Dengue update: one death and 1,163 hospital admissions reported
The DGHS update for 2 October brings the year’s reported deaths to 250.
Bangladesh reported one dengue-related death and 1,163 hospital admissions in the 24 hours ending at 8am on 2 October, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
The update takes reported deaths this year to 250 and cumulative hospital admissions to 82,761. The latest death was recorded in Dhaka division.
These are hospital surveillance figures, rather than a count of every dengue infection in the community. The reports checked draw on the same DGHS bulletin; they are not three independent measurements.
