DEWS Sentinel Sites:

Figure-1(Map) shows the

distribution of DEWS sentinel

sites already established in the

relevant regions/provinces by

February 21, 2014. Table-2 shows

the SS distribution by type of

health facility. Data on 15 DEWS

target diseases are being collected

from these sentinel sites (SS). The

symbols on the map show the

number of sentinel sites in each

region/province, and do not

indicate the GPS of the SS

locations.

DEWS Data in Epidemiological Week-7 of 2014: Out of a total of 319,196 clients recorded in week-7

of 2014, 24.8% (79,003) of consultations were

reported due to Cough and Cold and 5.8% (18,365)

of consultations was reported due to Pneumonia. In

the same reporting period, 5.1% or 16,007 vents

were reported due to diarrheal illnesses (3.4% due

to Acute Watery Diarrhea, 1.4% due to Bloody

Diarrhea and 0.3% due to Acute Watery Diarrhea

with Dehydration). In comparison with the previous

week (W6 of 2014) the percentage of ARI disease

has decreased by 5.1% to 30.6%, and the

percentage of Acute Diarrheal Disease has

increased by 0.4% to 5.1%. These variations could

be due to changes in temperature /weather during

the reporting week. Figure-2 (right) shows the percentages of DEWS target diseases by gender in week-7 of 2014.

Percentages of ARI & Diarrheal Diseases by Epidemiological Weeks (trend from W24 of 2013 to W7 of 2014):

Among the DEWS target diseases, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) and Acute Diarrheal Diseases (ADD) are the

leading causes of morbidity and mortality, having the highest frequency of consultations. The following line-chart shows

the trend of ADD and ARI from week-24 of 2013 to week-7 of 2014. In week-24 of 2013, the ARI and ADD curves

crossed each other, as ARI started decreasing and ADD changed its course to increase. By the end of the summer season

in 2013, these curves crossed one another again in week-35 and from that time to week-7 of 2014; the percentages of ARI

were increasing, while the percentages of ADD were decreasing, it is expected that these courses will continue till end of

winter season. Comparing this week data with previous week the percentage of ARI decreased by 5.1% to 30.6%, while

the percentage of ADD increased by 0.4% to 5.1% (Fig-7).

Mortality: Among DEWS target diseases Pneumonia, Diarrheal Diseases and Meningitis/Severely Ill Children (SIC) are

main causes of mortality which generally amount to more than 95% of total deaths of surveillance target

diseases. Usually deaths due to diarrheal diseases increase during the summer season, while the number of

deaths due to Pneumonia increases during the cold period/Winter Season. In this week out of 93 (56 male, 37

female) deaths reported from all regions, 75 deaths (47 male, 28 female) were caused by Pneumonia, 4 deaths

(2 male, 2 female) were caused by diarrheal diseases and 14 deaths (7 male, 7 female) were caused by

Meningitis/Severely Ill Children. (Table-6)

Recommendations:

High number of deaths due to Pneumonia and Meningitis/SIC can be analyzed/discussed at provincial level

among stakeholders to find out the gaps results the high morbidity and mortality, especially in North, Central East

and East regions.

High incidence of Pneumonia overall up to 5.8% and 12.1% in the age group of less than five years should be

analyzed and stakeholders should ensure the adequate amount of medicine for the treatment of the cases.

The high number of Meningitis in North, high number of Meningitis and Acute Viral Hepatitis cases in Central

East, high number of Measles cases in South and North should be analyzed at peripheral level.

The increase in the outbreaks of Measles in South East region is to be given serious consideration at the provincial

level coordinating agencies.

DEWS focal points should coordinate AFP cases with the provincial AFP surveillance focal point.
