7 Focus on: AWD in Sindh Distribution of Wild Polio Virus cases Pakistan 21 and 211 Year 21: The total number of polio cases reported in 21 is 144 including 12 type 1 cases and 24 type 3 from 4 infected districts/towns/ agencies. Year 211: The total number of polio cases confirmed by the laboratory is 1 (99=type 1, and 1=type3) till date from 37 districts. Epidemiological Bulletin: DEWS, Pakistan, Week no. 39 (23 to 29 September, 211) Since the floods, DEWS teams have been vigilantly monitoring the disease pattern and rigorously following all the alerts and outbreaks in the flood affected districts of Sindh. Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) has been one of the special concerns in the flood affected population. From August 12 to September 29, 211, a total of 223 alerts of AWD have been responded. Fifty eight (8) outbreaks have identified and controlled. 172 stool sample collected and transported for Laboratory investigation, V. C confirmed in 37 samples; 786 Acute Watery Diarrhoea cases and 8 deaths due to diarrhea (in all groups) have been reported in the flood affected population. Diarrheal diseases especially Cholera is still a big threat in the flood affected areas. The DEWS teams in collaboration with the DoH and health cluster partners, monitoring the diarrheal diseases in the affected districts. Some key facts about Cholera: Cholera is an extremely virulent disease. It affects both children and adults and can kill within hours. The short incubation period of two hours to five days, enhances the potentially explosive pattern of outbreaks. Cholera is caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. About 7% of people infected with V. cholerae do not develop any symptoms, although the bacteria are present in their faeces for 7 14 days after infection and are shed back into the environment, potentially infecting other people. Cholera transmission is closely linked to inadequate environmental management where basic infrastructure is not available. As a consequence of a disaster water and sanitation systems disrupt, populations displaced to inadequate and overcrowded camps where minimum requirements of clean water and sanitation are not met, increases the risk of cholera transmission (should the bacteria be present or introduced) and frequent outbreaks encountered. Provision of safe water and sanitation is critical in reducing the impact of cholera and other waterborne diseases in the affected population. Cholera is an easily treatable disease. Up to 8% of people can be treated successfully through prompt administration of oral rehydration salts (ORS). Very severely dehydrated patients require administration of intravenous fluids. In order to ensure timely access to treatment, cholera treatment centers (CTCs) should be set up among the affected populations.
