 The Ministry of Health and Wellness is currently investigating two dengue-related deaths. Both individuals were seen and managed at the Owen King European Union Hospital, where they presented with a clinical picture consistent with dengue fever. All samples were tested locally for dengue virus and have been sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency CARFA for confirmation. The Ministry of Health and Wellness awaits these confirmatory results. To date, St. Lucia has recorded one confirmed dengue-related death and is now investigating these two new dengue-related deaths. National epidemiologist Dr. Michel Foussois is urging the public to pay close attention to the signs and symptoms of dengue fever. In its mild form, dengue fever may present with fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains and a red itchy rash. There are several warning signs that persons need to be aware of. These include intense and continuous abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, which means three or more episodes in one hour or four episodes in six hours, bleeding from the gums or nose, bleeding in the urine or in the vomit or dark-colored stool, restlessness or jousiness as well as enlarged liver. Persons presenting with these warning signs should immediately seek medical attention. Approximately 5% of persons progress to a severe form of dengue infection. There is no specific treatment for dengue fever and management is supportive based on presenting signs and symptoms. As of October 3, 2020, a total of 540 confirmed cases have been recorded. The mean age of cases is 19 years old with an age range from 3 weeks to 84 years old. The age group 5 to 14 years old accounts for approximately 38% of cases. 49% of confirmed cases occurred during the month of August, with both serotypes 2 and 3 continuing to be in circulation. Hospitalization rate among cases is 25%, 65% of whom were in the age group under 14 years old. Although all health regions have reported cases of dengue fever, the highest prevalence continues to be reported in a northern part of the island, with castries, grozily and babono, accounting for 34%, 17% and 8% of cases respectively. In the south, viewfort accounts for 14% of cases, followed by denry with 10% and miku with 6%. Among the northern settlements, castries, bexar and babono have confirmed the most cases, while in the south, denry village and viewfort town confirmed the most cases. The public is reminded that both dengue serotypes 2 and 3 are in circulation. The likelihood of persons presenting with severe form of dengue is therefore increased. The public is asked to assist in the control of dengue fever by eliminating breeding sites in and around their homes. This can be done by discarding of all open containers with stagnant water and surrounding your home on a regular basis. Using insect repellent, which may be applied directly to the skin, clothing or mosquito nets, wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants, especially during the hours of highest mosquito activity.
