TRIBUNNEWS.COM – Sad news has rocked India again, to be precise in western Uttar Pradesh. A mysterious fever outbreak strikes the residents of Uttar Pradesh with symptoms of high fever, joint pain, headache, dehydration and nausea. Rashes were also found on the patient’s upper and lower limbs.
Launching the Times of India, Saturday (4/9/2021), the mysterious epidemic has claimed the lives of 75 people, 56 of whom are children.
Surprisingly, despite having some symptoms similar to Covid-19, none of the victims who died were diagnosed as positive for Covid-19.
According to the BBC, doctors from various districts of Uttar Pradesh believe that the disease is caused by a mosquito-borne dengue virus, but that the intensity is more severe. This is because the results of blood tests show that a number of patients have decreased platelet levels, identical to those experienced by patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
“Patients, especially children in hospitals, die very quickly,” said Dr. Neeta Kulshrestha, senior health official in Firozabad district, told BBC News.
Dengue fever is a virus that is transmitted from the bite of the female Aedes aegypti mosquito. The spread of this mosquito is very wide, especially in tropical and subtropical areas around the world, where it is easier for mosquitoes to thrive.
Although most cases are mild, severe dengue can cause death if not treated immediately. Patients with severe dengue can experience damage to blood vessels and lymph nodes, then blood plasma leakage occurs.
Patients will also lose a lot of fluids even though they have received fluid intake. In this condition, the organ system declines to the point of death.
The increasing number of dengue cases in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic
Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) found about 390 million dengue infections worldwide. Infection and death rates have also increased dramatically in recent decades, quadrupling between 2000 and 2015 for a total of 4,032 deaths.
How about in Indonesia? The numbers are no less worrying. Launching Kompas, the Ministry of Health noted that until July 2021, the total number of dengue cases in Indonesia had reached 20,290 cases with 171 deaths. This number has increased from a total of 16,230 cases with 147 deaths on June 14, 2021.
