The rapid growth of death cases poses a high level of risk! Report of over 80000 confirmed cases of dengue fever in this country | Bangladesh | Dengue fever
According to the latest data from the health department, the country has reported a total of 82506 cases of dengue fever and 387 deaths so far this year, according to the Bangladesh Associated Press on August 13th. The World Health Organization has assessed the risk of dengue fever in Bangladesh as a high level and called for swift action to contain the spread of the epidemic.
The report cites a report from the World Health Organization on the dengue fever outbreak in Bangladesh, stating that the dengue fever outbreak in Bangladesh since the end of June this year is unusual compared to previous years, and the epidemic may not have reached its peak yet.
As of the 7th of this month, Bangladesh has reported the highest number of dengue fever cases since the same period in 2000. Since late June, the dengue fever epidemic in Bangladesh has rapidly escalated. As of now, 64 districts across Bangladesh have reported cases of dengue fever. In addition, both confirmed cases and deaths of dengue fever are rapidly increasing, with a higher mortality rate than in previous years. The World Health Organization has assessed the risk of dengue fever in Bangladesh as high and identified the possibility of developing an epidemic.
Since this year, Bangladesh has received more intermittent rainfall, coupled with high temperature and humidity, which has led to an increase in mosquito breeding throughout the country, leading to an increase in the incidence rate of dengue fever. The World Health Organization calls for the use of mosquito repellents and other methods to curb mosquito borne diseases, wear long sleeved clothing, and minimize human mosquito contact. Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus, mainly transmitted through mosquito vectors, and is mostly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Typical symptoms include persistent fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, etc., and in severe cases, it can cause patient death.
