Synopsis: |
This is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, clinical management, epidemiological surveillance, prevention and control of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever. Although guidelines and advice are universally relevant, the manual is specifically designed for use in South-East Asian countries, where dengue fever remains a major public health concern. Recommendations and advice respond to research demonstrating that different geographic areas show a variable response to infection, have different epidemiological patterns and require different approaches to control. The book also responds to past failures to control dengue in these countries, citing almost exclusive concentration on space spraying of adult mosquitoes as one of the most important causes. With these problems in mind, the book places major emphasis on measures that can make communities responsible for vector control in the domestic environment as the best way to secure sustained improvements in prevention and control. |
