Bangladesh has reported one new death from dengue fever in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of fatalities this year to 203, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). During the same period, 374 new patients were admitted to hospitals across the country, raising the total number of recorded cases to 48,865.

The information was released on Saturday (4 October) in a regular dengue update issued by the Health Emergency Operation Centre and Control Room of the DGHS.

Division-wise Hospital Admissions in the Past 24 Hours

A total of 370 dengue patients have recovered and been discharged from hospitals in the past 24 hours. With this, 46,358 patients have been released from medical care so far this year after full recovery.

Comparative Overview of Dengue Cases and Deaths

Public health authorities continue to emphasise community awareness, mosquito control measures, and early medical consultation as the most effective ways to prevent dengue-related fatalities.

Experts have warned that the ongoing monsoon season may further increase mosquito breeding, urging local authorities and citizens to ensure proper waste management, removal of stagnant water, and timely vector control operations.

Despite a lower infection rate than the catastrophic 2023 outbreak, health officials remain on alert, as the disease continues to pose a significant threat to urban and semi-urban populations across Bangladesh.
