Abstract

The viral infection known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) continues to be a problem for public health. In the Sri Sathya Sai district's Dharmavaram revenue subdivision, the highest case fatality rate (CFR) was noted. Children who have dengue fever have an increased risk of dying. The increasing frequency of dengue fever necessitates research into three risk factors: the environment, mosquitoes as the vector, and humans as the host. This study uses a cross-sectional study design and a descriptive methodology. From August to December 2021, information was gathered using primary data in the form of questionnaires. 90 children (48 with dengue and 42 control group) under the age of 18 who met the criteria in the working area's Dharmavaram revenue subdivision served as the study's subjects. The univariate analysis of the data was done using a frequency distribution table. The results of this study show that male children between the ages of 10 and 15 are the ones who experience dengue fever in the workplace the most. Based on other host factors, children who are active outside the home and seldom use repellent are more likely to contract dengue fever. Dengue fever patients have a habit of draining the landfill once every two weeks, never closing the landfill, and never recycling used items, according to Mosquito Nest Eradication Behaviours. Most kids with dengue fever hardly ever hang their clothes up in their rooms or use abatements. Residents of the Dharmavaram revenue subdivision were more likely to contract dengue if they used insect repellent, hung their garments outside, or had larvae in their water containers. The most common serotype of dengue virus is DEN-1. Environmental management encourages intervention against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, a carrier of dengue fever, as well as other environmental changes. We believe that the outcomes of this study will shed light on vulnerable populations and serve as a platform for future research.
儿童登革出血热:风险因素和登革病毒血清型分布在印度安得拉邦Sri Sathya Sai区达玛瓦拉姆收入分区
被称为登革出血热(DHF)的病毒感染仍然是公共卫生的一个问题。在Sri Sathya Sai县的Dharmavaram收入分区,注意到最高的病死率。患有登革热的儿童死亡风险增加。登革热日益频繁,需要对三个危险因素进行研究:环境、作为媒介的蚊子和作为宿主的人类。本研究采用横断面研究设计和描述性方法。从2021年8月到12月,使用问卷形式的原始数据收集信息。90名18岁以下的儿童(48名登革热患者和42名对照组)作为研究对象,他们符合工作区域Dharmavaram收入细分的标准。使用频率分布表对数据进行单变量分析。本研究结果显示,10至15岁的男性儿童是工作场所最易患登革热的人群。基于其他宿主因素,在户外活动和很少使用驱蚊剂的儿童更容易感染登革热。据灭蚊行为组织称,登革热患者有每两周排空垃圾填埋场一次的习惯,从不关闭垃圾填埋场,也从不回收使用过的物品。大多数患登革热的孩子几乎从不把衣服挂在房间里,也不使用浴室。dharmaram收入区的居民如果使用驱蚊剂,将衣服挂在室外,或在水容器中有幼虫,则更有可能感染登革热。登革热病毒最常见的血清型是DEN-1。环境管理鼓励对埃及伊蚊(登革热的一种携带者)进行干预,并鼓励其他环境变化。我们相信,这项研究的结果将有助于了解弱势群体,并为未来的研究提供平台。
