WEEKLY DISEASE SURVEILLANCE BULLETIN - REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN ()

Week 47 16 - 22 November 2015

HIGHLIGHTS

Completeness for weekly reporting was 57.4% for the non-conflict affected counties and 79% for the IDP sites. Malaria was the commonest cause of morbidity in both non-conflict affected counties (47%) and IDP sites (67%). Malaria epidemics reported in three states (Warrap, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, and Western Bahr el Ghazal) and two

IDP sites (Bentiu and Malakal PoCs). Five new suspect measles cases reported from CES (2), Lakes State (1), Bentiu State hosptal (1) and Bentiu PoC (1).

Only one out of the 23 health facilities reported zero case of Kala-azar. The Crude mortality rate and under five mortality were below the emergency threshold of 2 cases per day per

10,000 population for all the non-IDP and IDP sites that submitted mortality data during this reporting week.

EDITORIAL NOTE

This bulletin presents disease trends from the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) System and the Early Warning Alert and Response Network (EWARN). The respective data is submitted by public health facilities serving host communities (non-conflict affected states or non-IDP sites) and partner-supported facilities serving internally displaced persons (IDP) in the Republic of South Sudan.

Measles was the 5th cause of morbidity with three suspect measles case reported from CES (Lainya county - 2) and Lake State (Yirol West county - 1), a proportionate morbidity of 0.003% and incidence (cases per 100,000) of 0.0 reported. (Figure 5 and Tables 5, 7).

Since the beginning of 2015, the total suspect measles cases investigated countrywide is 494, of which 46 (9%) were laboratory confirmed measles (IgM+) cases, 79 epidemiological linked and 205 clinically compatibles.

The total confirmed Rubella cases is 47. The annualised measles incidence is 35.8 per 1,000,000 population Low performance of surveillance indicators: 227 (46.0 %) samples collected out of the 494 suspected measles cases

(target >80%), the annualized reporting rate of Non-measles Febrile/rash illness is 1.6/100,000 population (target ≥2/100,000 population), annualized blood samples collection rate at national level is 2.2/100,000, and percentage of counties with at least one case with blood specimen is 44.3%.

Among the IDPs, measles was the fifth commonest cause of morbidity with two cases reported from Bentiu PoC (1) and Bentiu State Hospital (1), representing a proportionate morbidity of 0.007%. (Figures 5, 16, 17, and 18). The suspect measles proportionate morbidity was higher (0.1%) in week 47 of 2014.

The suspect measles trend in IDPs is stable and the current incidence is lower when compared to 2014 (Figure 16). Figure 16

Among the IDPs, malaria was the commonest cause of morbidity with a proportionate morbidity of 63%, which is

more than two times higher when compared to the corresponding week of 2014. The trend has been rising since week 19 of 2015 with the incidence being higher when compared to 2014 (Figures 5, 21).

Bentiu PoC registered the highest malaria incidence (cases per 10,000) of 711, followed by Lankien (606) Malakal PoC (405) as seen in Figure 22.

The malaria incidence in Bentiu PoC and Malakal PoC exceeds the epidemic threshold. The malaria incidence in Renk, UN House, and Mingkaman are currently within the expected levels (Figure 23).

The proportionate morbidity for malaria was 66% and 49% in Bentiu PoC and Malakal PoC respectively. Laboratory data from IRC clinic in Bentiu PoC show that the rapid diagnistic test (RDT) malaria positivity rate stands

at 80% with a peak of 86% in week 40 of 2015. Since week 31 of 2015, the positivity rate has leveled off with an average seropositivity rate of 81% per week (Figure 23).

Ongoing national malaria taskforce meetings to coordinate the malaria preparedness and response activities. Response activities include coordination meetings; availability of adequate anti malaria drug stocks; prompt access to diagnostic and care at health facilities; community case management and referral; vector control activities (Indoor residual spraying, larvae control and distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets); and effective behavioural change communication strategies.

Hepatitis E Virus (HEV)

No new Acute Jaundice Syndrome (AJS) cases reported from the non-conflict affected states.

Among the IDPs, Hepatitis E Virus remains a major public health problem and confirmed in six IDP sites

(Mingkaman, Bentiu, Lankien, Melut, Guit, and Leer). Figures 24 and 25.

Bentiu PoC reported 240 new HEV cases. A cumulative of 2,289 HEV cases including 17 deaths (CFR 0.74%) reported

in Bentiu; 158 cases including seven deaths (CFR 4.4%) in Mingkaman; and 37 cases including one death (CFR 2.7%)

in Lankien. In Bentiu, majority of cases were male (52%), aged 2-9 years (38%) and 15-44 years (41%) (Tables 9).

Distribution of cases by location is summarised in table 10.

Response to HEV is underway guided by the comprehensive HEV response strategy with priority interventions being supportive case management, targeted preventive interventions during antenatal visits, soap distribution, shock chlorination of boreholes, as well as house-to-house hygiene and sanitation promotion.

