reported in 2006 when around 35 cases occurred.
• In 2016, 5769 persons with symptoms consistent with
dengue disease visited various hospitals and clinics in
Nepal. Among those, 1473 were dengue-positive
based on laboratory confirmation representing a
marked increase compared to previous years.
• The highest number of cases was in Chitwan district
followed by other southern Nepal districts Jhapa,
Rupandehi and Makwanpur; however clinical dengue
cases were reported over a wide geographic area, in
32 of Nepal’s 75 total districts.

sharp increase in both the number of mosquitos and
number of dengue disease cases during and soon after the
monsoon season of June–September.

In total, 560 people have been diagnosed with
dengue in Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari
districts so far this year. As many as 368
people have been diagnosed with the mosquito

• This mosquito is a tropical and subtropical species
widely distributed around the world, mostly between
latitudes 35º N and 35º S.
• Most favourable is 25º C ± 5º C.
• Also, because of lower temperatures,
Ae. Aegypti is relatively uncommon above 1000 metres.

• Evidence of increased vascular permeability (Plasma leakage)
Presence of any one of following confirms plasma leakage
• Hct rises ≥ 20%
• Hct declines by ≥ 20% of the baseline Hct after volume replacement
• Pleural Effusion/Ascites
• Hypoproteinemia or Hypoalbuminemia
14. DENGUE SHOCK SYNDROME
