| Current epidemiological situation in Martinique |
Monitoring of laboratory confirmed cases
Monitoring of laboratory confirmed cases is conducted
closely with the medical biology laboratories
city, the Virology Laboratory of the University Hospital of Martinique and
Laboratory National Reference Centre (CNR) of arboviruses
(Institute of Biomedical Research of the Army).
To date, 47 confirmed cases were recorded by date
early signs between S2015-48 and S2016-01 weeks
(November 23, 2016 to Jan. 10, 2016) (Figure 1). Considering
transmission delays levies, results
S2015-01 week remain on hold. In addition, a confirmed case
is under investigation and is not included in Figure 1.
Among the confirmed cases, two pregnant women were recorded
(third trimester) and a GuillainBarr? syndrome
(GBS).
Spatial distribution of suspected and confirmed cases
Surveillance of clinically suggestive cases by
the sentinel physician network
Since 28 December 2015, zika of monitoring by the
sentinel physician network began. It allowed
estimated that about 150 cases of clinically suggestive zika
were seen in consultation for the week of December 28
in 2015 3 January 2016.
For the week of 4 to 10 January 2016, it was 460 cases
clinically suggestive that were seen in consultation
marking a significant increase in viral transmission
(Figure 1).
Spatial distribution of suspected and confirmed cases
The 46 confirmed cases are spread over 16 communes
department: Carbet, Case-Pilote, Ducos, Font Saint-Denis,
Fort de France, Fran?ois, Lamentin, Preacher, Robert, Sainte-Luce,
St. Mary, St. Peter, Sch?lcher, Trinidad, TroisIlets
and Vauclin.
The spatial distribution of new clinically suggestive case
seen by sentinel physicians in week S2016-01
is also presented in Figure 2.
The map shows an increase in the number of common
impacted by viral traffic that always concerns mainly
the center of Martinique, the Caribbean and the North
South.
Some municipalities have confirmed cases without pre-
submit suggestive cases reported by sentinel physicians.
This can be partly explained by the fact that the card pre-
feel the distribution of all confirmed cases and one
suspected cases only for S2016-1 week.
Conclusions for Martinique
The indicators for monitoring the zika reflect a net increase in virus circulation on
the territory of Martinique.
Areas impacted mainly known through monitoring remain the center of Martinique,
Northern Caribbean and some South Commons.
The epidemiological situation in Martinique zika always the Level 2 Psage
arbovirus: beginner indigenous transmission. It will be reviewed shortly by the Committee of Experts
for emerging infectious diseases.
