Dengue Menace: 6-Time Rise In Cases In This City

Even as India learns to live with the coronavirus, dengue is back with a vengeance during the monsoon season.

Cases have been on the rise in several parts of India, including Odisha’s Malkangiri district where 44 people were infected in 15 a span of days recently.

Down south, in Bengaluru, the number of cases rose six times in 3 months — from 102 in May to 677 in August.

The Centre has allocated immunoglobulin M (IgM) test kits for dengue to Karnataka government. These are considered to be accurate to confirm dengue cases.

Some health experts have suggested that COVID-afflicted patients could develop severe dengue.
