Re: India 2012: Encephalitis, 852 deaths - Outbreaks in Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal

The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme http://nvbdcp.gov.in/je-cd.html maintains an official State by State record of AES and JE cases in India. I believe that the figures are somewhat incomplete and can be at odds with numbers reported by the individual states, by individual districts and hospitals within states and with reports from the Integrated Disease Surveillance Project http://www.idsp.nic.in/idsp/IDSP/resource_idsp.jsp . I have been monitoring media, hospital, State and National encephalitis figures for the past 24 months. In Uttar Pradesh in 2010, the official figure was 494 fatalities, but several media reports put the figure at 512 or higher. 2011 was an active year for AES. By combining all of the local reports, we came up with a final toll of 1,358 - 15% higher than the official total. 2012 looks like it might top 2011 and might even challenge 2005 as the most deadly of the past 10 years.

Official NVBDCP fatality statistics:
2003: 707
2004: 367
2005: 1,682
2006: 658
2007: 995
2008: 684
2009: 774
2010: 679
2011: 1,169 (FT total 1,358)
2012 (to end July): 598 (FT total 847 to end August)


NVBDCP figures 2003-2010
FT figures 2011, 2012

Surge in encephalitis cases in Gorakhpur, locals complain of apathy
Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) , Tue, 04 Sep 2012ANI


Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Sept 4 (ANI): The rising instances of Encephalitis have claimed over 200 lives this year, causing panic and anger among the residents.
Accumulation of filth across the city during monsoons has worsened the dilapidated healthcare facilities.
The locals, flabbergasted at the official apathy, told mediapersons that every year several people die in the government hospital due to alarming rise of the disease, and the administration has failed to take any preventive measures.
"Gorakhpur Medical College is the only medical college in east where seven to eight children die everyday. Over 50 children are admitted everyday, and these figures show that every month the number is increasing. Indian government should get serious about the matter," Yogendra Chauhan, one of the residents, said.
Due to poor medical facilities, three to four patients use one bed in the medical college hospital. Figures claim that every day ten to eleven people die due to Encephalitis in the region.

Re: India 2012: Encephalitis, 909 deaths - Outbreaks in Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal

Comment - Sadly a significant portion of encephalitis cases (maybe up to 95% in Uttar Pradesh) are not caused by JE, but by possible enteroviral infection due to contaminated water. There does not seem to be much in this plan to combat this problem. This could be a bureaucratic problem since non-vector borne AES is not technically within the scope of the NVBDCP. Telling people not to drink dirty water, but failing to provide a clean water source will not solve the issue - Ro.



Ministry of Health and Family Welfare 04-September, 2012 16:00 IST
Combating JE And AES
The Government of India implements National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme for prevention and control of vector borne disease including Japanese Encephalitis (JE)/Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES). Govt of India has taken the following steps since 2011 to tackle the deaths of children due to JE/AES.

? Strengthening of diagnostic facilities
? Strengthening of vector surveillance measures
? Augmentation of JE Vaccination
? Training of manpower regarding effective case management
? Strengthening of Information, Education Commutation (IEC)/Behavior Change Commutation(BCC).

Government of India (GOI) constituted a Group of Ministers (GoM) in November, 2011 to evolve a multi-pronged strategy to address multiple issues relating to Japanese Encephalitis/Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE/AES). The GoM held 4 meetings and finalized its recommendations pertaining to public health interventions, expansion of JE vaccination, improved case management, medical and social rehabilitation, improved provisions of drinking water and sanitation in rural and urban areas and improved nutrition. The recommendations of the GoM have been submitted to Cabinet Secretariat.

Government of India provides technical support and supplements the efforts of the State Governments by providing funds and commodities as per the requirements of the States as reflected in the Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) under NRHM.

The above information was given by the Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.

No government hospital has 'isolation ward' for diseases like swine flu, dengue or Japanese encephalitis. Even the laboratory of the medical college is ill-equipped to test blood samples.

As per the recent guidelines of state health authorities, all the district hospitals must have a 10-bed isolated ward for JE, dengue and swine flu.
