Alya and her whole family receives free medical services from KlinikIkhwan , as her father’s

work place is a panel under the clinic. KlinikIkhwan is located .As none of her family

members suffer from any form of chronic illness , they usually only have to visit the clinic

when one of them is down with cough or cold which are the usual complaints.

Alya’s youngest sister ,Shifa , aged 15 months , still requires immunization and for that

purpose , she is brought to KlinikDesa ,Bandar PuncakAlam, FasaDua located less than 10

km from their home.

The nearest functioning clinic is KlinikKesihatan which is located less than 1 kilometer from

their house .

The nearest hospital is Hospital Sungai Buloh which is located 27 kilometers from their home

and takes about 25 minutes to get there by car.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HISTORY AND EFFECT OF ILLNESS ON PATIENT AND

FAMILY

ON THE PATIENT

According to the patient’s mother, ever since she had fever that lasted for 5 days, her food

consumption was reduced and she did not drink a lot of water. Furthermore, she experienced

vomiting and diarrhea which makes her feel exhausted and restless. She did not show any

interest in engaging in physical activities and talked very less because she was tired. Because

Page 44: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

of her illness, she was absent from school for 5 days, but she claims that she is not behind in

all her homework.

ON THE FAMILY

During the period of patient’s illness, both her parents had to take 2 days leave from work to

take care of her at Hospital Sungai Buloh and her other siblings at home. The leave that they

took was from their annual work leave and it does not affect their monthly income.

Because they had a maid working to take care of the house, her needs of her other siblings

were also fulfilled. Patient’s illness and the increasing amount of Dengue Fever occurring in

the neighbourhood, made the family much more aware of the danger this disease, thus they

had taken the first step of precaution to eliminate all possible containers that could hold

stagnant water and made sure to spray the house with mosquito repellent during dusk and

dawn.

Page 45: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

DIAGRAM SHOWS WEB OF CAUSATION OF DENGUE FEVER FOR

As in the diagram, there are 5 possible causes that could lead to Alya getting infected with

dengue virus. The 5 causes are lack of awareness, aedes breeding site, going out during aedes

active period, living in a dengue prone area, and having low immunity.

The main probable reason for her to get infected is by living in a dengue prone area. This is

evidenced by recent and regular fogging done by the Ministry of Health and there was a

banner stated that the housing area is a dengue red zone. During our visit to her housing area,

there was a lot of stagnant water. One of them was in an exposed rubbish bin with no lid on at

Page 46: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

the neighbouring house. Then, there were empty vases and buckets which are able to leave

water residues and thus, leading to aedes breeding site.

Some of the causes are co-related to one another. For example, stagnant water in the pail can

turn into mosquito breeding side and this will lead to dengue fever at the whole area. Lack of

awareness is also one of the main reason the patient get infected. For example, if the patient's

parents and family members have enough knowledge and know how to apply it, they

wouldn’t let her play outside the house during aedes active period.

Furthermore, child of a young age as hers still are having low immunity, predisposes her to

have higher chances in getting infected. Thus, her body couldn't withstand the virus leading

to dengue fever.

Epidemiology

Dengue is vector-borne viral disease that is fast emerging pandemic-prone in many parts of

the world. Dengue has been widely distributed in tropical and subtropical countries,

flourishes in urban and suburban areas and the countryside.

Severe dengue (previously known as dengue haemorrhagic fever) was first recognized in the

1950s during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand. Today the incidence of

dengue has increased by 3-folds and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and death

among children and adults in these regions. By the late 1990s, Dengue was the most

important mosquito-borne disease affecting humans after Malaria, with around 40 million

cases of Dengue Fever. In 2012, was classified as ‘ the most important mosquito- borne viral

disease in the world’ with estimation of 2.5 billion people at risk living in over 100 endemic

countries and up to 50 million infections occurring annually with 500,00 cases of Dengue

hemorrhagic fever and 22,000 deaths mainly among children.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRIAD

Page 47: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

Aedesmosquito act as the vector, human as a host, dengue virus as the agent and the

temperature/ tropical country as the environment factor.

