The study was performed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of epilepsy in a rural area where cysticercosis was endemic Dong Cuu commune, Gia Binh district, Bac Ninh province. Results: There were 38 cases of 6269 people living in the area suffering epilepsy. The prevalence of epilepsy was 6.1%. Among 38 patients with epilepsy, 25 cases were active epilepsy. The prevalence was highest in patients under 10 year and between 41 - 50 of aged. 71% of patients had generalized seisures, 13% had partial seisures and 15.8% of patients had unclassification seisures. 18/38 patients had risk factors indentified, of them 3 were due to Neurocysticercosis. 45% of patients did not receive any management and treatment. The prevalence of epilepsy in the area with cysticercosis as the same as other areas. However, Neurocysticercosis was considerable cause of epilepsy in the community.

Epidemiological characteristics of Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in the High-Plateaux were assessed using data from the national DHF control project and the results of viral isolation and serologic surveillance between 1998 - 2004. From 1998 to 2004, the number of epidemics was decreasing. Main forms of DHF I&II accounted for 86.90%. The majority of epidemics occurred in Buon Ma Thuot city and Pleiku city. Some epidemics has occurred in others districts in the High-Plateaux from 1999 to 2004 at mild degrees. Interestingly, the main types of DHF were Dengue virus type 3 in 1998, Dengue virus type 2 in 2002, and Dengue virus type 1 in 2004. The seropositive rate was high (35.02 - 40.78%) and primarily infected patients were predominant (57.75 - 76.70%).
