Some 60 patients with dengue symptoms have been admitted in Lahore’s different hospitals as the deadly mosquito-borne disease has reemerged in Punjab. Without waiting for a complete end to the winter season, the deadly mosquitoes are back to their job, breeding in ponds of water and spreading the deadly fever with their bites, a private news channel reported. “No need to be afraid of the dengue fever. A timely diagnosis can save the patient’s life,” Doctor Hammad, Assistant Professor of Ganga Ram Hospital said.
With medics urging people to adopt precautionary measures, the Punjab government claims to have taken sufficient steps to prevent the disease from spreading by setting up special wards in hospitals. Moreover, the provincial health department is organising a three-day international conference on dengue on Tuesday, which officials said, would be attended by doctors from more than 70 countries, including Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Singapore.