Aedesaegypti mosquito lives in urban habitats and breeds mostly in man-made containers.

Unlike other mosquitoes Ae.aegypti is a day-time feeder; its peak biting periods are early in

the morning and in the evening before dusk. Female Aedesaegypti bites multiple people

during each feeding period. Aedesalbopictus, a secondary dengue vector in Asia,largely due

to the international trade in used tyres (a breeding habitat) and other goods. Aedesalbopictus

is highly adaptive and, therefore, can survive in cooler temperate regions of Europe. Its

spread is due to its tolerance to temperatures below freezing, hibernation, and ability to

shelter in microhabitats. Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus,

and serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. The eggs change into larvae in

2-3 days, and transform into pupae after 4-5 days. Finally turn into adult mosquito after 1-2

days(mosquito life cycle is 8 days). Dengue virus has different serotypes there are DEN-1,

DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. DEN-2 serotype is the most virulent and DEN-4 is rare.

Changes in virulence in some serotypes (DEN-2 and DEN-3) is related to increase occurrence

of dengue hemorrhagic fever. Factors that affect host(human) are individual immunity,

genetic differences and herd immunity. Factors that affect environment are

tropical/subtropical countries has optimal temperature for breeding of mosquito and

ENVIRONMENTHOST

Page 48: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

transmission of virus. Also, rapid urbanization and cleanliness of the environment also

greatly contributed.

Geographical distribution

Geographical expansion of the mosquito has been aided by international commercial trade

particularly in used tyres. Increased air travel and breakdown of vector control measures have

also contributed greatly to the global burden of Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.

The recent trend for Dengue is increasing in Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic,

Malaysia and Singapore. Compared to 2013, Malaysia was the only country of these four

where 2014, was substantially higher compared to same period in 2013.

Page 49: Clinicosocial Case Dengue
Page 50: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

In Malaysia, among all states, the highest incidence is in Selangor which accounts 4,894 cases and 5 deaths in 2014. As compared to previous year 2013, 1,154 cases and 1 death. It

shows marked increase in trend of dengue in most of the states in 2014.

Global burden of dengue

The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically around the world in recent decades. One

recent estimate indicates 390 million dengue infections per year (95% credible interval 284–

528 million),

Page 51: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

In 2010, nearly 2.4 million cases were reported. Although the full global burden of the

disease is uncertain, the initiation of activities to record all dengue cases partly explains the

sharp increase in the number of cases reported in recent years.

Other features of the disease include its epidemiological patterns, including hyper-endemicity

of multiple dengue virus serotypes in many countries and the alarming impact on both human

health and the global and national economies. The geographical areas in which dengue

transmission occurs have expanded in recent years and all four dengue virus serotypes (DEN-

1 to DEN-4) are all now circulating in Asia, Africa and the Americas as compared to 20-30

years ago, in America and Africa region, only two serotypes can be found(DEN-1 and DEN-

2). Studies been conducted to understand the evolutionary relationships.

With over 2.5 billion people, which is over 40% of the world's population now at risk from

dengue it is only right that economic expenditure on the disease would be on a high. More

than 100 countries from the regions of Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, the

South-east Asia and the Western Pacific are mainly affected (tropical countries). In endemic

countries in Asia and the Americas, the burden of dengue is approximately 1,300 disability-

adjusted life years (DALYs) per million population.

The direct economic impact of dengue in the two continents( South East Asia and America),

as reported in a new study carried out by Brandeis University researchers and published in

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, is roughly $2.1 billion each year. Brazil

alone spends 1.2 billion US $ each year in vector control. This has been found to be more

than the loss incurred from other viral diseases such as HPV(most widespread STD) and

Rotavirus (major cause of fatal diarrhea in children throughout the world)

The indirect impact of dengue , According to the estimates of the Brandeis University’s

study group, 60% of the economic damage due to dengue is the result of productivity losses

Page 52: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

that affect households, employers and government and loss in output in industrial and service

sectors due to affected employees inability to attend work. Also, fear inducted by mass media

which keeps tourists away from dengue affected zones. This results in a loss in the tourism

and other departments. These are the indirect costs. Direct costs are the usual medical care

cost. In countries like India and Africa, conducting studies to evaluate effect of dengue on

economy is difficult due to lack of government initiatives in carrying helpful documentation.

