Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of DHF in Pekalongan District experience an Increase in cases in 2015-2017. Incident Rate (IR) of 2017 DHF is 22.12 / 100,000 population and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of DHF is 0.99%. The high prevalence of DHF is Followed by the situation of endemic community health centers and endemic villages. Objectives: The porpose of the research to Determine the spatial pattern of the distribution of dengue cases in Pekalongan District. Methods: This type of research is a descriptive study with an ecological study design. Results: Distribution of dengue cases in Pekalongan District from 2015-2017 had the highest cases of 27 cases in June, while the Lowest cases were 12 cases in August.

The highest rainfall occurred in February with 394mm and the Lowest average rainfall occurred in August with 26.7mm. Areas with extensive land use, high rice fields and high population densities have a high distribution of dengue cases.Conclusion: there is a correlation between water temperature, rainfall, population density, land use, indicators of transmission of House Index, Countainer Index, Breteau Index and free number of mosquito larvae with the incidence of DHF. While air humidity does not have a significant correlation to the incidence of DHF in Pekalongan District. suggestions:
