As of 8:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, according to the official data, 524 persons had been admitted to hospitals with the mosquito-borne illness in the previous 24 hours. This is the most admissions in a single day so far this year.
The DGHS, which is part of the Ministry of Health, reports that 373 persons in Dhaka alone have been diagnosed with dengue.
The number of dengue cases in the nation has increased to 9,165 so far this month as a result of the new illnesses recorded on Wednesday, according to the DGHS.
The number of new infections reveals the rapidly expanding trend of the Aedes-borne disease in the capital city of Bangladesh.
After 1,571 people contracted the viral disease in July, 3,521 more cases of dengue were reported in August. The DGHS reports that 15,346 dengue cases have been recorded in Bangladesh so far this year.
The DGHS stated that although 34 deaths were reported in September, there were 11 deaths in August and 9 deaths in July.
Dengue fever season occurs during the June to September monsoon season in Bangladesh, a country with a high risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.
Due to inadequate biosecurity and disease surveillance, the nation, which has a population of roughly 165 million, is particularly susceptible to the virus.
In stagnant water like water-filled containers, Aedes mosquitos can breed.
Joint pain, nausea, vomiting, rashes, respiratory issues, haemorrhaging, and organ failure can all occur in severe dengue cases.
