Dengue raises head in Indiranagar
July 27, 2012 DC Bengaluru

Dreaded dengue claimed the life of one more woman on Wednesday evening, taking the toll in the city and surrounding areas to five over the last few days. But the BBMP, which has confirmed only two deaths till now, again refused to say that Wednesday?s death was due to dengue. The latest victim, Shobha Rajkumar (33), a resident of Jeevanbimanagar, was in hospital for the last one week. She was diagnosed with suspected dengue fever and died on Wednesday evening at a private hospital in Indiranagar. She is survived by her husband Rajkumar, who is a driver, and 14-year-old son.

2 more dengue deaths in city
July 29, 2012 DC Bengaluru

The BBMP first downplayed the suspected dengue deaths and the spread of the disease across Bengaluru. Now, the civic body is allegedly playing dirty by threatening hospital authorities to refrain from giving reports about positive dengue cases. On Saturday, two more people succumbed to dengue fever in the city taking the toll so far to seven. Aftab Alam (21), a resident of Nagavara, and Manjula (26) of Herohalli in Madeshnagar died on Saturday afternoon.

BBMP trying to hush up deaths
July 31, 2012 DC Bengaluru

Around eight people have died and over 200 are suffering from dengue fever as the BBMP has failed to keep mosquitoes under control in the city. What is worse is that the BBMP is not willing to face facts and may even be fudging the figures of positive cases and deaths. It has already expressed annoyance with private hospitals for declaring that deaths are due to dengue.

Aftab Alam, a resident of Nagawara was admitted to a hospital for treatment. His report states clearly that he was suffering from dengue fever and had a low platelet count. He did not respond to the treatment and died on Saturday. The BBMP allegedly persuaded the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Hospital authorities to issue another report stating that his was not a dengue death.
...
The BBMP claims the deaths are due to multiple-organ failure, refusing to acknowledge what caused the organs to fail.

KOLKATA: Dengue is swarming the city this season. Doctors agree that it may be the worst outbreak since 2005.

The actual intensity is still being assessed, but the indications are grim. Hospitals on the fringes have admitted scores of dengue patients in the last four weeks but the actual number of victims is many times more because only about 20% cases need hospitalization.
