outbreak of the disease last year was concentrated in the coastal area of the state until June, and increased involvement in the Guadalajara metropolitan area lived between August and October 2009. This year is the presence of viral infection in the metropolitan boroughs, home to most of the state's population, since January.
In the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara and began to record an increase in patients with acute suspected dengue in the first half of July, while the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has not yet reported an increase but it says "ready" for meet any contingency.

The owner of the Head of Medical Benefits of IMSS Jalisco, Manuel Cervantes Ocampo, has said that a "strategic plan" similar to the one installed on the occasion of the influenza A-H1N1, bounded by the traffic light colors to alert the risk, and said that now is not reached even to yellow, to date the impact has been less rainfall.

However, Cervantes Ocampo said the IMSS purchased flags to isolate patients who turn out to be hospitalized for dengue and assured that he has flags to cover 10 percent of Social Security Hospital beds.

Rene Ramon, correspondent, and Notimex

La Jornada
Friday July 23, 2010, p. 35
Since 2009 Guerrero is on alert for dengue and yellow in 2010 the incidence has increased 40 percent due to poor application of larvicides, said Basilio Carlos Acosta, director of Disease Control of the State Health Department.

The dependence has been reported this year at least 2491 cases, 665 hemorrhagic type, and seven deaths, mostly in Acapulco.

At first, the official said, was sprayed with permethrin, but did not give the expected results and chlorpyrifos was changed because the transmitter and mosquito reproduction is not seasonal, but has begun to be permanent. In addition, dengue affects 28 states in Mexico, where previously only expressed in warm areas, indicating that the mosquito has adapted to different climatic conditions.
In Puebla have been reported this year 197 cases of classic dengue, mostly in the municipalities of Acatlan Iz?car Matamoros Tehuac?n and Zacapoaxtla, said Virginia Vital Yep, Program Coordinator for Vector of State Health Secretariat.
Puebla is ranked 15 in incidence of dengue in the national level, but not lower our guard because it is about entities that are at the top: Guerrero, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Morelos, he said.

V?ctor Manuel Torres Meza, deputy director of epidemiology at the State Health Secretariat of Mexico, announced that more than a dozen municipalities adjacent to Morelos and Guerrero have been documented 20 cases of dengue in 2010.

The specialist said that in the rainy season increases the population of mosquitoes, which was reinforced by the "epidemiological shield" to prevent further incidence of the disease.

In turn, the Ministry of Health of Tabasco reported that no "hot spots" by dengue in the state, as the number of cases from January to date is 42.2 percent lower than in the same period of 2009.
