      Dengue fever has claimed a third life in New Caledonia.

      The mosquito-borne virus is rampant in the French territory with three deaths in the past month.

      All the dead are women who had not travelled in the three weeks prior to their deaths and had succumbed within a few days of contracting the virus.

      A doctor at the Health and Social Affairs Directorate, Jean-Paul Grangeon, said each day between 10 and 12 people are hospitalised and the peak of the epidemic is yet to be reached...

            The zika factor aggravating dengue?

            By WebmasterPublished on 05/05/2017 at 21:05

            Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 2,500 cases of dengue and 7 deaths have been reported in New Caledonia.

            Among the deceased are young people who were in good health. The Pasteur Institute of Paris is cautiously advancing the path of a previous contamination by the zika virus that had affected the Caillou between 2013 and 2014 and which had also affected more than half of the population in Polynesia.

                Dengue makes an eleventh victim in New Caledonia


                Noumea, France | AFP | Tuesday 03/07/2017 - The dengue epidemic that has been under way since January in New Caledonia has made an eleventh victim while the disease continues to circulate in spite of the cool season, authorities said on Tuesday.

                A 54-year-old man died Tuesday morning in the hospital where he was in intensive care for two days, the government said in a statement.

                Despite the refreshing temperatures in this South Pacific archipelago, about ten cases of this disease, transmitted by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti, are reported every day.

                "These are cases biologically confirmed by our sentinel network, which is representative but partial," Jean-Paul Grangeon, Deputy Director of Dass, told the press, estimating the actual number of cases four to five times higher.

                "The cool season has slowed down the epidemic but has not stopped it, and that is what worries us because it is now or never that we can stop it," he added, fearing a recovery Intense dengue fever with summer.

                Three of the four serotypes of dengue are currently present in New Caledonia. Since January, 4,267 cases have been reported and 11 people, including a six-month-old baby, have died after contracting the disease, which mainly causes fever and joint pain.

                A study is under way to try to identify the reasons for the virulence of this epidemic, characterized by a high rate of inpatients of 13%.
