Out of total 305,799 clients recorded in week-19 of 2012, 17.2%
(52484) of consultations were reported due to cough and cold and
2.9% (8922) of consultations were reported due to pneumonia. In
the same reporting period, 10.6% or 32,445 events were reported
due to diarrheal illnesses (7.3% due to Acute Watery Diarrhea,
2.4% due to Bloody Diarrhea and 0.9% due to acute watery
diarrhea with dehydration). In comparison with previous week
(W18 of 2012) the percentage of ARI diseases has decreased by
0.8% to 20.1%, whereas the percentage of Acute Diarrheal
diseases increased by 1.6% to 10.6%.This variation can be due to
changes in temperature /weather during the reporting
week.Figure-2 above shows the percentages of DEWS target
diseases by age groups in week-19 of 2012.

Percentages of ARI & Diarrheal Diseases by Epidemiological Weeks(from W22 of 2011 to W19 of 2012)
Among the DEWS target diseases, Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) and Acute Diarrheal Diseases (ADD) as leading causes of morbidity and mortality,
having the highest frequency of consultations. The following Line-Chart shows the trend of ADD and ARI from week-22 of 2011 to week-19 of 2012. In week22 of 2011, the ARI and ADD curves crossed each other, so that ARI started decreasing and ADD changed its course to increase. By the end of Summer season
of 2011 these curves crossed one another again in week-37 and from that time to week 6 of 2012, in general the percentage of ARI was increasing, while the
percentages of ADD were falling /decreasing, but week-09 of 2012 was a turning point for both categories of ARI and Diarrheal diseases i.e. ARI started
decreasing, while ADD started increasing. In this week (Week-19 of 2012) in comparison with previous week, ARI decreased by 0.8% to 20.1%, while the
percentage of ADD increased by 1.6% to 10.6%.
