Figure‐1 above represents trend of "proportional morbidity." This is the number of new consultations for acute diarrhea di‐ vided by the total number of consultations. The very dramatic peak starting about week 31, 2010, demonstrates the increase in acute diarrhoea cases from the flood‐affected areas starting in KP the first week of August 2010.

The “proportional morbidity” of diarrhoea in 2011 so far follows the seasonal trend of 2009 and early 2010.

While the overall diarrhea trend so far this year is following the usual proportional morbidity, the cholera cases and outbreaks are above the usual and starting earlier than usual. Last week 17 districts had outbreaks of AWD.

Focus on: Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) Following the report of two cases of Hemorrhagic Fever from KP with test pending, we would like to send reminder to all clinicians that incidence of Cri‐ mean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) typically has two peaks in Pakistan – June and September ‐ believed to correspond with the movement of live‐ stock to the mountains to graze in the spring and back to the valleys in the winter.

CCHF is a viral haemorrhagic fever transmitted to humans by the bite of the Hyalomma tick or by di‐ rect contact with blood of an infected animal or hu‐ man. CCHF is a severe disease with a high case fatal‐ ity rate ranging from 2% to 50%. Survival is improved with appropriate treatment with fluids, blood products and Ribavirin (anti‐viral). Universal precautions should be taken to protect against infection from any hemorrhagic case appearing in the ER, for example, with ENT bleeding or acute abdomen.

Prevention strategies focus on prevention of tick bites or handling ticks and careful management of slaughtering to avoid contact with fresh blood.

Further information is available on NIH and WHO Pakistan websites.
