</td></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="3"> Lucknow, October 9: With Aligarh making an entry into the list of dengue-affected places with seven cases today, 19 fresh cases were added to the Uttar Pradesh Health Directorate?s official records, pushing the number of patients stung by the deadly fever virus to 233.
The fresh cases include a senior resident doctor of Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science (SGPGI), Lucknow, who tested positive for dengue today. Sunil Verma, the senior resident, was working in the SGPGI Blood Bank and had been showing symptoms of dengue for the last three days, following which an ELISA test was done on him. He was admitted to the Haematology ward this evening.
Later, members of the Resident Doctor Association met SGPGI officials and demanded treatment of stagnant water in their accommodations.
?The condition of the place where we live is pathetic. Moreover, due to civil work going on there, waterlogging is occurring even in our rooms. This is a serious problem and if not controlled in time many others can catch the virus,? said association secretary S. Goel.
?We will again meet the officials tomorrow and request them to at least get fogging done in our accommodations here,? he added.
Meanwhile, during the ongoing survey conducted by the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD), various breeding places for aedes aegypti larvae were found in the residential areas of Varanasi, especially near hotels. The NICD officials will submit its report to the local chief medical officer for specific fogging in the affected areas.
?We began the survey three days back and our teams have covered around 80 houses in Varanasi itself and have found various breeding places for the aedes mosquito. The survey will continue for three more days and the results will then be given to the Varanasi CMO for action,? said Dr Shaukat Kamal, Assistant Director, NICD, Varanasi.
On the other hand, following various reports of patients being cheated by quacks, Vector Borne and Communicable Diseases Director OP Pathak today made a public appeal that no one should approach any local doctor or try home medication to treat the disease.
?In case anybody is showing dengue symptoms, they should approach proper government hospitals. This will help assess the true condition of patients,? he said.
