Do you think a title change to say August is a good idea?
 
Re: Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh: mystery fever outbreak- 250 fatalities in September - Dengue, malaria, H1N1, others suspected

Re: Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh: mystery fever outbreak- 250 fatalities in September - Dengue, malaria, H1N1, others suspected

Sure - this fever (or these fever) outbreak(s) seems to have started in August during the monsoon, and has continued through September and October. From Mid August to mid September, it seems there were around 70 fatalities, from mid Sep to mid October there have been around 220 additional fatalities.

from wikipedia;
Temperature: Depending on the elevation, the average temperatures vary from 12.5?17.5 ?C (55?64 ?F) in January to 27.5?32.5 ?C (82?91 ?F) in May and June. The highest temperature recorded in the State was 49.9 ?C (121.8 ?F) at Gonda on 8 May 1958.

Rainfall: Rainfall in the State ranges from 1,000?2,000 mm (39?79 in) in the east to 600?1,000 mm (24?39 in) in the west. About 90% of the rainfall occurs during the southwest Monsoon, lasting from about June to September. With most of the rainfall concentrated during this four-month period, floods are a recurring problem and cause heavy damage to crops, life, and property, particularly in the eastern part of the state, where the Himalayan-origin rivers flow with a very low north-south gradient.

Kanpur: Fever of unknown origin raises its head

Kanpur: Fever of unknown origin raises its head

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...own-origin-props-head/articleshow/6770155.cms


KANPUR: In past few months as vector-borne diseases have spread tentacles in the city, cases of fever of unknown origin (FUO) were also reported. For Pragya, it has been a month now where she has been continuously struggling with fever. She consulted several doctors and followed different antibiotic courses but nothing seemed to work. Doctors had not been able to pin-point the cause so far. Blood tests, urine and stool tests, sputum examination and even X-rays were conducted, but the cause of the fever could not be known.

However, when doctors carried out more investigations, they found that Pragya was suffering from fever of unknown origin. Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is also referred to as pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). Doctors found out that she had fever above 101 degree Fahrenheit which was persistent and undiagnosed for at least three weeks and even after one week of hospital investigation.

One fifth of the patients visiting the OPD suffer from FUO, said Dr Vivudh Pratap Singh of the department of medicine, Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) Hospital. He said that there are many conditions underlaying persistent fever which remain undetected. These can be due to infection in the urinary tract, tuberculosis, auto immune diseases where immune system start to act against the body functions, latent fungal infections, neoplasm (cancer) and effect of drugs.

Generally, it is not advisable to start the therapy before the cause has been established. This would not only be ineffective but also delay diagnosis, he added. The term fever of unknown origin initially was reserved for adults with an illness lasting for three or more weeks associated with fever of more than 101 degrees Fahrenheit without an established cause after at least one week of investigation.

On the contrary, children with FUO have either treatable or self-limited diseases. In such cases, fever lasts for atleast eight days, he informed.

Such cases, where unrelenting fever refuses to respond to any treatment, bring lot of worries for the patient. For the treatment of FUO various types of tests are conducted, if those primary tests turns out to be negative, then anti-tuberculosis therapy and anti-microbial therapies are followed. If it is a case of auto immune disease, immuno suppressant drugs are given to cure the patient, said Dr Vivudh.

He also mentioned that most of the cases of fever are labelled as FUO without a thorough investigation. Therefore, it is suggested to visit a general practitioner as early as possible in case of consistent fever for the early detection of disease.

Shortage of blood platelets creates crisis in city
TNN, Oct 18, 2010, 09.43pm IST
KANPUR: Shortage of blood platelets has created another crisis at a time when viral fever, dengue and chikungunia are raging the city.

....

At present, requirement of platelets had crossed 100 units per day. Private hospitals are recommending platelet transfusion for those whose counts are more than 50,000, said Dr Ashok Agnihotri, incharge, blood component separation unit, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial (GSVM) Medical College.

He maintained that the medical college has been providing platelets, but conceded that the increase in dengue patients had put pressure on availability. "Since the past one month, the demand has almost doubled. We have to work extra time to make platelets and other blood products.

......

Notably, the demand for platelets, blood component responsible for clotting, has been steadily rising with the increase in infectious diseases like dengue and malaria.

The shortage of beds at the government and private hospital had badly hit the patients. The seriousness of the situation can be gauged from the fact that some private hospitals are displaying the board of `hospital full'. Only critical patients are being admitted. The government hospital are accommodating two patients on one bed.

Going back through our previous posts in the India forum I came across one from Aug 14, and merged it into this thread as Post # 1 - the first post monsoon outbreak in Kanpur.

