A dengue epidemic kills 242 in Paraguay
Paraguay is in the worst dengue epidemic in its history, with 242 deaths so far this year, a figure that could skyrocket in hot months, so that the Government seeks to involve society as a prevention campaign.

Paraguay is in the worst dengue epidemic in its history, with 242 deaths so far this year, a figure that could skyrocket in hot months, so that the Government seeks to involve society as a prevention campaign.
That combination of forces was evident in neighborhoods of Asunción, Tacumbú as one of the most affected, where health workers and brigades councilors joined mobilization "Together against dengue", an initiative of the Paraguayan Confederation of Cooperatives.
...
Worryingly also the imminent arrival of summer and the possible landing dengue serotype 4, which would combine forces with the 2, which has caused almost all deaths of 2013.
Among the factors that explain the increase in deaths (172 more than in 2012), the experts cite the simultaneous circulation of these serotypes, immune imbalances in people with previous dengue boxes and self-medication.
