A 54-year-old man died Tuesday morning in the hospital where he was in intensive care for two days, the government said in a statement.

Despite the refreshing temperatures in this South Pacific archipelago, about ten cases of this disease, transmitted by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti, are reported every day.

"These are cases biologically confirmed by our sentinel network, which is representative but partial," Jean-Paul Grangeon, Deputy Director of Dass, told the press, estimating the actual number of cases four to five times higher.

"The cool season has slowed down the epidemic but has not stopped it, and that is what worries us because it is now or never that we can stop it," he added, fearing a recovery Intense dengue fever with summer.

Three of the four serotypes of dengue are currently present in New Caledonia. Since January, 4,267 cases have been reported and 11 people, including a six-month-old baby, have died after contracting the disease, which mainly causes fever and joint pain.

A study is under way to try to identify the reasons for the virulence of this epidemic, characterized by a high rate of inpatients of 13%.
