ANALISIS POLA PERSEBARAN PENYAKIT LEPTOSPIROSIS DI KOTA SEMARANG TAHUN 2014 – 2016

Abstract

Leptospirosis is carried by a pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira, a obligate spirochaeta aerobic bacteria. Leptospirosis continues to be a significant problem in areas with high populations as in SEA countries. In Indonesia, leptospirosis still acts as a dangerous disease that continues to be neglected and continues to be a health problem. While in Semarang Health Profile in 2015, Semarang City is still at the first rank of cases and death of leptospirosis.

The design of this study was cross sectional with the type of observational study with total sampling technique. The number of samples is 134. Spatial analysis using 9.3 Arcgis software. The result of spatial analysis showed that the measurement of case-by-river distance buffer was 73 cases (54,5%) with radius 50 - 300 m. Based on the flood area, the incidence of Leptopsirosis in Semarang City in 2014 - 2016 was 26.11% (35 respondents).
