BENGKULU - The Health Office (Dinkes) of Mukomuko Regency, Bengkulu, noted that the number of residents affected by dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in 2022 increased to 30 people.

"In October 2022 there were two more people with dengue fever, bringing the number of residents suffering from dengue fever to 30 people," said the administrator of the dengue program at the Mukomuko District Health Office, Bara Lendra, in his statement, quoted from Antara, Friday, November 11.

He said this was related to the number of local residents suffering from dengue disease from January to October 2022.

Two people who suffered from dengue disease in October this year were spread across two areas, namely in Teramang Jaya District and Lubuk Sanai Village, XIV Koto District.

Of the 30 local residents who suffered from dengue fever, none of the patients were reported to have died.

"Last year, there were people with dengue fever who died. This year there have been no reports of residents dying from this disease," he said.

Bara explained, of the 30 residents who tested positive for dengue fever during 2022. The most patients were in May as many as six people, in July four people, June three people, and April three people, September three people, and October two people.

Meanwhile, the number of residents who were positive for dengue fever from January to March 2022 was one case each.

The local Health Office has made various efforts such as fogging or absorption at locations where cases were found, including conducting epidemiological (PE) investigations, and larvae.

However, of the 30 dengue cases, he said, only eight locations were absorpted due to the lack of budget to carry out these activities.

"We are doing fogging in the eight locations in collaboration with the puskesmas and the village government," he said.

In addition, through the Puskesmas, we still urge the sub-district, village head, and village heads to the RT and the entire community to carry out activities to prevent the spread of this disease.

He advised residents, especially those found in dengue cases, to eradicate mosquito nests (PSN) to prevent the spread of dengue disease at this time.
