Dengue On Rise, 5 Cases Surfaces In Mandleshwar
Mandleshwar (Madhya Pradesh): Mandleshwar currently facing an increase in dengue cases due to fluctuating weather conditions that have led to a rise in mosquito populations.
BMO Atur Gaur said that five cases of dengue have been confirmed in the area, including one from Thangaon and additional cases in Bedipura of ChhotiKhargone. Private doctors have noted that patients are presenting with initial symptoms of dengue daily and those in serious condition are being referred to hospitals in Khargone or Indore for further treatment.
Patients exhibiting initial symptoms, such as low platelet counts, were being treated locally. However, a definitive diagnosis of dengue can only be confirmed through a test. Most patients recover within three days of treatment, but the health department is vigilant due to the potential severity of the disease.
In response to the rising cases, health officials, including BEE KN Shukla, have emphasised the importance of preventive measures to combat dengue. Key recommendations include cleaning drains regularly to eliminate mosquito breeding sites, and fogging in urban and rural areas to reduce adult mosquito populations. Community awareness campaigns have been initiated by ASHA workers and ANMs to educate residents about controlling mosquito larvae.
