According to media source, At least 1,017 people have died in the first nine months of 2023 and nearly 209,000 have become infected, making it Bangladesh’s worst recorded outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease since the first tallied epidemic in 2000. Among the dead are 112 children aged 15 and under, including infants.
The country’s hospitals are struggling to make space for patients as the disease spreads rapidly in the densely populated South Asian country.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that dengue and other diseases caused by mosquito-borne viruses, such as chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika, are spreading faster and further due to climate change.
Hospitals in Bangladesh have in recent years begun to admit patients suffering from the disease during winter months. Those with repeat infections are at greater risk of complications. The virus that causes the disease is now endemic to Bangladesh, which has seen a trend of worsening outbreaks since the turn of the century.
