Berbeda dengan beberapa negara, laporan kejadian kasus demam
berdarah dengue (DBD) di perdesaan Indonesia belum banyak dilaporkan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran kejadian DBD di
perdesaan di wilayah perbatasan Kabupaten Bogor dan Kabupaten Lebak,
Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus seri dengan
sampel seluruh penderita DBD yang tercatat di puskesmas pada periode
bulan Januari 2011 sampai April 2012. Hasil penelitian menemukan 18 ka-
sus DBD dan 4 kasus kematian (case fatality rate, CFR = 22%). Sebagian
besar kasus berjenis kelamin laki-laki (58,3%), berusia ≥ 15 tahun (58,3%),
tidak bekerja/ibu rumah tangga (50%), melakukan mobilitas (66,7%), mem-
punyai pengetahuan yang baik (66,7%), berperilaku kurang baik (83,3%),
dan mempunyai tempat penampungan air (100%). Lima dari 12 kasus DBD
(41,7%) diduga merupakan kasus lokal. Dari empat puskesmas (57,1%)
yang melakukan kegiatan penyelidikan epidemiologi DBD terindikasi bah-
wa kemungkinan besar telah terjadi transmisi DBD di wilayah perdesaan
daerah perbatasan Kabupaten Bogor dan Kabupaten Lebak.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has long been reported as disease af-
fecting predominantly among urban populations. However, several recent
studies suggest that DHF has spread into rural area. This study aims to des-
cribe disease occurrence of DHF in border rural areas of Bogor ? Lebak.
The study design is case series. The sample of this study was all patients
with confirmed DHF admitted to public health centers between January
2011 and April 2012. The study was conducted in April to May 2012. The
results showed that there were 19 DHF cases and four out of 18 cases died
(case fatality rate, CFR was 22%). Out of 12 eligible respondents, most of
them were male (58,3%), aged ≥ 15 years (58,3%), unemployed/housewife
(50%), conducting mobility (66,7%), having good knowledge (66,7%), be-
have poorly (83,3%), and having water containers (100%). Five of 12 DHF cases (41,7%) were suspected as local cases. Four primary health centers
(57,1%) were able to perform PE DBD (DHF Epidemiological Investigation).
These results indicate that the transmission of DHF in border rural areas of
Bogor ? Lebak, most likely has occurred.
