Dengue Fever - Bangladesh

Bangladesh saw the first dengue fever cases in 2000 and that time through 2017, the country reported from a few hundred cases a year to up to 6,000 a year. In 2018, the country reported more than 10,000 cases and 26 deaths. And then came 2019… Bangladesh has recorded some 101,000 dengue cases this year, including 133 deaths (officially). Dengue is now “endemic” in Bangladesh.
