Ten dengue patients died and 1,943 were admitted to hospitals across Bangladesh in the latest 24-hour period, Banglanews24 reported on Thursday, citing a release from the Directorate General of Health Services’ Health Emergency Operation Centre and Control Room.
The total counts hospital admissions, not every dengue infection. The report did not provide a district-by-district breakdown or a more exact cutoff for the 24-hour period.
The figures are a one-day snapshot of the country’s dengue burden. The report attributed them to the health directorate’s update but gave no further details about the patients or the circumstances of the deaths.
