Vector- living organism that transmits an infectious agent from an infected animal to a human or another animal a) Invertebrate type : Arthropod vector fall into 7 categories. (1) Diptera - flies and mosquitoes (2) Siphonaptera - fleas (3) Orthoptera - cockroaches (4) Anoplura - sucking lice (5) Hemiptera - bugs, including kissing bugs (6) Acarina - ticks and mites (7) Copepoda - cyclops b) Vertebrate type — Mice, rodents, bats.
NVBDCP NVBDCP
AES Any person of any age who develops acute onset of fever & change in mental status (confusion, disorientation, coma, inability to talk, new onset seizure- excluding simple febrile seizure). Cause- virus, bacteria, fungus, parasites, spirochetes, chemical/ toxins. Group of diseases having similar S/S. JE Common cause of AES. A PATIENT WILL COME WITH S/S OF AES NOT JE.
EPIDEMIOLOGY, PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS 7
INTRODUCTION 8 JE is a zoonotic disease transmitted by mosquito Case-fatality rate among those with encephalitis can be as high as 30% 24 countries in the WHO South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions have endemic JEV transmission There is no cure for the disease
History of JE 1870-Japan “Summer Encephalitis” epidemic 1924-Great epidemic in Japan ,case fatality 62% 1940 to 1954-Epidemic in China,Korea,India 1983-Immunization in human first started in Korea 2006 –JE vaccine introduced after campaign in endemic districts in India
DISTRIBUTION OF JE IN INDIA 10 ICMR
The disease is endemic in 21 states. Assam, Bihar, Haryana. Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu report out-breaks every year and contribute about 80 per cent of cases and deaths
ASSAM HISTORY 1963-Serological evidence 1976- First epidemic in Upper Assam 1978- Virus isolation from Brain tissue at AMCH 1978, 1982, 1986 -Greater magnitude epidemic. Most affected districts are Dibrugarh, Dhemaji , Lakhimpur, Sivasagar , Jorhat, Golaghat , Tinsukia & Sonitpur . 12

EPIDEMIOLOGY of Japanese Encephalitis
Agent Family Flaviviridae Genus Flavivirus (group B Arbovirus) Genomes SS RNA Serotypes Nakayama, Beijing Temperature - Destroyed by heating for 30min above 56 degree. Chemical/Disinfectants- Inactivated by common detergents, 70% ethanol, 3-8% formaldehyde, 2% glutaraldehyde, 1% sodium hypochlorite. Sensitive to UV light and gamma irradiation. 16
Hosts 17 Human host- Bimodal age distribution Children & young adults (<15years)- 85% Elderly (>60years)- 10% 1 clinical case suggests 300-1000 infections Natural host Amplifier host Dead end host Ergot, heron
Enviroment Temperate- Late summer/early autumn Tropical- Year round Endemic in temperate & tropical regions of Asia. Epidemics- Paddy season (monsoon & post monsoon) Primarily rural areas. It has spread to new areas d/t agricultural development supported by irrigation programme 18
Human to hu man transmission has not so far been recorded Man is an incidental dead-end host Cattle and buffaloes may also be infected with the JE virus; although they may not be natural hosts of JE virus, they act as " mosquito attractants” 9-12 days incubation period, they can transmit the virus to other hosts
CLINICAL FEATURES 23
PRODROMAL STAGE ACUTE ENCEPHALITIS CONVALESCENCE & SEQUELAE IP- 5-15 days Lasts- 1-6 days Nonspecific –acute fever headache malaise No CNS S/S. Fever 38 - 40.7 C Headache, muscular rigidity, seizure, nuchal rigidity. Altered sensorium, Coma. Focal CNS signs. Extra pyramidal signs ( dystonia, choreoathetosis and coarse tremors). Temp & ESR touch normal 25% develop motor and intellectual deficit. Neuropsychiatric sequel 30-50%. Case fatality rate 20-40% 24 CLINICAL FEATURES
LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS 25
LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS 26 TENTATIVE Antibody detection Heamagglutination Inhibition Test (HI), Compliment Fixation Test (CF), Enzyme Linked Immuno- Sorbant Assay (ELISA) for IgG (paired) and IgM (MAC) antibodies, etc. ELISA (Serum, CSF) Antigen Detection RPHA, IFA, Immunoperoxidase etc. Genome Detection RTPCR DEFINITIVE Virus isolation CSF, Brain IgM ELISA is the method of choice provided samples are collected 3-5(within 7 days) days after the infection
27
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS 29 Patient with fever, altered sensorium lasting more than 6 hours, no skin rash and other known causes of encephalitis excluded *Fever with rash excludes JE *AES with symmetrical signs & fever likely to be Cerebral Malaria
CASE DEFINITIONS
Field based management (case definition) 31 Suspected case Acute fever of 5-7 days + altered mental status + new seizure (except febrile) Probable case Suspected case in geographical/ temporal proximity of a confirmed case Confirmed case Suspected case with anyone- JE specific IgM 4 fold raised IgG Isolation of virus/ag/ nucleic acid AES d/t other agent Suspected case in which diagnostic test is performed and aetiological agent other than AES/JE is identified AES d/t unknown agent Suspected case in which NO diagnostic test is performed/ no aetiological agent is identified/ test results are indeterminate
MANAGEMENT OF CASES 32
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT TILL NOW……… Viral infection Fever + Altered sensorium HOW DO WE START MANAGEMENT- History Clinical examination (General & Systemic)
MANAGEMENT OF CASES Symptomatic and supportive Refer to nearest FRU if anyone develops- Lethargy, Convulsions, Unconsciousness Refer to higher center directly if develops- Shock, Needs ventilator, Unmanageable cyanosis. Suspected case referred should be confirmed with 2 diagnostic test- 1. RT-PCR 2. Detection of- virus ag/ genome. 34
Management A, B, C, D Referral note should include history and clinal examination findings….WHY
The treatment of the patients may require as follow:- 1.) Management of Airways and Breathing . 2.) Management of Circulation. 3.) Control of Convulsion and Intracranial pressure 4.) Control of Temperature 5.) Fluid and Electrolytes and Calories/ Nutrition 6.) General management 7.) Specific treatment of any for treatable cause 8.) Investigations, Sample Collection & Transportation 9.) Reporting of a case 10.) Rehabilitation.
PREVENTION & CONTROL
PREVENTION & CONTROL 42 LEVELS OF PREVENTION ACTIVITES Primordial Primary IEC, vector control, Vaccination Secondary Diagnosis & Management of cases Tertiary Rehabilitation
PRIMARY LEVEL 43
Vector Control Fogging During containment of JE outbreak Anti- larval operations Environmental measures (neem as fertilizer in fields, Alternate drying & wetting water management) Larvivorous fish Gambusia affinis ,Guppy Bio larvicides Bacillus thuringiensis, Israelensis , B sphaericus 44
Fogging Affected village- Aerial/ground fogging with ULV insecticides (Malathion, Pyrethrum). Uninfected village- Falling within 2-3km radius of infected village. Pre requisites of fogging- Done in outdoor situations. Downwind to upwind situation. Direct to all resting sites. Medium/dry fog type. 45
Time of fogging- 46 9
Personal protective measures LLITBN- Pyrethroid Curtains Repellants Proper clothing 47
Control of Pig Immunization- Inactivated/ attenuated vaccines. Challenge- difficult to ensure complete coverage due to rapid breeding & limited vaccine effectiveness. Slaughtering of pig Mosquito proof piggeries Segregating pigs 4-5km away from human habitations 48
Vaccination in human 3 types of vaccines- Inactivated brain derived and purified type- Nakayama/ Beijing strain Cell culture derived- Inactivated- Beijing P-3 strain,Kolar 821564XY Cell culture derived- Live attenuated- SA 14-14-2 strain Recommended for- Children, Laboratory staff, Travellers (Visiting >30days) Dose & Schedule- 0.5ml for <3years, 1ml for >3years. 2 dose 1 month apart Booster- 1year, every 3 rd year till 15 years 49
