Bangladesh Ministry of Health: As of August 7 local time, the country has reported a total of 66,700 confirmed cases of dengue fever this year and 313 deaths. This number hit the highest record since 2000.

The country's health ministry said this year's dengue outbreak was unusually severe. More than 32,000 cases of infection have occurred in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, which has caused a shortage of medical resources in the capital region.

The huge rainfall in Bangladesh in summer has led to flooding, which has created favorable conditions for the breeding of mosquitoes, while insufficient medical resources and high population density have led to further large-scale spread of dengue fever.
Experts predict that the number of dengue fever infections in Bangladesh will continue to rise rapidly and reach its peak in September this year, when the number will be "terribly large".

According to reports, dengue fever is an acute mosquito-borne infectious disease prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. The World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out that dengue fever has become the fastest-spreading and most widespread infectious disease in recent years, and the number of global infection cases can reach 100 million to 400 million cases every year. Although more than 80% of dengue fever cases are only mild or asymptomatic infections, dengue fever can still be fatal if not treated in time.
