With 40 cases reported in the last two months, dengue cases have already begun
to appear in the city.
Director of Health Services at the University of Texas, Dr.
Suman Singh, stated: "This year, instances have been recorded early due to
timely monsoon. To prevent the vector-borne sickness from spreading further, we
are taking all required safeguards. To cover all breeding sites, fogging and
spraying operations are being conducted.
Dengue larvae have been found in refrigerator trays, pots,
tyres, and other items, and city dwellers, public and commercial organisations
are being criticised for not keeping their surroundings clean.
On individuals who disobey the rules, up to 7,638 notices
and 97 show-cause notices have been delivered. 139 challans have also been
issued to government organisations.
With 1,584 reported cases, compared to an annual average of
300 since 2018, last year saw the worst dengue outbreak in the preceding four
years.
Three dengue-related fatalities have been reported in the
city so far this year, but there haven't been any since 2015.
The region's delayed exit of the south-west monsoon was
blamed for the outbreak last year. By the end of September, the monsoon usually
ends. The day was moved up to October 25 last year.
Hospitals running out of beds for patients needing medical
attention also ruined the season last year. All three of the city's government
hospitals' emergency rooms were packed of patients who had fevers and needed
platelets.
- 3 deaths have already occurred this year compared to none
since 2015
- 1,584 instances were reported in 2021, the most in four
years.
- average of 300 cases per year since 2018
- 7,638 notifications were served and 139 challans were
issued.
Seven indicators of dengue fever
- abdomen-related discomfort or pain.
- recurring vomiting
- clinical fluid buildup.
- a bleeding mucosa
- lassitude or agitation.
- > 2 cm of liver enlargement
- Increased HCT in the lab, along with a sharp decline in platelet count
Dengue fever pattern
The typical biphasic or "saddleback" pattern of a fever involves a break followed by a return for one or two further days. As the fever subsides in some patients, the disease progresses to a critical stage. This phase, which normally lasts 1-2 days, is marked by extensive, diffuse plasma leakage.
Dengue prevention and cure
Wear long sleeves and long pants, use insect repellent, and keep mosquitoes at bay both inside and outside of your home. An estimated 400 million people worldwide contract the dengue virus every year from mosquito bites. About 100 million get sick.