Worth looking back just for this quote from CMO Ashok Mishra:

"It was a mere coincidence that two deaths were reported from the same village. We have conducted blood tests. People should stop worrying. It is not anything major, just seasonal fever."

Whatever this is, we now have HCW infections, although the presence of mosquitoes in the hospital does provide an alternative explanation. Could also be H1N1 here. Not good either way.

Typhoid is waterborne, so if this is typhoid, the nurses didn't get it from an ill patient.

While this is in Kanpur, it appears not to be within Ramabai Nagar.

12 UHM nurses down with fever
19 Oct, 2010 2137hrs IST TNN


KANPUR: Call it the irony of sorts or the lackadaisical attitude of the administration of the Ursula Horsman Memorial (UHM) hospital that nearly 12 nurses, entrusted with the responsibility of looking after the ailing patients, are themselves down with fever.

The reasons attributed for this precarious situation is the unhygienic conditions prevailing in and around the nursing hostel situated inside the UHM premises. Chocking drains have turned the hostel premises into a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes.

The seriousness of the situation can be gauged from the fact that around 12 nurses, including a member of the para-medical staff, have been admitted to the general ward of the hospital in the past 48 hours.

The doctors are conducting preliminary tests to learn the exact nature of disease. UHM doctor Shailendra Tiwari said the nurses could be suffering from either viral or typhoid.

Their illness has also hit the nursing services at the hospital. The hospital, which is already facing staff crunch, is now left with only a handful of nurses at a time when the hospital is flooded with patients.

Dengue cases rise so do efforts to combat
TNN, Oct 19, 2010, 09.42pm IST

Tags:kanpur nagar nigam|dengue KANPUR: The industrial city has registered a sharp increase in the number of dengue cases. With 30 new cases being reported from the Kanpur district last week, the total number has reached 86 within a span of 45 days. Undoubtedly, the female mosquito carrier of dengue virus, also called tiger mosquito, is playing havoc. However, the health department emphasise on the need to take preventive measures instead of panicking.

According to the data provided by the urban malaria department, the number of dengue cases till this time in the year 2009 was only 15. The figure was around 36 during the same period in the year 2008. "Though, we are witnessing a spurt in dengue cases, we are trying to combat the situation by coordinating with the Kanpur Nagar Nigam (KNN). The health department has already started spraying anti-larva on mosquito breeding grounds. The nagar nigam has also started fogging in the same area to kill adult mosquitoes," said chief medical officer Ashok Mishra.

Going by the past three years' record, the city has registered a large number of dengue cases this year. Health experts say chances of any bacterial or viral disease becoming virulent increases after three-four years.

"Since vector-borne illness like dengue, chikangunya and Japanese encephalitis are cyclic infections, chances of mutation increases within three to four years. With the increase in the population every year, there are new cases. Both new and old cases, including the ones not affected in the previous year or the year before, are more vulnerable to such illness," said urban malaria officer AK Singh.

However, so far, no dengue deaths have been reported by the malaria department. "Presently, no causality has come into account. Since the district has reported more cases compared to last three years, extensive actions are being taken to ensure that the high number of dengue cases can be minimised," said Singh.

The officer also claimed that besides spraying anti-larva, they were taking several preventive measures to destroy the potential mosquito breeding grounds. The measures include door-to-door checking for presence of mosquito breeding, checking of different places having water collection and also coordinating with nagar nigam.

In order to create awareness among the masses, the CMO urged people not to panic. Instead, he highlighted the various preventive measures that could be taken. He said people should empty stagnant water from old tires, trash cans and flower pots and not allow water to collect in or near residential and office areas. The urban malaria has also launched a helpline number -9369201011- where people can contact for information or medical aid.

UNKNOWN VIRUS FEVER ; KANPUR city is under Viral attack
Posted by: prakruti on: अक्टूबर 20, 2010

In: आयुर्वेदComment!
In daily news coverage, newspapers are intimating that Kanpur city is affected under the Viral attacks of unknown origin.



I have said earlier about the Viral infection of mu one of the previous post and mentioned the treatment of the same.

Now what is happening in this fever. The features are the below;
1- High grade temperature, from 102 to over
2- Pain in whole body
3- Pain in joints
4- Pain in muscles , causing crippled ness in walking and motion
5- Rashes red colors in skin
6- Headache
7- Nausea and Vomitting
8- Other symptoms according to the feeling of patient


I have treated the patient of Viral infection from very beginning to advance level, treated by allopathic medicines.

