Abstract

Malaria is a global health concern including in Indonesia. In early 2023, Sorong Regency Health Office reported that there was a malaria outbreak in Usili Village, Southwest Papua, Indonesia. A total of 38 cases were confirmed positive by rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and microscopic examination. This study aimed to describe clinical features, surveillance system and determinant factors that contributed to the outbreak. A mix-method study was conducted. Clinical features and surveillance were designed with qualitative descriptive, while determinant factors of malaria used case control design. A total of 144 individuals were participated in this study. Results showed that 68.7% of the case was uncomplicated malaria. Risk factor analysis illustrated that working status (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.005-2.765), night outdoor activities (OR 1.6; 95% CI 0.650 - 1.805), using mosquito net (OR 1.9; 95% CI 0.005-2.765) were contributed to the case. Surveillance variables revealed incomplete data reporting, unreliable data collection, and a postponed epidemiology investigation. We draw conclusion that the majority cases of this outbreak were clinically uncomplicated malaria. The outbreak was linked to determinant factors like outdoor activities, mosquito net use, and working status. This study also emphasizes the shortcomings of the surveillance system in preventing malaria.