Recently the number of reported cases has continued to increase and explosive outbreaks are

occurring. The threat of a possible outbreak of dengue fever now exists in Europe and local

transmission of dengue was reported for the first time in France and Croatia in 2010 and

imported cases were detected in 3 other European countries. In 2012, an outbreak of dengue

on the Madeira islands of Portugal resulted in over 2000 cases and imported cases were

detected in mainland Portugal and 10 other countries in Europe.

In 2014, trends indicate increases in the number of cases in the People's Republic of

China, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Malaysia and Vanuatu, with Dengue Type 3 (DEN 3) affecting

the Pacific Island countries after a lapse of over 10 years. Dengue was also reported in Japan

after a lapse of over 70 years. In 2015 an increase in the number of cases was reported in

Brazil and several neighbouring countries.

Risk Factor of Dengue Fever Globally

- Urbanization in tropical countries that leads to increase in number of construction site

to accommodate the growth.

- Rapid population growth and rural-urban migration.

- Inadequate basic urban infrastructure (eg. unreliable water supply leading

householders to store water in containers close to homes) and increase in volume of

Page 53: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

solid waste, such as discarded plastic containers and other abandoned items which

provide larval habitats in urban areas.

- Improper disposal of tyres which easily accumulate rainwater and act as a breeding

site for mosquitoes

- Increased air travel and breakdown of vector control measures have also contributed

greatly to the global burden of dengue and DHF

Risk Factor of Dengue Fever Related To The Patient

- Patient lives in a suburban area that were known to be a Dengue- prone area with

multiple cases of Dengue Fever reported among her neighbours.

- Patient and her siblings frequently plays outside the house duringAedes mosquitoes

active period.

- Patient’s house is situated nearby to a construction site that is prone to act as a

mosquito breeding site.

- The general cleanliness of the neighbourhood was subpar with presence of multiple

scattered water storage containers, improper placement and closure of bins and plant

pots that contain stagnant water. These, too, can act as mosquitoes breeding sites.

Page 54: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

According to the mother, whenever fogging was done to terminate mosquitoes, it was

done only at the perimeter of the house and neighbourhood but not inside the house.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In completing our clinicosocial case study, it is made possible through the help and support

form our beloved and respected people, in which we always look up to in our lives. In this

very special occasion, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Dr.

Maher, Head of Community Medicine unit, International Medical School, Management and

Science University, for giving us a guideline for our case throughout numerous consultation

and to Dr. Jasmeet Singh, Director of Hospital Kuala KubuBaru and his staffs for allowing us

to approach patients in the ward. Thank you to both doctors for giving us this golden

opportunity to learn more about public health sector in Malaysia.We would like to expand

our gratitude to our patient Alya and her family to give us good cooperation during clerking,

with warmest welcome for us to visit their house. Therefore, helping us in completing our

task successfully. We also would like to thank our hardworking team members and previous

Page 55: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

group members that lend a helping hand to make comment suggestions which gave us

inspiration to improve our case write up and not to forget to all those who have directly and

indirectly guided us in writing this clinicosocial case study.

CONCLUSION

In a nutshell, we can conclude that Alya’s medical condition is due to the environmental

factors which is lack of awareness and negligence attitude in the community towards

cleanliness that encourage development of breeding sites and spreading of disease affecting

members of the family and community. Thus, proper preventive measures done at various

levels from family up to national level should be implemented in order to eradicate dengue

disease by breaking the chain of breeding cycle.

