Dengue fever continues its deadly march across Bangladesh as health authorities confirmed another 138 people caught the mosquito-borne disease during the latest 24-hour period. Medical workers reported that fresh infections pushed the annual case count beyond the 14,000 milestone. Barishal division bore the heaviest burden with 60 patients requiring immediate hospital treatment. Chattogram division followed with 28 new admissions while various parts of Dhaka recorded 44 additional cases. Khulna and Rajshahi divisions each logged three fresh hospitalizations.
Government health experts revealed that dengue has already killed 54 people since January while sickening a staggering 14,069 individuals nationwide. The Directorate General of Health Services released the grim statistics showing the disease's relentless spread. Medical facilities across the country discharged 153 recovered patients during the same timeframe. Healthcare workers continue battling the outbreak that shows little sign of slowing down. Hospital beds remain occupied as doctors treat waves of fevered patients seeking relief.
Last year's dengue epidemic proved far more devastating when the disease claimed 575 lives and infected over 101,000 people throughout Bangladesh. Current figures suggest the outbreak may not reach those catastrophic levels but officials remain vigilant. Mosquito control efforts have intensified as authorities scramble to prevent further transmission. Public health campaigns urge residents to eliminate standing water where disease-carrying insects breed. Medical professionals warn that monsoon season could worsen the already serious situation.
