Caution as number of dengue fever cases rises in Bangladesh

Sept. 2, 2024, 10:01 p.m.
According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), as of September 1, the number of dengue fever cases in the area this year was 13,319, of which 86 have died. Comparing monthly cases, the number has been increasing since June.

Dengue fever does not often become severe the first time it is infected, but reinfection can lead to a serious condition called dengue hemorrhagic fever. Currently, there is no definitive treatment, so it is important to take thorough "prevention" measures to avoid infection. Take precautions such as avoiding activities during the day where there are many mosquitoes, wearing long sleeves and long pants to reduce exposed skin, and using insect repellent spray.
Symptoms that can be seen early include fever, headache (pain behind the eyes), joint pain, muscle pain, abdominal pain, vomiting, and other cold-like symptoms. If you are worried, please visit the nearest medical institution as soon as possible and get tested.

Information about local medical institutions is also posted on our website (https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/toko/medi/asia/bangla.html).
