The ongoing dengue outbreak in Bangladesh is becoming increasingly complex due to changes in the nature of the virus, according to the Director General of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Prof. Dr. Md. Abu Jafar.

He stated that the number of severe cases has risen, with many patients now requiring intensive monitoring. As a result, there is a growing need for portable ultrasound machines and bedside hematocrit devices to enhance patient care.

While recent outbreaks in districts like Barguna appear to be under control, nationwide alertness has been heightened. In the last 24 hours alone, 406 new dengue patients have been admitted to hospitals. So far this year, over 13,000 people have been hospitalized with dengue, and 52 have died.

Dr. Jafar urged the public to seek immediate medical attention if fever develops and to strictly follow official health advisories. The World Health Organization has also provided essential medical equipment to aid in dengue management.

Six leading U.S. medical organizations have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Department of Health and Human Services, and the CDC, challenging recent decisions regarding vaccination guidelines. They argue that halting vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women is unscientific and poses a risk to public health. The lawsuit demands that COVID-19 vaccines be reinstated in the recommended schedule through proper scientific and legal channels. Physicians involved warn that policy decisions lacking scientific basis could harm public health.

In the past 24 hours, dengue fever claimed 3 more lives and led to 425 new hospitalizations across Bangladesh. This brings the total number of dengue deaths in 2025 to 51, with 13,188 reported infections so far.
