Bangladesh has reported 1,782 new dengue cases and eight deaths in the past 24 hours, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). The latest figures have increased the country’s total dengue cases this year to 69,149, while the death toll has reached 209.
The latest numbers highlight the continuing dengue situation in Bangladesh, where health authorities are closely monitoring the spread of the mosquito-borne disease. Hospitals and healthcare facilities are treating a large number of patients as cases continue to be reported from different parts of the country.
Among the regions, Dhaka division recorded the highest number of new cases, with 371 patients reported during the latest 24-hour period. Khulna division followed with 286 cases, making it another major area reporting a significant number of infections.
Dengue is mainly transmitted through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. These mosquitoes can breed in stagnant water found in and around homes, offices, construction sites and other residential areas. Health officials have repeatedly urged people to remove standing water and keep their surroundings clean.
The continued increase in cases has also led to greater attention on early diagnosis and treatment. People experiencing symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, body pain, weakness, nausea or other unusual symptoms are advised to seek medical attention rather than delay treatment.
Doctors also warn that dengue can become serious in some patients, particularly when warning signs are ignored. Severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, bleeding, extreme weakness or unusual drowsiness can require immediate medical care.
Health authorities are therefore encouraging communities to take preventive measures alongside medical treatment. Regular mosquito-control activities, removal of stagnant water and increased public awareness can help reduce the risk of further transmission.
With the national case count now standing at 69,149 and the death toll at 209, dengue remains a significant public health concern in Bangladesh. Authorities and healthcare workers continue to monitor new infections and encourage residents to take precautions against mosquito bites and breeding.
