The Comparison of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever Cases in Indonesia During the COVID-۱۹ Pandemic

Since the emergence of the COVID-۱۹ pandemic at the end of ۲۰۱۹, several problems in the world of health have been focused on handling the COVID-۱۹ disease. Hence, it does not spread further out in the world and does not cause severe consequences. As is known, sufferers of the disease are due to the SAR COV-۲ virus which infects many patients due to COVID-۱۹. This study aims to depict the incidence rate (IR), Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Indonesia, and its comparison of the number of cases during the COVID-۱۹ pandemic.  As many as ۴۵۲۵۳۵ DHF cases from ۲۰۲۱ to ۲۰۲۲ were further analysed in this study. The data were analysed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The T-test was used to compare the number of cases in ۲۰۲۱ and ۲۰۲۲. The number of cities in Indonesia reported the DHF reached the highest during the COVID-۱۹ pandemic and spread in ۴۸۱ urban districts in ۲۰۱۹. The IR in Indonesia in ۲۰۲۱ was considerably higher than in ۲۰۲۲ in the same month. However, this was slightly in contrast to the CFR value in ۲۰۲۲ which has a higher value in ۲۰۲۲ compared with ۲۰۲۱ in the same month. There was a significant comparison between the number of DHF cases in ۲۰۲۱ and ۲۰۲۲ with a p-value <۰.۰۵. Several measures can be taken to mitigate the increase in the incidence rate of DHF during the COVID-۱۹ pandemic and thereafter.
