Abstract

Dengue infection is a health threat, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. In Indonesia, the morbidity and mortality rate due to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is increasing and the area of distribution is wider. This study aimed to determine the distribution of dengue morbidity and mortality rates between the mainland and island regions in Southeast Sulawesi. This research was a non-reactive study that uses secondary data on all dengue fever cases from the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Health Service from 2015 to 2019, totaling 7,141 cases. The research results show that the highest dengue fever prevalence rate for mainland areas occurred in 2016 at 0.15%, while for island areas it occurred in 2016 and 2019 at 0.04%. Meanwhile, the highest Incidence Rate (IR) figures for both land and island areas occurred in 2016, with land areas at 154.24 and island areas at 60.71. Epidemiologically, dengue fever that occurred in the province of Southeast Sulawesi, both in coastal areas and in mainland areas, shows a fluctuating trend. The incidence of DHF, both based on prevalence rates and Incidence Rate (IR), shows that it is always higher in the mainland than in the archipelago; this can be related to climatic conditions and demographic conditions of the population of Southeast Sulawesi Province.
