Another man died of dengue fever here in a local hospital on Thursday.
According to reports, Farhan, resident of Gulistan-e-Jauhar, was under treatment for the last one week but could not survive.
This is the second death that occurred in the current year due to the fever in the city. Earlier, a 20-yaer-old girl had died due to the dengue fever. Doctors told media that the mosquito causing the dengue fever becomes active in hot areas and Karachi’s weather condition favors the mosquito. The doctors have advised the people to get anti-mosquito spray; close windows from mosquitoes could enter home, cover all food items and water pots to avoid the disease.
