Palembang, Sonora.ID – Yudi Setiawan, Head of Disease Prevention & Control at the Palembang City Health Office to Sonora FM Palembang (15/06/2022) said that the case DBD there is an increase but not too significant. The total number of cases in 2022 is 387 cases.
“Now entering the transition, there is an increasing trend” dengue cases. Increase vigilance, do PSN (nest eradication mosquito),” he said.
He added that the denser the population, the higher the dengue cases. The flying distance of mosquitoes is 100 to 200 meters, the effect of population density is quite large.
“The high case is IT2, IB1 is in the middle. The denser the higher the dengue cases. On the outskirts, such as gandus, low population density, dengue cases are also low,” he said.
DHF mostly affects children aged 5-14 years, so schools must be clean, not just the house.
Teachers can promote eradication of mosquito nests in schools.
The puskesmas officers appoint a larva monitoring team at the school, they will monitor the mosquito larvae and report to the school principal to jointly carry out PSN.
Dengue virus causes fever, reddish spots, if the fever does not go down for up to two days, go to the hospital for diagnostics.
Advanced DHF is DSS (dengue shock syndrome) in which patients come already in a coma, especially infants and toddlers.
“Fogging is the last resort. The main thing is that PSN is done once a week. If there are no mosquito larvae, then we are free of dengue fever,” he concluded.
