Dengue in Khulna : 3 new patients admitted to hospital
Three new dengue patients hospitalised in the past 24 hours in Khulna.
Khulna, Aug 3 : Adding to the miseries of its residents, Bangladesh’s Covid hotspot Khulna reported three new dengue patients hospitalisation cases in the past 24 hours.
A dengue outbreak might totally cause the fragile healthcare system of the district to collapse, which is already battered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The patients have been identified as Sajib, 32, Atish, 4, and Lincon Ghosh, 10. All of them were admitted to Khulna Medical College and Hospital on Monday.
Director Md Rabiul Islam, however, told UNB that the dengue situation is well under control in the district. "We cannot say there is a dengue outbreak in Khulna. However, we are prepared for any situation," he said.
“We have decided to designate two wards in the hospital for dengue patients,” he added.
Meanwhile, Dr Mehedi Newaz of Khulna Medical College and Hospital said that the hospital needs self-separator machines to ensure platelet distribution in the treatment of dengue patients.
“Platelets can be separated from the blood of healthy people and given to dengue-infected people if necessary,” he added, reports UNB.
