A total of 2,326 dengue infected people were hospitalised across the country in the last 24 hours till Thursday morning, which is a little less than Wednesday’s 2,428.
However, a college girl died of dengue at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in the capital on Thursday morning, as per a UNB report.
The deceased was identified as Khaleda Parvin, 25, a degree student of Madhukhali Govt Ainuddin College in Faridpur and daughter of Firoz Khan of Meghchami village in Madhukhali.
Chairman of Meghchami union parishad Hasan Ali said Khaleda, who was infected with dengue a week ago, was taken to Madhukhali Health Complex first and then shifted to Faridpur Medical College Hospital.
As her condition did not improve, the college girl was taken to the DMCH four days ago where she died around 8:30am, he said.
Of the new dengue cases, 1,158 were reported from the capital alone with one suffering from dengue hemorrhagic, according to Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
Since the beginning of its outbreak this year, 34,666 patients were hospitalised with dengue and 25,872 discharged after recovery, according to the DGHS data.
At least 8,765 patients, including children, are currently undergoing treatment at hospitals and of them, 5,140 are in Dhaka.
Since January, 29 dengue patients died, the DGHS said, although the unofficial estimates suggest the death toll is much higher.
Meanwhile, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader urged people to cooperate with the government instead of criticising it unnecessarily to tackle the dengue prevalence.
