Background

Communicable diseases such as AIDS/HIV, dengue fever, and malaria have a great burden and subsequent economic loss in the Asian region. The purpose of this article is to review the widespread burden of communicable diseases and related health-care burden for the patient in Asia and the Pacific.

Areas covered

In Central Asia, the number of new AIDS cases increased by 29%. It is more endemic in the poor population with variations in the cost of illness. Dengue is prevalent in more than 100 countries, including the Asia-Pacific region. In Southeast Asia, the annual economic burden of dengue fever was between $ 610 and $ 1,384 million, with a per capita cost of $ 1.06 to $ 2.41. Globally, 2.9 billion people are at risk of developing malaria, 90% of whom are residents of the Asia and Pacific region. The annual per capita cost of malaria control ranged from $ 0.11 to $ 39.06 and for elimination from $ 0.18 to $ 27.

Expert opinion

The cost of AIDS, dengue, and malaria varies from country to country due to different health-care systems. The literature review has shown that the cost of dengue disease and malaria is poorly documented.

传染病负担和疾病成本：亚太地区。

背景

艾滋病/艾滋病毒、登革热和疟疾等传染病给亚洲地区带来了沉重的负担和随之而来的经济损失。本文的目的是回顾亚洲及太平洋地区普遍存在的传染病负担和相关的医疗保健负担。

涵盖的领域

在中亚，新的艾滋病病例增加了 29%。它在贫困人口中更为流行，疾病费用各不相同。登革热在包括亚太地区在内的 100 多个国家流行。在东南亚，登革热每年造成的经济负担在610美元至13.84亿美元之间，人均成本为1.06美元至2.41美元。在全球范围内，有 29 亿人面临患疟疾的风险，其中 90% 是亚太地区的居民。每年人均疟疾控制费用从 0.11 美元到 39.06 美元不等，消除疟疾的费用从 0.18 美元到 27 美元不等。

专家意见

由于不同的卫生保健系统，艾滋病、登革热和疟疾的费用因国家而异。文献回顾表明，登革热和疟疾的成本记录很少。
