Comment: I remain skeptical of the numbers coming out of Uttar Pradesh. Up to June 29th 112 fatalities from 1,171 cases (9.6%) were reported, 11 fatalities from 1,517 cases (0.73%) were tallied from July to October, then 23 deaths from 186 cases (12.3%) in the past month. Media reports put the total number of deaths at a minimum of 156 and certainly indicate that many deaths are being classified as anything but AES.


By my very incomplete count, 1 death from Chhattisgarh, 5 from Manipur, 18 total fatal cases have been reported in Kerala to November 16 in addition to 17 fatal cases due to Nipah, 7 from Madhya Pradesh, 2 from Maharashtra, 2 from Gujarat, 1 from Punjab, 5 from Uttarakhand, 6 from Tamil Nadu and 1 fatal case from Tripura.


Thus the national toll is at a very minimum 508.

By comparison the Health Management Information System (to November) is reporting 18,474 tests conducted nationwide for JE of which 1,896 have returned positive. Of those, 12,802 and 1,056 respectively were from Uttar Pradesh. The same report tallies 356 AES deaths & 153 JE deaths nationwide of which 17 AES and 89 JE come from UP. - Ro

Massive intervention helps curb Japanese Encephalitis in Malkangiri
A massive vaccination drive along with a series of interventions and awareness programmes have ensured zero deaths due to JE virus.


Published: 12th December 2018 09:36 AM | Last Updated: 12th December 2018 09:36 AM | A+A A-

MALKANGIRI: With massive intervention on multiple fronts, the district administration has finally been able to control Japanese Encephalitis (JE).The mosquito-borne disease caused by JE virus had claimed at least 34 lives in the Koya tribe dominated villages in 2016. Two years hence, with an all-out war declared against the disease by the district administration, its recurrence has been prevented. Of the 103 deaths reported in 2016, about 34 were due to Japanese Encephalitis (JE) while the remaining were caused by Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES). No deaths due to JE have been reported in the last two years.

Massive vaccination drive, multiple strategies, series of interventions and awareness programmes undertaken by the administration with the active participation of all ASHA, AWW, health workers and PRI members in the last two years has helped in controlling JE trend in the district, Malkangiri Collector Manish Agarwal said.

Congress walks out of Uttar Pradesh Assembly over Gorakhpur encephalitis deaths
Congress Legislature Party leader Ajay Kumar had sought to know the number of deaths due to Japanese Encephalitis and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome.


Published: 21st December 2018 02:44 PM | Last Updated: 21st December 2018 02:44 PM | A+A A-

LUCKNOW: The Congress walked out of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Friday, alleging that the state government had imposed an "emergency" in BRD Medical College to hide actual figures of encephalitis deaths in Gorakhpur from the media.

The matter was raised during the Question Hour by Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Ajay Kumar Lallu. He sought to know the number of deaths due to Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).

Responding to him, Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh claimed that compared to previous years, encephalitis cases and deaths have come down due to the government's sustained efforts.

"Due to training and awareness, the encephalitis cases and deaths have come down. In the budget, for the first time Rs 20 crore was earmarked for the awareness drive and people from all walks (of life) were associated with the campaign due to which we got success in containing the disease," he said.

Lallu, however, claimed that in Gorakhpur alone scores of people had died due to encephalitis.

Encephalitis deaths drop by 66% in East UP in 2018
While a big vaccination drive was launched for JE, a massive sanitation and information campaign was launched this year to check cases of AES, which has no vaccine.

BRD Medical College, 268 people died of encephalitis in 10 months
December 2, 2018 by Gorakhpur News Line 1 min read
BRD Medical College Gorakhpur
Gorakhpur Despite all the claims of the government, Uttar Pradesh Khaskar from Encephalitis (JE / AES) is not able to curb the death of children in Purvanchal. At BRD Medical College, 268 people have died in 10 months from January to October this year.

According to data received from January 1 to October 31, 948 encephalitis patients were admitted to BRD Medical College during this period, in which 268 died. The patients admitted here are from Gorakhpur, Maharajganj, Kushinagar, Deoria, Basti, Siddharthnagar, Santakbirnagar, Mau, Gonda, Ghazipur, Balrampur, Ballia, Azamgarh, besides Bihar and Nepal.

The number of encephalitis patients has decreased compared to the last four years but the death rate is much higher this year. The death rate this year is 28.27 per cent as compared to 28.15 in 2014, 25.33 in 2015, 26.16 in 2016 and 22.69 per cent in 2017.

Analyzing the data of encephalitis patients admitted to BRD Medical College from January 1 to October 31, it is found that the district most affected by encephalitis is Gorakhpur. So far this year, there are 256 cases of Gorakhpur alone in 948 cases of encephalitis reported in BRD Medical College. That means 27 percent of the total patients. Four districts of Gorakhpur division - Gorakhpur, Deoria, Kushinagar and Maharajganj, are the most affected by encephalitis. In BRD Medical College, the number of patients from these four districts is more than 64 percent. Apart from this, a large number of encephalitis patients are coming from BRD Medical College from Bihar as well. By October, 101 patients with encephalitis were admitted to BRD Medical College from Bihar.
