MADURAI: A 13-year-old girl, who had been suffering from dengue, succumbed at the Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH) here on Monday. Swasthiga, 13, daughter of Natarajan of Anna Street in Palanganatham, tested positive for dengue and succumbed in the morning. Sources from the hospital said she had been suffering from fever for several days. She was treated in a private hospital in Madurai before being admitted in GRH on Saturday afternoon. Since she was found with symptoms of dengue, her blood sample was collected and sent to a virology lab in the Department of Microbiology in Madurai Medical College.

The results obtained on the next day confirmed dengue. The girl was isolated and the required treatment was provided to her. Her condition deteriorated on Sunday night following which intensive treatment was provided.

Gurgaon, Haryana

Dengue cases broke all records in 2012

GURGAON: Dengue cases trebled in 2012 as compared to the previous year. If private hospitals' reports are to be taken into consideration, the figure for dengue fever broke all previous records. Besides that there was no slowdown in malaria cases in 2012 drawing attention to poor sanitation conditions of the city.

Health department officials said that 469 cases of dengue and one death were reported in 2012, while 599 malaria cases and six swine flu cases were reported this year. However, according to private hospitals, around 2,000 dengue cases had been reported, besides seven deaths. Last year, 156 dengue cases were reported.

The huge gap in figures the government and private hospitals reflected defensive attitude of the district health department rather than focusing on preventive measures.
