Residents Urged to Be Aware of Dengue and Apply PSN 3M Plus

Cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Jakarta have increased, despite they are still below the number of cases in 2023.

We keep monitoring developments in dengue cases in Jakarta

Jakarta Health Agency (Dinkes) Head, Ani Ruspitawati said that as of February 19 2024, there had been 627 cases recorded with Jakarta's IR (Index Ratio) of 5.57/100,000 population.

"Based on weekly case data trends for 2024, there has been an increase in cases compared to the first week of January. Currently, entering week 9, case data shows a sharp increase starting in week 5, namely at the beginning of February. We urge residents to be alert and implement PSN (Mosquito Nest Eradication) 3M (Draining, Covering, Recycling) Plus (other activities that prevent the breeding and bites of the Aedes aegypti mosquito)," she expressed in the Jakarta Provincial Government's press release, Thursday (2/29).

Further, data on the distribution of dengue fever cases in Jakarta, such as Central Jakarta (34 cases), North Jakarta (74 cases), West Jakarta (208 cases), South Jakarta (145 cases), East Jakarta (161 cases), and Seribu Islands (5 cases).

"We keep monitoring developments in dengue cases in Jakarta. Thus far, no deaths have been recorded in this case," she explained.

She said the symptoms felt by sufferers when infected with dengue fever are characterized by fever lasting 2-7 days accompanied by bleeding manifestations, decreased platelets (thrombocytopenia), hemaconcentration, which is characterized by plasma leakage (increased hematocrit, asthesis, pleural effusion, hypoalbuminemia), as well as several symptoms and others, such as headaches, muscle and bone pain, skin rashes or pain behind the eyeballs.

"Not everyone infected with the dengue virus will show severe dengue manifestations. There are those who only have a mild fever that will get better on its own or there are even those who have no symptoms at all (asymptomatic). Others suffer from dengue fever alone, which does not cause plasma leakage and results in death," she explained.

She added high humidity and increased rainfall have the potential to increase the vector that transmits dengue fever, namely aedes aegypti mosquito. Thus, there is a need for massive efforts to control the dengue vector by involving the participation of all aspects of society in seven settings, namely residential areas, offices, educational institutions, public places, food processing facilities, health service facilities, and sports facilities.

She had also instructed all health service facilities in Jakarta to hold early detection and management of dengue cases according to standards, as well as preparing the availability of treatment rooms and logistics for patient care.

"All health facilities in Jakarta are ready to serve the community if they are infected with dengue fever," she added.

The DHF Vector Control program is implemented by:

a. Intensify PSN 3M Plus

b. Intensify monitoring of larvae by wiggler hunters (jumantik) by pushing the monitoring frequency to twice a week

c. Push the role of little jumantik/school jumantik in PSN activities, both at school and where they live

d. Break the chain of transmission by fogging which focuses on dengue cases with positive epidemiological investigation (PE) results

e. Push cross-sectoral cooperation, especially building managers in seven settings (residential areas, offices, educational institutions, public places, food processing facilities, health service facilities, and sports facilities)

"We urge people to play an active role in the 1 Rumah 1 Jumantik Movement (G1R1J) and implement PSN 3M Plus in their respective homes at least once a week. Some things you can also do are planting plants that mosquitoes don't like (lavender, lemongrass, lime and others), ensuring adequate ventilation and lighting in the room, avoiding the habit of hanging clothes, and using anti-mosquito lotion which can prevent mosquito bites," she uttered.
