COVID-19 and Dengue Co-epidemic During the Second Wave of the Pandemic in Bangladesh: A Double Blow for an Overburdened Health-Care System
2022
Overview
Additionally, a high proportion of dengue patients have been infected with DEN-3, a deadly variant of the dengue virus that may induce severe illness and increase mortality risk. 9 According to the Directorate General Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Planning of Bangladesh (DGHS), the country has reported around 7763 dengue cases this year, including 36 fatalities. 6 From January 1, 2017, to August 8, 2021, the country reported a total of 120,429 dengue cases. There is not a single critical care bed per 10,000 people in Bangladesh. 13 The country recorded only 1217 intensive care unit (ICU) beds compared with 15,000 COVID-19 cases daily and more than 200 dengue cases. 6 Even in several outskirts of the capital, there are no single ICU beds in 16 hospitals, which worsens the situation. [...]the development of deadly COVID-19 and dengue coinfections, including coinfections recently demonstrated in Peru, 11 necessitates further study to determine the potential for this pair during the upcoming post-monsoon season, with increasing dengue infections. [...]an immediate and strict action plan must be needed and implemented immediately to reduce the risk of increasing coinfection and fatalities.
