Abstract

Background: Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that has recently become a burden worldwide, particularly in low-income countries, such as Yemen. There have been no epidemiological studies on DF in recent years in Yemen. Therefore, based on secondary data, this study aimed to shed light on the epidemiology of DF in Yemen between 2020 and 2024.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis using secondary data recorded between January 2020 and August 2024 in the Surveillance Center of the Ministry of Health and Population in Aden. The data was gathered in a Microsoft Excel file and descriptively analyzed.

Results: A total of 104,562 dengue cases, aged between 1 and 80 years (SD = 24.93±17.02), were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. A higher proportion of DF cases was recorded among males (58.10%), the age group of 15-24 years (26.11%), in 2020 (30.65%), in the Taiz governorate (39.17%), and in the autumn (28.9%). The total incidence of DF was 103.09 per 10,000 individuals. Additionally, the incidence rate of DF per 10,000 individuals was significantly higher among males (118.3 cases), aged 25-34 years (91.73 cases), in 2020 (31.39 cases), and in the Shabwah governorate (176.96 cases). In general, the total fatality rate was 217 (0.21%), with a high rate among females (0.23%), aged ≥ 65 years (0.75%), in 2020 (0.37%), and the Aden governorate (0.82%).

Conclusion: These findings indicate that the rates of DF cases have increased in Yemen over the last few years. Therefore, it is critical to introduce an effective program to prevent DF and control dengue vector transmission in Yemen.

也门登革热：2020-2024年五年回顾

背景：登革热是一种蚊媒病毒感染，最近已成为世界范围内的一种负担，特别是在也门等低收入国家。近年来在也门没有关于登革热的流行病学研究。因此，基于二手数据，本研究旨在阐明2020年至2024年也门登革热的流行病学。方法：采用亚丁卫生和人口部监测中心在2020年1月至2024年8月期间记录的二手数据进行回顾性分析。数据收集在微软Excel文件中，并进行描述性分析。结果：共纳入104562例登革热病例，年龄在1 ~ 80岁之间（SD = 24.93±17.02）。DF病例在男性（58.10%）、15-24岁年龄组（26.11%）、2020年（30.65%）、塔伊兹省（39.17%）和秋季（28.9%）中所占比例较高。DF的总发病率为103.09 / 10000人。此外，每万人中DF的发病率在男性（118.3例）、25-34岁（91.73例）、2020年（31.39例）和Shabwah省（176.96例）中显著较高。总体而言，总死亡率为217(0.21%)，其中女性（0.23%）、年龄≥65岁（0.75%）、2020年（0.37%）和亚丁省（0.82%）的死亡率较高。结论：这些发现表明，在过去几年中，也门的DF病例率有所上升。因此，在也门引入有效的规划以预防登革热和控制登革热媒介传播至关重要。
