Dengue fever cases have surged in Bangladesh with 42,590 people infected and hospitalized since the beginning of the year. 117 people have died from the disease. Experts warn that the situation could worsen in September.
Cases have now been reported in all 64 districts of Bangladesh, with Dhaka having the highest number of patients. The government has launched a nationwide cleaning and awareness campaign.
Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. In severe cases, it can cause bleeding and death. Experts say spraying alone is not enough and breeding sites must be targeted.
