摘要

登革热是一种由埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊传播的病毒性疾病。登革热病毒(DENV)有四种亚型或血清型,即DENV-1、DEVNV-2、DENV-3和DENV-4.1,2潜伏期为3至14天。感染一种亚型只会对该类型产生终身免疫力。然而,未来感染其他血清型可能会导致更严重的疾病,并增加严重并发症的几率。1该疾病每年影响全球约5000万至1亿人。其中约1-2%的患者出现严重并发症,如登革热出血热(DHF)和登革热休克综合征(DSS),每年导致约22000人死亡。登革热(DF)在巴基斯坦所有地区都是地方病,2018年报告了3204例登革热确诊病例。3-5巴基斯坦过去曾发生过登革热疫情,每年8月至10月都会发生此类疫情,因为季节性条件有利,其病媒会大量繁殖。登革热流行病真的像一场噩梦,及时采取措施对付罪魁祸首蚊子是避免这些流行病的唯一途径。国家卫生服务、法规和协调部现场流行病学和疾病监测司发布了登革热预防和控制建议,及时发布了2019年指南9.3,6,7早期识别和良好的临床管理对降低其死亡率很重要。3开伯尔-普赫通赫瓦省的D.I.Khan的一项研究表明,有关登革热的知识很低,需要利用大众媒体的所有信息来源对公众进行登革热及其预防的教育,印刷品和电子产品。3,8联邦政府和省政府的卫生部门都在不遗余力地提高公众意识。学术界也有动力对这一主题进行研究和写作,以进一步提高知识,使我们在群众的实践中看到预防措施。

DENGUE EPIDEMIC APPREHENDED IN PAKISTAN: KNOWLEDGE AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES CAN AVERT IT
Dengue fever (DF) is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Dengue virus (DENV) has four subtypes or serotypes i.e. DENV-1, DEVNV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4.1,2 The incubation period is 3 to 14 days. Infection with one subtype confers life-long immunity to that type only. However, infection to other serotype in future may result in more severe disease with increased chances of serious complications.1 The disease affects some 50-100 million people worldwide every year. Out of whom about 1-2% patients develop its serious complications like dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), resulting in about 22,000 deaths per year. Dengue fever (DF) is endemic in all the regions of Pakistan and 3204 confirmed cases of dengue fever were reported during 2018.3-5 Pakistan has seen dengue epidemics in the past and such epidemics are always apprehended from August to October every year because of favourable seasonal conditions for its vector to flourish. Dengue epidemics are really like a nightmare and timely measures against the culprit mosquitoes is the only way to avoid these epidemics. The Field Epidemiology & Disease Surveillance Division of Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations & Coordination has issued an advisory for the prevention and control of Dengue fever, has timely issued the guidelines for the year 2019.3,6,7 Early identification and good clinical management are important to reduce its mortality.3 A study from D.I.Khan of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province has shown that knowledge regarding the DF is low and the public needs to be educated about dengue disease and its prevention utilizing all the sources of information employing mass media, print as well as electronic.3,8 The health departments of both the Federal and Provincial Governments are leaving no stone unturned to increase the public awareness. The academia is also motivated to have research and write on this topic to further enhance the knowledge so that we see the preventive efforts in the practice among the masses.
