A North Delhi Municipal Corporation employee, deployed for checking mosquito breeding in the area, has died of dengue in the first death caused by the vectorborne disease this year.

Tarun (26), the domestic breeding checker (DBC) who died on Sunday, was apparently bitten by the aedes aegypti mosquito, the dengue carrier, during his routine checks and awareness programmes, official sources said.

A local doctor had referred Tarun to a tertiary care hospital after he showed symptoms of dengue on August 28. He was later admitted to Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh where he died on Sunday afternoon. The hospital authorities said they had sent the report to the Corporation on Monday. Though the civic body refused to confirm the cause of his death, the incident reflects authorities' failure to deal with the dengue menace that grips the city almost every year.

A 41-year-old man from Malwani died of suspected dengue on Friday, adding to concerns created by two consecutive dengue deaths in Goregaon this week. The latest death has highlighted how doctors and hospitals are clearly unprepared to tackle the dengue threat in the city.

Devendra Singh's family said he was shunted from three hospitals. The family spent over Rs 65,000 on Singh's treatment, but does not have a clear answer to what killed him. Doctors at Malad's Riddhi Vinayak Hospital, where he was treated last, claimed his dengue report was "equivocal". "He did have classic dengue symptoms. When he came to our hospital, his platelet count was 18,000 (the normal range is 1.5-4 lakh per l)," said intensivist Dr Vinay Goyal. The hospital has stated Singh's cause of death as septicemia shock, multi-organ failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The hospital said it did not get time to run confirmatory dengue tests on the patient.
