Abstract

Bencana tsunami melanda Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam pada tanggal 26 Desember 2004, selain meningkatkan kejadian luar biasa (KLB) malaria juga memunculkan daerah-daerah endemis malaria. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan prevalensi penderita malaria di Pulau Weh, pasca Tsunami pada akhir 2004. Penelitian dilakukan secara ‘cross sectional’. Diagnostik malaria ditegakkan berdasarkan pemeriksaan apusan darah (mikroskopik). Ditemukan penurunan kasus malaria di Pulau Weh. Prevalensi penderita malaria yang diperoleh adalah 15,3%. Dari semua penderita malaria, 41,4% tanpa gejala klinis demam. Penderita yang tidak mengalami gejala klinis demam tersebut, umumnya mempunyai gejala klinis badan pegal, pusing, gangguan pencernaan dan lemas. Penurunan prevalensi malaria dalam penelitian ini dapat saja terjadi oleh karena perbedaan cara dalam menetapkan diagnosa dan waktu pengambilan data yang tidak dilakukan pada “musim malaria”.

Tsunami disaster that occured in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam on 26 December 2004, has increased malaria outbreak and emerged new malaria endemic areas. The study was conducted to obtain malaria prevalence after tsunami in Weh island. The design used in this study is cross-sectional. Malaria was diagnosed through blood examination (microscopic). The study found reducing malaria cases in Weh Island. The prevalence of malaria in this study was 15.3%. Among all malaria patients, there were 41.4% who did not get fever. Those without fever, usually suffered from myalgia, headache. Abdominal discomfort and weakness. The decrease malaria prevalence in this study could be caused by either differences in diagnostic method or timing of data collection.
