Sixty-eight new dengue patients
have been hospitalized in 24 hours until Sunday morning, health authorities
said.
The number of fatalities from the
mosquito-borne disease remained unchanged at 98 in the current year as no fresh
death was reported during the period, according to the Directorate General of
Health Services (DGHS), reports UNB.
Ninety people died in the Dhaka
division alone, two each in Chittagong, Mymensingh and Khulna divisions and one
each in Rajshahi and Barisal divisions.
Forty-seven new patients are undergoing
treatment in hospitals in Dhaka while the remaining 21 cases have been reported
from outside the division.
Some 279 patients diagnosed with
dengue are receiving treatment in the country as of Friday.
Of them, 216 patients are
receiving treatment at different hospitals in the capital while the remaining
63 were listed outside Dhaka.
Since January, some 27,604
patients have been admitted to different hospitals with dengue in the country.
So far, 27,227 dengue patients have left hospitals after recovery, said DGHS.
Experts attribute the unusually
high dengue cases during the dry season, mainly in Dhaka, to the prolonged rainy
season, sporadic rainfall, and high humidity and temperature, Aedes mosquitoes'
reproductive and behavioural changes caused by climate change and lack of
people’s awareness and poor controlling measures by the two city corporations
of the capital.
They also said the climate
conditions of Bangladesh are becoming more favourable for the Aedes mosquitos
to prevail in all seasons with high or low intensity, mainly for the increase
in temperature and breeding sources.
