The number of death due to dengue has increased considerable over a period of two months. Expert suggests that the mosquito borne viral disease is causing health scare in the country. In such a scenario, prevention and early detection of dengue is the only solution.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the incidence of dengue has risen by 30 fold in the past 50 years. It is estimated that globally there will be 50-100 million dengue cases annually in the coming decade. India is slated to be the country with the world’s highest dengue burden, with about 34 per cent of all cases occurring here.

 Some ways to prevent and fight dengue effectively:

• Inform your local municipal committee to disinfect your area with insecticide.

• The basic step is to empty out flower pots to avoid breeding of mosquitoes.

• Clear out leaves and stagnant water in your area, it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

• Clearing stagnant water from coolers is also important.

• If you have any open manhole, gutters or drains it is important to cover these openings.

• Use mosquito repellents and mosquito nets.

• Do not wear short sleeves and shorts during the monsoons. Use mosquito repellant creams or nets at home. Ensure there is no source of mosquito breeding in and around your home or work place.

• Look out for sudden high grade fever, accompanied by nausea, body ache and stomach pain.  Go to the doctor immediately and get your blood tested.

• Drink plenty of fluids.

According to experts, in the first five days all dengue tests may be negative. Do not give aspirin in the suspected case of dengue as it can further disturb the platelet functions. The period of maximum risk for shock is between the third and seventh day of illness. This tends to coincide with resolution of fever.
