According to the mosquito-borne disease report released on Monday by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the weekly count of dengue cases in Delhi has increased over the past week by a factor of two, with Delhi reporting 56 new dengue cases since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24 dengue cases have been reported in the city during the previous seven-week period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The total number of dengue cases reported up until July 28 has increased by 56, bringing the total to 243 cases. The number of dengue cases at this time is the highest it has been in the previous six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city reported 169 cases in the same period in 2022, 52 cases in 2021, 31 cases in 2020, 40 cases in 2019 and 56 cases in 2018, in contrast to the 243 dengue cases registered between January 1 and July 28, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An MCD official claimed that in addition to the city’s recent floods and waterlogging, the increase in cases can also be ascribed to the disease’s classification as a notifiable illness last year, which improved reporting from healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the zonal breakdown of these 243 incidents, 129 of them originated in MCD districts, 17 in the NDMC zone, 12 in the Delhi cantonment areas, 5 within the jurisdiction of the Railways, and 80 were unsolved despite extensive inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi government’s health department had carried out dengue virus genome sequencing and discovered that 19 out of 20 samples were type 2 dengue, which is regarded as being more deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Six days after infection, dengue symptoms start to manifest. High fever is one of the most typical signs of dengue. Other symptoms include skin rashes, severe headaches, nausea, weariness, joint pain, and fatigue. These symptoms often appear 5 days after the commencement of the fever. Patients frequently also experience little bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preventions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The phrase prevention is the best cure is the greatest strategy to combat dengue infections in the face of an increase in instances. Even when you are at home, use more insect repellents. Be cautious to adequately cover yourself whenever you go outside. Avoid going outside in grassy areas, particularly at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The total number of dengue cases reported up until July 28 has increased by 56, bringing the total to 243 cases.
