India Encephalitis 2016, 1,376 fatalities

148 people died due to malaria, dengue, encephalitis: Govt

PTI | Jul 29, 2016, 04.27 PM IST

New Delhi, Jul 29 As many as 148 people lost their lives due to Malaria, Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis this year, government told the Lok Sabha.
This year till July 24, there were 21 deaths due to Dengue and 70 people died on account of Japanese Encephalitis, Health Minister J P Nadda said in a reply to questions.

Ro's Comment: Any Health Minister giving this reply to an encephalitis question is guilty of providing a misleading answer. The NVBDCP report from June 30th reported 240 Encephalitis deaths of which only 26 (11%) tested positive for JE. If the number of confirmed JE fatalities has indeed risen to 70, then the overall number of AES deaths will also have risen significantly. Some states provide zero testing. In Madhya Pradesh in 2015, over 200 cases of AES with 97 fatalities were not even recorded by the NVBDCP. That same year, East Siang district in Arunachal Pradesh reported 874 cases of JE & AES, but the NVBDCP recorded only 73 for the entire state. The figures being reported by the Minister only tell a fraction of the story.

Five more JE cases detected
Source: The Sangai Express

Imphal, July 31 2016: With five more positive cases detected today, the total number of confirmed Japanese Encephalitis (JE) cases has reached 27 in the State.

Out of 26 samples tested today at JNIMS, five samples were found positive, informed a high ranking official of the Health Department.
...
http://e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=16..010816.aug16

Ro's Comment: This is now the highest number of confirmed JE cases in the state since 2010. It also seems that there were 26 symptomatic cases that were tested today indicating once again that the confirmed cases of JE being reported are just a fraction of the total burden of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome.

Fear of Japanese encephalitis adds to continuing flood woes

Gaurav Das | TNN | Aug 1, 2016, 12.57 PM IST

Guwahati: With the situation slowly improving in the flooded districts of Assam, the fear of resurgence of Japanese Encephalitis hover over the affected areas. Over 295 JE positive cases have been reported from the state with 66 casualties so far.
...
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...ontinuing-flood-woes/articleshow/53487708.cms

Ro's Comment: To July 21 there were 240 confirmed cases of JE with 59 fatalities. To June 30, only 18% of Acute Encephalitis cases and 25% of fatal cases were confirmed JE. It is likely at this point that Acute Encephalitis cases in Assam exceed a thousand with a couple of hundred fatal cases.

Ro' Comments: Latest figures from Uttar Pradesh raise the number of combined AES/JE fatalities in that state to 110. We have reports in this thread of two encephalitis deaths in Odisha here and here. Two fatalities were reported in Karnataka to July 10. Delhi reported a death on July 22. Manipur reported 20 confirmed cases of JE with 3 deaths to July 28. Note on Assam's figures: My assumption with these releases has been in recent years that the JE cases & fatalities reported are a subset of, and therefore included in, the AES figures. Assam has always been a difficult call as the media reports from the state generally combine the AES & JE figures into a larger number, like here. The figures given in the report are a few days later than those give above but the bottom line is that they are being reported as distinct, giving an additive total for the state of 218 deaths.

Putting all of this together, confirmed fatalities now total to 497. Edit: 428.

Edit: In light of later reporting (see post 125), it seems that the JE numbers are indeed a subset. giving Assam a current total of 149 fatalities.


Comparison to similar period in previous years:
Year // AES Cases/ Deaths/ JE Cases/ Deaths
2015// 2,199 / 240 / 180 / 26 to June 30. No July report was issued. For comparison 4,654 / 640 / 907 / 199 to August 31st
2014// 3,557 / 688 / 623 / 127 to July 31st
2013// 1,714/ 361 / 177 / 39 to July 31st
2012// 3,289/ 598 / NA / NA to July 31st
2011// 1,641/ 244 / NA / NA to July 28th