ABSTRACT

The clinico-social case study was done to learn the people living of people correlation with

health issues. This particular case was taken from a district Hospital which is Hospital Kuala

KubuBahru and the case was further investigated in patient’s house which was located in

PuncakAlam, Selangor. Alya is a 7 years old female girl has been diagnosed with dengue

fever for 5 days, lost of appetite, and loose stool with warning signs (persistent vomiting,

arthralgia and myalgia and epigastric pain) and developed rash on the fifth days upon

admisssion. On investigation, her platelet was decreased to 140 from the normal range. Her

physical examination was done with pulse rate and respiratory rate rise up to 158 beat per

minute and 36 breaths per minute. She lives in dengue endemic area with no history of

travelling. Dengue fever can be prevented by 3 stages which are primary, secondary and

tertiary levels that can be done at various level from patient to globally.

Page 56: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

RECOMMENDATIONS

There are few recommendation suggested to improvise medical condition of Alya. It includes

the three stages of prevention that are primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary prevention

starts with eliminating the breeding sources and control of infectant mosquitoes. The child

should be taught to wear long pants, long sleeves to prevent mosquito bites and limiting

exposures by staying indoors for two hours after sunrise and before sunset. By using repellent

spray that contain DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), applyliquids, creams, lotions or

sticks to exposed skin, and netting can also help prevent mosquito bites. The community

should play their role by checking and removing stagnant water in the pots, containers, pails

and cans outdoor. They also should check the flow of water drainage, change water in flower

vases, wash root of flowers, clear fallen leaves, plastic, polystyreneeveryday. Clean and scrub

the inner sides of the vases thoroughly to remove the mosquito eggs and add granular

insecticide into vases regularly. The community should do their part by taking part in

"Gotong-Royong" to keep their neighbourhood clean by eliminating the breeding source so

that their neighbourhood free from dengue. The fogging part and house inspection should be

undertaken by the local authorities. Besides that, the government should enact the laws

concerning to the punishment regulations and to check performance of each country.

Campaign, health education, role of mass media are vital in creating awareness about the

disease.

Next is by implementing the secondary prevention. It is mainly to construct monitoring

number of cases of the disease and to stop the local dengue fever. The doctors and the related

Page 57: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

personnel who discover suspected cases, should report within 24 hours.After receiving report

of the cases of disease, the authority shall investigate the nearby area of the household and

possible epidemic area to proceed to investigation of density of the larva and grown

mosquitoes. It is also important in upgrading the effectiveness of lab diagnosis and to

upgrade the ability in inspection of dengue hemorrhagic as the proper measure to guard

against the epidemic.

The target of tertiary prevention is to reduce the death rate of dengue hemorrhagic fever. This

can be done by carry out compulsory education on dengue hemorrhagic fever for medical

personnel on a continuous basis and improve main hospitals in treating fatal dengue

hemorrhagic fever in any emergency cases.

Globally, there should be continuous international cooperation and medical conference done

in order to exchange dengue fever prevention experiences, share information together, to

promote prevention/medical treatment more internationally and to promote knowledges of

the specialists. Integrated surveillance, outbreak preparation and future vaccine

implementation can help to reduce burden of dengue.

As we all know, prevention is better than cure. Therefore, everyone must play their part

indeed to prevent dengue from spreading and killing innocent people.

DISCUSSION

AlyaMaisarah is a 7 years old female girl has been diagnosed with dengue fever for 5 days,

lost of appetite, and loose stool with warning signs (persistent vomiting, arthralgia and

myalgia and epigastric pain) and developed rash on the fifth days upon admission. On

investigation, her platelet was decreased to 140 from the normal range. Her physical

examination was done with pulse rate and respiratory rate rise up to 158 beat per minute and

36 breaths per minute. She lives in dengue endemic area with no history of travelling.

