After dengue scare, viral fever fear grips Capital
1 Sep 2008, 0334 hrs IST,TNN

NEW DELHI: The Capital is witnessing a sharp increase in the number of viral fever cases. Private hospitals claim that the OPD load has increased by 30-35% with a majority of cases presenting with symptoms of viral fever. Due to early monsoon, dengue cases have started coming early and doctors say that people are confusing viral fever with dengue as the symptoms are almost the same.

?Dengue is also a viral infection that is spread through mosquitoes. The symptoms of dengue and other viral infections are almost the same, especially in the initial stages, and people are rushing to hospitals even if they have mild fever. At present, nearly 30-35% patients in our OPDs comprise viral fever patients. And everyday there are nearly 5-6 admissions, where dengue is suspected,? said Dr G C Vaishnava, head of the department, internal medicine, Fortis Healthcare.

Doctors say they are bombarded with calls from people, especially mothers, to check if their little one is suffering from dengue or simple viral fever. ?A lot of mothers call me up to say that their little one is down with high-grade fever and ask me ?is it dengue or viral fever? And what medicine should I give?? This is a wrong practice as prescription over the phone, especially for children, can be dangerous. A doctor has to see a patient to diagnose the condition. But at the same time one should not panic with sudden onset of fever. If high-grade fever continues for more than 24-36 hours then consult a doctor,? said Dr Sanjeev Bagai, head of the department, paediatrics, and director Rockland Hospital.

Due to sudden change in weather, viral fever cases have suddenly shot-up in Delhi. There is viral shift in air and chances of viral infections are high.

?One can get viral infection through respiratory tract or from food and water. One should be extra cautious about what they eat or drink and avoid crowded places, as chances of catching infection are high,? said Dr Mukesh Mehra, head of the department, internal medicine, Max Healthcare.

As far as treatment is concerned, doctors say, one should be careful and avoid antibiotics until prescribed by a doctor. ?People are getting confused between dengue and viral fever and are randomly popping pills without consulting a doctor. One should, at the most, take paracetamol and not indulge in self-medication,? said Dr A K Bali, consultant physician, Moolchand Medcity.

However, most importantly, doctors say that one should avoid Ibruprofen, Aspirin and Nemusulide, as these drugs disturb the platelet function. ?Not only do they result in platelet dysfunction, but also brings down the platelet count, thereby, making it difficult for doctors to diagnose the problem in the initial stages. The symptoms of dengue and viral fever are almost the same and if one has viral fever and has taken a painkiller, then with low platelet count a physician could mistake it for dengue,? said Dr Bagai.

Mystery disease forces mass exodus from Uttar Pradesh villages

September 1st, 2008 -

Kanpur, Sep 1 (IANS) Villages around Kanpur, which have seen a mysterious fever claiming over 140 lives in the past four weeks, are now witnessing a mass exodus.In the worst affected Ghaar and Pulandar villages, about 300 families have already moved out.

Over 1,000 people have been infected with the mysterious disease in the two villages, where about 800 families reside. Most of the people in these villages live in thatched houses.

Ailing people lying on cots and team of medicos visiting door to door reflect the alarming situation prevailing in these villages.

In these two villages at least 40 people have died of the mysterious disease, which is marked by high fever and has symptoms similar to malaria.

?The scare of the mysterious fever is driving away people in search of safe locations,? Ram Sewak, village head of Pulandar, told IANS.

?Considering the death toll, they (villagers) now think moving out from here is the most viable option to ward off the mysterious disease,? he added.

The majority of the population in these two villages are poor Harijans who work as labourers in brick kilns.

The villagers are now selling off their brass utensils, which they say is their most precious possessions.

?To fetch money for moving out from here, about 100 families here have either mortgaged or sold off their brass utensils,? said Somnath, the village head of Ghaar.

The scare of the mysterious fever can be gauged from the fact that the villagers fear to remain in their houses alone.

?They all huddle in fields during the day and also sleep in the open at night. By this, they feel a sense a security,? said Somnath.

Sanitation conditions in the two villages are highly unsatisfactory. Open drains, filth and squalor can also be seen littered all around the villages.

Taking this into account, the health authorities do not rule out the possibility that the mysterious fever might be water-borne.

Villagers alleged that the relief camps set up by the health administration to contain the mysterious disease are not serving any purpose.

?Without examining you, the government doctors will just hand you tablets of paracetamol. None of your queries are entertained by the doctors,? said Santosh Devi Dayal, a local of Pulandar village.

?In case of my wife Sangeeta, doctors did the same and she died of the mysterious disease,? alleged Dayal, who has also decided to leave the village with his 10-month old daughter.

When contacted, Director General (medical and health) I.S. Srivastava said: ?We have already started relief work in affected villages on war footing. Every effort is being made to tackle the situation prevailing in Kanpur Dehat (the Kanpur rural district.?

UNDIAGNOSED FATAL ILLNESS - INDIA (07): (UTTAR PRADESH)
*******************************************************
A ProMED-mail post
<http://www.promedmail.org>
ProMED-mail is a program of the
International Society for Infectious Diseases
<http://www.isid.org>

Date: Mon 1 Sep 2008
From: T Jacob John <vlr_tjjohn@sancharnet.in>


I am responding to the following query in "Undiagnosed fatal illness -
India (06): (UP) 20080830.2718": "The AES [acute encephalitis syndrome]
outbreak report does not indicate why this is not thought to be Japanese
encephalitis (JE). Is this a region where JE vaccine has been routinely
included in the children's vaccine series for years, and where that
coverage has been good, suggesting that most children should be protected?
ProMED-mail would appreciate information on that aspect."

