In recent years, 17,844 cases of dengue fever were reported in the state with 10 deaths in 2017.
Since then, it has declined.
In 2018, 4,848 cases and 4 deaths were reported.

Dengue is a viral disease that spreads by infected Aedes mosquito bites that can produce high-quality fever, retro-orbital pain, pain in the joints, mialgia and ordinary rashes.
The form of severe dengue fever involves vomiting, hematemesis, and bleeding gums.
Because there are no vaccines and special care, cases are managed by symptoms.
Dengue can be fatal, if it is not treated and managed on time, the experts said.
While severe Covid cases can see extreme decreases at oxygen saturation levels, fever patients often witness severe loss in platelet counts.
A health expert said: “There is fluctuations in the number of cases of dengue fever year after year.
However, the decline in the number of cases recently does not mean the relationship.
There may be many factors.
First, for fear of Covid, many people might treat themselves and avoid homes It hurts even if they have symptoms.
Because the symptoms of dengue virus are sometimes similar to viral fever, people may be confused and treated for all forms of other virus fever.
“Other reasons can be because of locking, restrictions, no schools and work from home, many of them may have avoided mosquito bites by living in their homes.
However, we always have to be careful because we approach the rainy season.”