Dengue fever is a vector-borne disease caused by infection by dengue virus transmitted by

female mosquito mainly of species Aedesaegypti and Aedesalbopictus. Dengue virus has

different serotypes there are DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. Recovery from infection

by one provides lifelong immunity against that particular serotype. Infected humans are the

main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected

mosquitoes. It can be classified by dengue (with warning sign and no warning sign) and

severe dengue (severe shock +/-: respiratory distress, severe hemorrhage and organ failure)

The incubation period is 4-10 days. Dengue has three phases that are febril phase, critical

phase and recovery phase. The Aedesaegypti mosquito lives in urban habitats and breeds

mostly in man-made containers. Unlike other mosquitoes Ae.aegypti is a day-time feeder; its

peak biting periods are early in the morning and in the evening before dusk. Female

Aedesaegyptibites multiple people during each feeding period. Aedesalbopictus, a secondary

dengue vector in Asia,largely due to the international trade in used tyres (a breeding habitat)

Page 59: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

and other goods. Aedesalbopictus is highly adaptive and, therefore, can survive in cooler

temperate regions of Europe. Its spread is due to its tolerance to temperatures below freezing,

hibernation, and ability to shelter in microhabitats. Aedesmosquito act as the vector, human

as a host, dengue virus as the agent and the temperature/ tropical country as the environment

factor.

Dengue should be suspected when a sudden and continuous high fever (40°C) is

accompanied by 2 of the following symptoms: severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle

and joint pains, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands or rash. Symptoms usually last for 2–7

days, after an incubation period of 4–10 days after the bite from an infected mosquito.Severe

dengue is a potentially deadly complication due to plasma leaking, fluid accumulation,

respiratory distress, severe bleeding, or organ impairment. After 3–7 days warning sign will

occur, the first symptoms in conjunction with a decrease in temperature (below 38°C) and

include: severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding gums, fatigue,

restlessness and blood in vomit. The next 24–48 hours of the critical stage can be lethal;

proper medical care is needed to avoid complications and risk of death.

One recent estimate indicates 390 million dengue infections per year (95% credible interval

284–528 million), of which 96 million (67–136 million) manifest clinically (with any severity

of disease).(WHO, 2013). Another study, of the prevalence of dengue, estimates that 2.5

billion people, in 100 countries, are at risk of infection with dengue viruses.(WHO, 2012).

A total of 108,698 dengue cases in Malaysia were reported which is equivalent to IR of 361.1

cases in 100,000 populations in that year.

Page 60: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

Patient living in the endemic area which prone to get the disease. During the visit, we have

noticed that there was lack of awareness and negligence attitude among society. Her elder

sister and her friends at school having this disease at the same time due to communicable

disease. Patient’s neighbours does not practice proper hygiene where there are abandon pots

and water containers. There is one death case 200 meter radius from patient’s house. Lack of

awareness is also one of the main reason the patient get infected because the parents let their

child play outside during aedes active period.However, the patient’s house is maintained

clean because she practice proper preventive measure where she use biological control

(guppy fish) in the aquarium and change the water every week in the aquarium. There are

also no abandon water containers and pots indoor and outdoor. They also use mosquito

repellent sprays. Residence association has conducted ‘gotong-royong’ during this outbreak

in the area. Law reinforcement in the area where fine is charged and fogging was done soon

after Alya discharged from the hospital.

She was admitted for 3 days and was treated with fluids, paracetamol and bed rest and she

was advised to drink a lot of water and fruits upon discharged.

The global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades and about half of

the world's population is now at risk. So, in order to prevent this disease to keep on rising in

the future, a few preventive measure must be taken at various level. Family and society

should cultivate awareness and daily habit about cleanliness of the neighbourhood thus

prevent infection. While local authority should educate the society about dengue by doing

campaigns and through mass media. Vector control and law reinforcement should be

implemented continuously. Cases must be notified within 24 hours.Globally, there should be

continuous international cooperation and medical conference done in order to exchange

Page 61: Clinicosocial Case Dengue

dengue fever prevention experiences, share information together, to promote

prevention/medical treatment more internationally and to promote knowledges of the

specialists.
