The recent burden of dengue infection in Bangladesh: A serious public health issue
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2023
Dengue is a rapidly increasing vector-borne disease with a high burden in South and Southeast Asia. This article presents an overview of the current dengue situation in Bangladesh, highlighting the critical public health challenges caused by this infectious disease. Between January and September 2023, a total of 203406 people were infected , and 989 people died, with a case fatality rate of 0.49%. Of these, 96.1% of infections and 95.2% of deaths occurred between July and September. Both infection and mortality rates showed a significant and positive correlation with population density and air quality index. Other environmental and socioeconomic factors may influence the burden of dengue infection. These include temperature, rainfall, humidity, unplanned urbanization, and water storage and waste management practices. To reduce transmission and mortality rates, it is urgent to prioritize early treatment of dengue cases and take measures to address the risk factors associated with dengue infection in the country. © 20XX

... 7 According to the findings of the Bangladesh National Health Accounts (BNHA-V) study, the dengue situation in Bangladesh is causing an economic burden in our health sector, just as it is in other lower and middleincome countries. 8 Between 2012 and 2019, the largest dengue cases were reported in Dhaka, the capital and most populous city in Bangladesh, with a population of almost 16 million. 9,10 According to several studies, recovery from DENV infection is associated with permanent immunity against that serotype, whereas infection with different serotypes results in only transitory and partial protection, increasing the risk of severe dengue. ...
Recent outbreak of dengue in Bangladesh: A threat to public health

  • Apr 2023
Background and Aims The dengue virus is widespread throughout Bangladesh and significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. One effective method for preventing further dengue epidemics is to reduce mosquito breeding at the most opportune period each year. This study aims to determine dengue prevalence in 2022 by comparing previous years' data and estimating the period of this disease's most significant incidence. Methods From the beginning of 2008–December 15, 2022, we looked at the monthly reports of cases made to the Bangladesh Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control, and Research. Results According to our findings, there were 61089 confirmed dengue cases in 2022, with 269 fatalities ‐ the highest annual death toll for this disease since 2000. Almost one‐third (32.14%) of all dengue deaths in Bangladesh occurred in 2022 (1 January–15 December), highlighting the severity of the threat posed by this disease in the coming year. Furthermore, we observe that the months in the second half of any year in Bangladesh are the most at risk for dengue transmission. In 2022, Dhaka city and Chittagong are hit the hardest (incidence: 63.07% vs. 14.42%; morality: 63.34% vs. 24.16%), showing the relevance of population density in spreading this fatal disease. Conclusion Statistics show an increase in dengue cases every day, and the year 2022 will be marked as the peak of the disease's death prevalence. Both the individuals and the government of Bangladesh need to take action to reduce the dissemination of this epidemic. If not, the country will soon be in great peril.

... This may be because of prolonged symptom onset to hospital arrival time [15]. Revascularization procedures are frequently delayed in Bangladesh, where the majority (67%) of healthcare expenditure is out-of-pocket [40]. Most revascularization procedures are often delayed during which patients and family secure financial resources for the intervention, a practice not compatible with treatment guidelines for acute MI of the European Society of Cardiology [41]. ...

Background There is a paucity of data regarding acute phase (in-hospital and 30-day) major adverse cardiac events (MACE) following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Bangladesh. This study aimed to document MACE during the acute phase post-STEMI to provide information. Methods We enrolled STEMI patients of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from August 2017 to October 2018 and followed up through 30 days post-discharge for MACE, defined as the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization. Demographic information, cardiovascular risk factors, and clinical data were registered in a case report form. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis to identify potential risk factors for MACE. Results A total of 601 patients, mean age 51.6 ± 10.3 years, 93% male, were enrolled. The mean duration of hospital stay was 3.8 ± 2.4 days. We found 37 patients (6.2%) to experience an in-hospital event, and 45 (7.5%) events occurred within the 30 days post-discharge. In univariate analysis, a significantly increased risk of developing 30-day MACE was observed in patients with more than 12 years of formal education, diabetes mellitus, or a previous diagnosis of heart failure. In a multivariate analysis, the risk of developing 30-day MACE was increased in patients with heart failure (hazard ratio = 4.65; 95% CI 1.64–13.23). Conclusions A high risk of in-hospital and 30-day MACE in patients with STEMI exists in Bangladesh. Additional resources should be allocated providing guideline-recommended treatment for patients with myocardial infarction in Bangladesh.

Clinical Spectrum of Dengue in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Northern Bangladesh
Article
Full-text available
  • Nov 2023
Background: Dengue is an emerging major infectious disease which causes frequent outbreaks affecting millions. The complex interplay between virus serotype, host immune response and environmental factor set a series of changes in dengue presentation over the years. Materials and method: This was a cross-sectional, observational study conducted on 100 diagnosed dengue patients attending a tertiary teaching hospital. The study participants were divided into severe and non-severe categories and compared in terms of their symptoms, severity and lab findings. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Result: Majority of the study participants were younger. Female participants were more than male. Apart from fever, headache was found to be the commonest symptom in general. Epistaxis and melaena were significantly higher among severe group than non-severe peers. Gastrointestinal symptoms were frequently present among both groups. Conclusion: Most of the cases of dengue patient didn’t suffer from life threatening infection but when the infection is severe, bleeding manifestation can be a predictor of the onset of critical illness.
