One more succumbs to dengue
TNN | May 20, 2012, 05.33AM IST

TIRUNELVELI: As dengue continued to haunt several villages in Tirunelveli, officials of neighbouring Virudhunagar district quietly declared at least 30 villages here as endemic as the disease spread rapidly. Health officials in Virudhunagar sprang into action after an eight-year-old boy of Varaloti village died two days ago apparently of dengue.
...
Officials are concerned over the spread of the disease to Virudhunagar district which borders Tirunelveli, where the death toll rose to 19 since the dengue outbreak in April this year. District officials struggled to check the spread, as villagers, mostly children, died due to the disease. On Saturday, a 14-year-old boy was reported dead at the government hospital in Tirunelveli. "He was admitted three days ago in an advanced stage. Doctors from GH as well as experts from Chennai took all efforts to cure him, but in vain," said Tirunelveli GH dean M Manoharan.

...
Meanwhile, as 22 persons, mostly kids, have died of dengue, residents of Kadayanallur, where the killer fever first started in the district, said delay in supply of drinking water and bad sanitation were key reasons for the outbreak. So far, the fever has claimed 20 lives, said a senior health department officer.

Distribution of drinking water by the municipality only once a week to residents was the reason for the outbreak , allege residents adding that as the sanitation condition was poor in Kadayanallur, most of the viral diseases originate from here.
