Chikungunya on rise, AIIMS tests 885 samples +ve

Posted at: Sep 8 2016 5:58PM

Chikungunya is refusing to let go of its grip on Delhi with patients swamping the hospitals including AIIMS which itself has tested nearly 890 blood test samples positive for the vector-borne disease in the last two months.

Several hospitals in the national capital are reporting increasing cases of chikungunya, including at Safdarjung Hospital where three deaths due to dengue and one due to malaria have taken place this season.

Cases are likely to rise further as the season peaks in September. At AIIMS here, which gets blood test samples from several cities, including from Delhi and neighbouring regions, hundreds of chikungunya samples have been tested positive.

"At our AIIMS laboratories, 885 chikungunya blood test samples have tested positive in the last two months (July- August). Cases are rising and more and more people are getting affected," Lalit Dar of Department of Microbiology at AIIMS said.

The sudden spike in chikungunya cases in Delhi and other parts of north India, has come nearly ten years after a big outbreak of this mosquito-borne disease across the country.
Besides, the city is also battling spiralling cases of dengue which has claimed at least nine lives in Delhi while two people have also died due to malaria this season.

"At our hospital till September 6, 480 cases of chikungunya and 316 cases of dengue have been reported this year. The numbers are likely to rise with the peak of the season this month," Medical Superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital A K Rai said. [Compare this to the official figure of 432 cases for all of Delhi to Aug 31st - Ro]

NEW DELHI, Sep 17, 2016, DHNS
Dengue, the other mosquito-borne disease which has hit the capital this season, has so far claimed 13 lives.
Five more chikungunya deaths were reported in the city on Friday, taking the toll to 18 so far this season.

To tackle the rush of patients which the city government hospitals are receiving from neighbouring states, the Centre-run hospitals will reserve 1,000 beds in its hospitals to treat patients suffering from vector-borne diseases.

Delhi govt panel ?rules out? chikungunya as primary cause of deaths
Ruling out chikungunya as the primary cause of fatality, the panel said it was co-morbid conditions in its patients which led to their deaths

New Delhi: The committee set up by the Delhi government to review cases of death attributed to dengue and chikungunya complications has ?ruled out? chikungunya as the primary cause of fatality and said it was ?co-morbid conditions? in its patients which led to their deaths.

Hospitals in the city have reported at least 15 deaths this season due to complications triggered by chikungunya which has also affected over 1,700 people in Delhi. The committee in its report, which was released on Saturday by the Delhi government, has, however, only reviewed nearly 20 cases.Review of some of the cases are still awaited, for ?lack of documents? from the hospitals.
...

?While we are saying that chikungunya cannot kill we are not taking it any less seriously. We want people to know that Delhi government is adequately prepared and, our hospitals and mohalla clinics are equipped with testing facilities and fever clinics. So, no need to panic.

?Also, these patients who were tested positive for chikungunya had co-morbid conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, or kidney problem. And, so these co-morbid conditions led to their death and not chikungunya per se,? a top official said.

Chikungunya hasn?t killed anyone, says Delhi govt as it spars with L-G
Anonna Dutt and Vishal Kant, Hindustan Times, New Delhi | Updated: Sep 18, 2016 01:09 IST

Chikungunya killed no one in Delhi.
This was the conclusion of the Delhi government?s investigation into the death of 13 people across five public and private hospitals in the city over the past three weeks, all attributed to the mosquito-borne disease.
?Deaths due to chikungunya: nil,? said the death review committee, which also studied seven dengue deaths. It listed two as ?suspected dengue? and rejected one on technical grounds.
The results of three chikungunya-related and four dengue deaths are pending.
Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain refused to comment. ?The report has been shared with you (the media).?
The findings came on a day when Delhi government ministers and the lieutenant governor?s office were locked in a war of words after Najeeb Jung directed deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Friday night to cut short his Finland tour in wake of the sudden spurt in dengue and chikungunya cases in the capital.
Experts said chikungunya virus worsens existing conditions, much like other infections, and pointed out that when people with HIV, that causes AIDS, die of pneumonia and tuberculosis, their deaths are universally certified as AIDS deaths.
?Any viral fever not managed properly can lead to severe complications. If these complications kill, then the virus is listed as the ultimate cause of death,? said Dr Charu Hans, former head of microbiology at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
