“…Las manifestaciones menos frecuentes o atípicas del dengue pueden ocasionar confusión o retraso en el diagnóstico debido al desconocimiento de la frecuencia con que ciertos síntomas pueden estar presentes. Habitualmente los SAGI no son consideradas como «típicos» de fiebre dengue, fiebre dengue hemorrágico o síndrome de shock por dengue, sin embargo, múltiples series han documentado síntomas gastrointestinales o alteraciones en las pruebas hepáticas en cerca del 80% de los casos de dengue 13,14 .…”

“…Dengue was first reported in Singapore in the early 1960 [3]. Since 1969, with the implementation of vector control and surveillance, public health education and law enforcement, there has been a general decline in disease incidence, until in 1990 when dengue began to surge again [4].…”

Assessing changes in knowledge, attitude and practices on dengue diagnosis and management among primary care physicians after the largest dengue epidemic in Singapore

Background: Dengue results in high morbidity and mortality globally. The knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of dengue management, including diagnosis, among primary care physicians (PCPs) are important to reduce dengue transmission and burden. However, there is a lack of understanding on the impact of dengue epidemic on dengue management. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the changes in KAP on dengue management among PCPs before and after the largest dengue epidemic in 2013 in Singapore.

“…It was first reported in Singapore in the early 1960s (11), but was curbed through effective vector surveillance and control programmes, public education and law enforcement since 1970s. Dengue re-emerged in the 1990s with increasing incidence rate though overall house index was less than 2% (12).…”

IntroductionDengue is currently a major public health burden in Asia Pacific Region. This study aims to establish an association between dengue incidence, mean temperature and precipitation, and further discuss how weather predictors influence the increase in intensity and magnitude of dengue in Singapore during the period 2000–2007.Materials and methodsWeekly dengue incidence data, daily mean temperature and precipitation and the midyear population data in Singapore during 2000–2007 were retrieved and analysed. We employed a time series Poisson regression model including time factors such as time trends, lagged terms of weather predictors, considered autocorrelation, and accounted for changes in population size by offsetting.ResultsThe weekly mean temperature and cumulative precipitation were statistically significant related to the increases of dengue incidence in Singapore. Our findings showed that dengue incidence increased linearly at time lag of 5–16 and 5–20 weeks succeeding elevated temperature and precipitation, respectively. However, negative association occurred at lag week 17–20 with low weekly mean temperature as well as lag week 1–4 and 17–20 with low cumulative precipitation.DiscussionAs Singapore experienced higher weekly mean temperature and cumulative precipitation in the years 2004–2007, our results signified hazardous impacts of climate factors on the increase in intensity and magnitude of dengue cases. The ongoing global climate change might potentially increase the burden of dengue fever infection in near future.
