DESKRIPSI KASUS MALARIA DI KABUPATEN PURWOREJO TAHUN 2009 – 2013

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease of the blood parasite plasmodium which is transmitted by mosquito
Anopheles sp. Malaria cases in Purworejo in 2000 as many as 33 543 cases or API (Annual Parasite
Incidence) 43.7 ‰, to 2009 cases continue to decrease the number of cases or API 359 ‰ 0:47.
Beginning in 2010 increased the number of cases 372 or API (Annual Parasite Incidence) 0:49 ‰,
whereas in 2011 occurred in 1001 cases of malaria or API (Annual Parasite Incidence) 1:34 ‰. 547
cases occurred in 2012 with the API (Annual Parasite Incidence) of 0.57 ‰. This study aims to determine
the description of cases of malaria in Purworejo over the last 5 years (2009-2013).
The method used in this research is descriptive. The study was conducted by collecting secondary
data from the District Health Office Purworedjo which includes the data of malaria cases in 2009-2013
and data on malaria control Purworejo.
The results showed malaria cases in 2009-2013 were highest in 2011 and the Health Center is a
health center Kaligesing with the highest case. Index cases were indegeneus identified more with the
type of parasite highest P.falcipharum the ring phase. Control program runs quite well but health center
with stratification HCI (High Case Incidence) is always there every year, especially in the last 3 years
Health Center Kaligesing always with stratification HCI (High Case Incidence).
The conclusion of this research is the possibility of persistence of malaria cases occur due to
geographical barriers and the possibility of resistance (vector and parasite). From these results it is
expected that the District Health Office Purworejo further improve the early warning system and try an
alternative to the control of environmental modification.