NUTRITION

Bentiu PoC: week 46 of 2015: (source: Nutrition Cluster) A steady trend of new admissions in outpatient therapeutic feeding programs. A total of 212 children <5 years with

SAM were admitted in nutrition programs in Bentiu PoC as compared to 212 in week 45 of 2015 A total of 35 SAM children with medical complications admitted in the stabilization centre as compared to 28 in

week 45. No major changes observed in proxy GAM rate which was 12% as compared to 13% in the previous week. Fig 26: Admission trends - SAM admissions comparison 2014-15 - Bentiu PoC

Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP)

Five(5) new suspected AFP cases were reported from Lakes (Rumbek North-(1), Unity (Pariang-1), Upper Nile

(Lungchock-1), Warrap (Tonj South-1), Western Equatoria (Ezo-1).

Since the beginning 2015, 296 suspected AFP cases reported of which one was laboratory confirmed VDPV case

The annualized non-polio AFP rate stands at 4.00 per 100,000 (target ≥2 cases per 100,000 children 0-14 years). All

the states have met 2/100,000 except Upper Nile and Unity states in the war torn region.

The early detection rate (within 7 days of onset) of the cases in 2015 is 86%.

The adequate stool samples collection rate stands at 95% (target ≥80%) and the non-polio enterovirus (NPEV)

detection rate (a measure of the quality of the specimen cold chain) among AFP cases in 2015 is 15.7% (target

≥10%). The immunity profile of the AFP cases (6-59 months) shows coverage rate of 4+ OPV doses 77%.

Intensified surveillance activities in the conflict affected states (Jonglei, Unity, Upper Nile) include recruitment and

training of staff in AFP surveillance (27 field coordinators and 78 Field assistants), engage NGOs in AFP surveillance

activities, reestablishment of the cold chain in strategic locations (depending on stability and partners on ground),

complete the remaining one round of SNIDs, strengthening of routine immunization, and expand permanent

vaccination posts both international borders and crossing points of conflict affected states

OTHER DISEASES OF PUBLIC HEALTH IMPORTANCE

Guinea worm (Dracunculiasis)

Two new suspect cases of Guinea worm reported during week 47 of 2015 for Yirol East in Lakes State.

Viral Haemorrhagic Fever

No Ebola/Marburg cases confirmed in South Sudan. The Republic of South Sudan continues to enhance its readiness capacities for Ebola/Marburg virus disease, the national Ebola/Marburg taskforce coordinates implementation of interventions guided by a national Ebola/Marburg contingency plan.

Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-azar)

Only one health facility (Walga) reported 0 cases during this reporting week Since the beginning of 2015, 3,036 cases [2,449 (80.7%) new and 587 (19.3%) relapses/PKDL] including 101 deaths

(CFR 3.3%) and 111(3.7%) defaulters have been reported from 23 treatment centers.

Majority of cases were reported from Lankien (1,362) followed by Walgak (335) and Pagil (176). Male [1,706 cases

(56.2%)], those aged ≥15years [1,374 cases (45.3%]) and 5-14years [1,207 (39.8%) were the most affected groups.

In the corresponding period in 2014, a total of 6,989 cases including 196 deaths (CFR 2.8%) and 222 (3.3%)

defaulters were reported from 21 treatment centers. Generally cases reported in 2015 are lower when compared

to 2014. During the peak season of 2015, an average of 11 to 30 cases were reported weekly as compared to 250 or

more during the peak season of 2014. The reduced number of cases this years may be attributed to the low

number of reporting health facilities, withdrawal of some heath partners and inaccessibility to health facilities due

to insecurity and flooding.

Although, the trend of the disease has been stable since week 36 of 2015, vigilance should be maintained as well as

implementation of of preparedness activities for the peak season.

Meningitis

No new suspect cases of meningitis reported in week 47 of 2015.

RESPONSE INTERVENTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

In response to the current malaria trends a coordinated response has been initiated by the national malaria taskforce to improve access to treatment, interrupt transmission, and engage communities. This includes mass presumptive treatment of fever cases for malaria, distribution of LLINs, larviciding, indoor residual spraying, and behavioral change communication.

Comprehensive HEV response activities implemented include proper case management; preventive interventions during antenatal care visits; improving access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities; interventions for a safe water chain; preventive vaccination using HEV vaccine for groups with a high risk for adverse clinical outcomes including mortality; and house-to-house hygiene and sanitation promotion including distribution of NFIs like soap and jerry cans.

Following the recent integrated measles and polio vaccination campaigns in Bentiu and UN House PoC surveillance and routine immunization have been enhanced.

Enhanced nutrition screening at health facilities, and during house-to-house visits are underway to identify and initiate early treatment for malnourished cases.

Integrate TB/HIV/AIDS prevention and control into the routine healthcare services in all the IDP sites.

Emphasis on collection of specimens from patients and shipping to Juba for laboratory confirmation of measles, AJS, bloody diarrhea, and cholera cases.
