| Popis: | Introduction: Breteau Index (BI) is a number of positive containers per 100 houses inspected with Aedes larvae and/or pupae. This is the number of containers we searched and destroyed for and found positive for Aedes breeding in the houses. In Temerloh, no study were conducted on the relationship between Breteau Index with number of dengue cases before. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association between BI and number of Dengue cases in Temerloh District, Pahang, Malaysia. Hence, to identify the effects of search and destroy on number of dengue cases based on BI in Temerloh. Materials and method: A cross sectional retrospective study was conducted to determined the correlation between Breteau Index with Number of dengue cases in Temerloh, Pahang, Malaysia. All registered dengue cases in e-Denggi were collected as a cumulative data for number of dengue cases in a month according to epid month in Temerloh Health District and data on BI were collected monthly from 2017 to 2018. Total number of dengue cases were calculated. All containers searched either positive or negative for Aedes larval were destroyed once found and documented for calculation of the Breteau Index. Data obtained were analyzed by Spearmen Coefficient Correlation Test (SPSS version 23). P value of Results: A total of 806 dengue cases were registered in eDenggi in the year 2017 to 2018 were included in this study. Both BI and Dengue cases were not normally distributed. BI mean (0.57±0.44) and mean number of dengue cases (34±22) as per Table 1. There was significant negative correlation between BI with number of dengue cases (r=-0.457, pDiscussion / Conclusion: This result implicated that the high Breteau Index had significant association with lowest number of dengue cases. The more containers we searched and destroyed for Aedes breeding the lowest number of dengue cases would be. Therefore, search and destroy had a major impact in reducing dengue cases in Temerloh.
