Abstract

Dengue fever (DF) is emerging a mosquito-borne viral infection that commonly found in tropic and subtropic regions. It is caused by dengue virus, which is transmitted to human through the bites of infected with female Aedes mosquito during in the day time. Symptoms of DF includes high grade fever, headache, joint and muscle Paine, rash, and milled bleeding. dengue virus contains 4 different serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). On April 4, 2023, a dengue fever (DF) outbreak in the Afar region was detected. From April 4 through June 26, 2023, there were over 6,133 cases reported, along with 4 facility Death were recorded. One hundred twenty tow cases (1.99%) were treated and managed in the inpatient department (IPD) and 64 cases had lab confirmation using RT-PCR from 154 suspected cases from the seven districts with the positivity rate was 41.6%. After 22 days had passed since dengue fever was confirmed in the area, a national response was deployed. Data from a line list compiled by the Afar Public Health and Research Institute from private and public health facilities between April 4 and June 26, 2323, was analyzed. Therefore, the objective of this analysis is to outline and emphasize the effect of DF in Afar, Ethiopia. The total attack rate was 11.91 / 1000 population, while the case fatality rate was 0.6 / 1000 population. By 33.13/1000 population, Semera-logiya town had the most impact compared to the other districts and towns. In this study, men were 54.4% more affected than women. Ages 15 to 24 in both sexes were more affected than older age groups by 33.1%, followed by older age groups 25 to 34 by 29.1%. Fever, which was present in 98.4% of cases, was followed by joint pain (91.5%) while bleeding from orifices was (1.6%).
