Residents in Hanoi capital infected with dengue virus type DEN-3
Along with dengue virus types DEN-1 and DEN-2 in circulation, health professionals in Hanoi have recently detected another type of DEN-3 in blood samples of several infected cases throughout the city.​

According to health experts, dengue fever is typically caused by four dengue virus types - DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4, of which DEN-1 and DEN-2 are the most common types, accounting for 90% of the infections.

A person infected with a virus type can gain lifelong immunity to that type, although they remain at risk of contracting others. Particularly, repeat infections can prove to be highly dangerous since the disease is often more severe compared to the first infection.

The Hanoi Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that the capital has since the beginning of the year recorded a total of 33,489 cases of dengue, a figure 2.5 times higher than the same period from last year. So far, four patients have died of the virus.

Dengue infections have been detected in all 30 districts and towns across Hanoi, mostly in districts of Ha Dong, Hoang Mai, Thanh Oai, Phu Xuyen, Dong Da, and Thanh Tri.​..