My findings are ;
1- Those patient , who came for treatment at the beginning of the fever , got cure after two to four days time limit by use of Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic medicines.
2- Those patient , who took Allopathic medicine for few days and not cured/relieved, switched their treatment to Ayurveda /Homoeopathy took 15 days for recovery, with safety of life

Ayurvedic Medicines are used ;
1- Mahajwarankush Ras
2- Anand Bhairav Ras
3- Mrityunjay ras
4- Maha Suudarshan vati
5- Tribhuvan Kirti Ras

Each one tablets are given 3 hourly with plain water/ tea/ warm water/ tulasi-adarakh tea/honey daily recovered the fever and their symdromes.

Homoeopathic “Anti Biotic Mother tinctures” mentioned in some posts, are used.

Besides this, to prevent from raising the temperature, off and on Paracetamol is used to prevent from high temperature, if raises from 102 to above. Donot use PARACETAMOL , if temperature is 102 or below.

The safe recovery is assured without any risk, but it takes time at least for two weeks depending upon the intensity of the depth of the infection.

Take small bit of food and drinks in short as well as long interval for preventing weakness.

Do not panic mentally with this disease condition. Have faith on your doctor and treatment.

Viral fever crisis turning into epidemic
TNN, Oct 21, 2010, 03.51am IST
Tags:viral fever|epidemic LUCKNOW: Over 1100 people have died in UP in past three months due to various tropical diseases -- viral fever, dengue and encephalitis among others. While the state health administration puts the number of casualties at 577, the ground reality tells a different story.

The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that chief minister Mayawati had to take time out on Wednesday from her busy Bihar assembly election campaign to call a high level review meeting to take stock of the situation and the steps taken by the health department so far.

Directing officials to launch a cleanliness drive and ensure anti-larva spray and fogging to curtail mosquito population, chief minister asked the health officials to set up camps in affected areas and provide primary people treatment at the door step. She warned of strict action if officials were found lax in discharge of duties. Assuring more funds allocation for medicines and preventive measures, she said the doctors should be available in the hospitals round the clock.

Soon after the review meeting, director general health PC Ram held a press conference to brief media about the preventive measures and steps taken for the treatment. He denied that 27 deaths have taken place in Khadra locality of the state capital in past five days as reported in the media. "Only 10 deaths have been recorded and no one died due to dengue," he said. He, however, could not explain what was the cause of fever which claimed lives in Khadra. "Actually, we keep record of the cause of death only when the disease is confirmed," he said.

TOI spoke to people in various districts of the state to verify the claims of the health authorities. Dr Manoj Kabra, who runs a super-speciality hospital in Muzaffarnagar, said that hundreds of viral fever cases are being reported every day in the district and on an average one death is taking place daily.
Dr Nagendra Malik from Shamli said over 20 casualties due to malaria and dengue have occurred in the township alone in past one month. "Waterborne diseases are also playing havoc in districts falling in Yamuna catchment, particularly in Meerut, Saharanpur, Aligarh, Agra, Bijnore, Bhagpat and Moradabad, " he added.

Dr Vishvajeet Vamby, a prominent doctor in Meerut, said that all the hospitals are full of viral fever cases. "The changed strain of virus this time is also damaging kidney and liver," he added.

Government doctors in west UP districts -- Bareilly, Pilibhit, Saharanpur, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Kanshiramnagar, Aligarh and Agra -- too admitted that the casualty rate is high this year.

"We are receiving over 200 patients in our out patient door (OPD) facility every day. Around 40-50 patients are also being hospitalised daily and on an average two deaths are being reported per day, said a government doctor in Meerut, pleading anonymity.

In Kanpur, urban malaria officer Dr AK Singh said, "In last 45 days, 86 cases of dengue and 615 of malaria have been reported in the district."

In Varanasi, the chief medical officer's office has recorded 27 dengue cases. So far, 87 dengue causes have been confirmed in the districts adjoining Varanasi. Five suspected dengue deaths have been reported from the SSL hospital (BHU), SPG hospital and DDU district hospital.

Dr S Malik from Lakhimpur said that on an average 40-50 patients of dengue, viral fever and malaria are being admitted in the hospitals.

In Allahabad, while over 250 malaria patients are undergoing treatment at various hospitals, 15 suspected dengue cases have also been reported in the district. District Epidemic Cell incharge Dr Rajendra Kumar, when contacted, said the health department has collected blood samples of all the patients for confirmation.

Yikes. That last article seems to indicate 333 deaths so far.

The translation is very crude, but am I reading correctly that they suspect an influenza, but think they have ruled out H1N1? This is the first mention of respiratory symptoms.

Can someone send that article to ProMED?
