New Delhi , November 3,2021: Amid rising cases of dengue being reported in the national capital, there is no increase in the number of severe cases according to Dr Naval K. Vikram, Professor, Metabolic Research Group of the Department of Medicine at the All India Medical Institute of Science (AIIMS).
Speaking to ANI, Dr Vikram said, “Following lockdown the cases of dengue did not escalate last year but this time we do not have such restrictions. Moreover, it rained so much this season paving the way for vector-borne diseases. Cases are escalating but there is no increase in the number of severe cases. People who are being admitted are having mild to moderate symptoms, in rare cases severe too but not with warning signs.”
Dr Vikram stated that Dengue can affect the heart, liver and brain and it does not differentiate between age groups, adding that people infected with Dengue are also reporting multiple organ troubles.