In the last quarter of 2005, over 1500 children died in Eastern Uttar
Pradesh districts due to an outbreak of JE. A quick decision was made by
the Government of India to seek licensure of the live SA-14-14-2 (Chinese
origin) vaccine. In May and June 2006, 6.8 million children, one to 15
years were vaccinated in a highly successful campaign, covering more than
98 per cent of targeted children.

Vaccination was conducted only in the JE endemic districts in the eastern
region of Uttar Pradesh. Thereafter single dose JE vaccine has been
introduced in the National Immunisation Program in these districts and thus
JE vaccination has become "routine" in those districts.

This method of one campaign followed by routine vaccination has been
conducted in all JE endemic districts year by year, from 2006. This year
[2008] the campaigns will be in the southern most state of Kerala (limited
districts). This JE vaccination program is technically and financially
supported by PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health
<WWW.PATH.ORG>). You will be able to get full details from PATH (Dr Kathy
Neuzil is the nodal expert).

The Immunisation Program in Uttar Pradesh is weak and apparently the use of
JE vaccine in the routine system has not been very successful (from
conversations, no definitive data). However, local pediatricians have felt
substantial decline of JE from the 2006 JE season. It is for this reason
that the current "acute encephalitis syndrome" is not thought to be JE by
the government medical officers. In one of the reports a couple of weeks
ago there was mention that among over 100 children tested, only 5 had
evidence of JE virus infection. Testing for JE virus infection [by the]
health system in Uttar Pradesh leaves much to be desired from quality and
equity angles. Their annual non-polio "acute flaccid paralysis" rate is
above 7 per 100 000 children under tha age of 15, whereas the norm is 1/100
000 elsewhere. The Polio Eradication Initiative pegged up the norm for
Indian subcontinent to 2/100 000 -- but 7-10 per year remains unexplained.
So, Uttar Pradesh has low literacy, high density of population, high birth
rate, high infant mortality rate, poor vaccination coverage, high burden of
all sorts of infectious diseases, and weak health care and public health
systems. You may recall that Uttar Pradesh (along with neighboring Bihar)
is still endemic with wild types 1 and 3 polioviruses. "The wages of
neglect are death."

Encephalitis outbreak kills 200 in India

3rd September 2008, 4:08 WST

Nearly 200 people, mostly children, have died in an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, health officials say.

A spokesman from the state-run BRD Medical College in the state's Gorakhpur district said the toll had reached 199 with the deaths of five more children on Wednesday.

"We received around 1,100 patients with encephalitis in two hospitals since June and 199 of them have died so far," the hospital spokesman said by telephone from Gorakhpur.

"Around 180 others suffering from the mosquito-borne disease are currently under observation," he said, adding that some of the victims had been brought from adjoining districts.

Gorakhpur was at the centre of a major encephalitis outbreak that claimed more than 1,400 lives across Uttar Pradesh in 2005.

Last year, 400 people died of the encephalitis virus in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, with 180 million people.

Health experts say 70 million children in India are at risk of encephalitis, which can result in brain damage, as the country does not have the infrastructure to produce more than two million vaccines a year.

U.P. reeling under water-borne diseases


Atiq Khan







LUCKNOW: With at least two dozen districts of Uttar Pradesh reeling under the impact of rain-related diseases, the worst may not yet be over for them, despite the decline in floods and respite from the prolonged spell of monsoon.
Already, over 400 people have succumbed to viral fever, malaria, diarrhoea, encephalitis, gastro-enteritis and measles. With runoff of water receding following a lull in rainfall, a fresh outbreak of water and vector-borne diseases has not been ruled out.
Density of mosquitoes


According to health officials, there is a likelihood of a 25 per cent increase in the cases of viral fever and malaria, as also the dreaded encephalitis. ?As the run off of rain and flood waters would be reduced to a considerable extent, the density of mosquitoes and viruses would increase in the stagnant water,? said R.R. Bharti, Director of Vector-Borne Diseases in the State Medical and Health Directorate here.

Encephalitis outbreak kills 200 in India

06:13 AEST Wed Sep 3 2008







Nearly 200 people, mostly children, have died in an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, health officials say.
A spokesman from the state-run BRD Medical College in the state's Gorakhpur district said the toll had reached 199 with the deaths of five more children on Wednesday.
"We received around 1,100 patients with encephalitis in two hospitals since June and 199 of them have died so far," the hospital spokesman said by telephone from Gorakhpur.
"Around 180 others suffering from the mosquito-borne disease are currently under observation," he said, adding that some of the victims had been brought from adjoining districts.
Gorakhpur was at the centre of a major encephalitis outbreak that claimed more than 1,400 lives across Uttar Pradesh in 2005.
Last year, 400 people died of the encephalitis virus in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, with 180 million people.
Health experts say 70 million children in India are at risk of encephalitis, which can result in brain damage, as the country does not have the infrastructure to produce more than two million vaccines a year.:tiphat: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=624840
