Boyolali, Chikungunya, OutbreakAbstract
In February 2024, the Boyolali District Health Office received notification of a chikungunya outbreak in the Boyolali district. This study aims to provide an overview of the epidemiological analysis of chikungunya outbreaks in Boyolali District in 2024. This study uses a descriptive method based on the results of the Epidemiological Investigation to understand the dynamics of disease spread and control efforts. Chikungunya outbreak in Winong Village, Boyolali Subdistrict, from 1 February 2024 to 5 March 2024 recorded 43 cases, distributed in RT 2/RW 17 with 28 cases (65.1%) and RT 3/RW 16 with 15 cases (34.9%). Based on demographic data, it was found that females were more likely to be affected (53.5%), with an age group of 56-65 years (20.9%). Symptoms experienced were joint pain (100%) accompanied by muscle pain (95.4%), headache (95.4%), fever (93.0%), nausea (83.7%), vomiting (67.4%), enlarged lymph nodes (51.2%), rash (16.3%), chills (16.3%), itching in the rash (11.6%), and conjunctival redness (4.7%). A total of 9 cases (20.9%) that underwent Rapid Diagnostic Test showed positive results. Of the cases found, only 1 case (2.3%) had been treated at Primary Health Center. The larvae-free rate in Winong Village is still below 95%, and there are 28 houses (65.1%) among the sick found mosquito larvae. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the 3M Plus program (Menguras, Menutup, Mendaur ulang / Draining, Covering, and Recycling used goods that have the potential to become breeding grounds for mosquitoes), mosquito larvae-eating fish, larvicides in water reservoirs, and fogging. An integrated approach to chikungunya management is important, including increased public awareness and continued implementation of preventive measures to increase the larvae-free rate and reduce the risk of future outbreaks.
