Abstract

Majene province is an endemic area of dengue haemorrhagic fever. Several factors played a role in changes of dengue haemorrhagic fever cases were rainfall, population density and vector density of dengue haemorrhagic fever in term of larva-free numbers. This study aimed to describe the dengue haemorrhagic fever patients distribution in Majene district, West Sulawesi province. The study had been used observational with descriptive design. The study population was all positive dengue haemorrhagic fever patients recorded in Maejn Health Office report in 2016. The study samples were 199 positive patients. The data was analysed with SPSS program and ArcGis. The result indicated that spatial trend pattern in dengue haemorrhagic fever cases tend to concentrate in one area such as coastal areas especially urban areas which had high rainfall of 100–200 mm. In area with high rainfall also had very dense population that contributed transmission rapid spread. Besides, larvae free number did not meet the requirement issued by Ministry of Health which was> 95%. The dengue haemorrhagic fever program should be prioritized in areas with high rainfall and dense population. In additions, the larvae free program achievement will be further enhanced by increase budget and improved as cross program.
