Thiruvananthapuram: The next two weeks will be crucial in the spread of fever in the state, according to the health department. There will probably be a steady rise in cases. The health department will shortly conduct an emergency meeting to discuss about this issue. People were warned after 48-year-old Sushila, a resident of Vitura, Thiruvananthapuram, passed away today due to fever. She was undergoing treatment at the medical college.
It is now a serious concern because the number of flu patients in the state has been rising steadily. The health department decided to host an emergency meeting in light of the evaluation that the next two weeks are extremely crucial. The Health Department recommends against self-medicating and suggests going to the hospital for care if the fever lasts longer than two days.
Yesterday, 12,694 residents of the state sought treatment for fever. 2,194 cases in the Malappuram district make up the majority of the infected. Currently, 3 people have passed away from fever, of which 2 have been suspected to have had dengue fever and one, rat fever. While 250 persons sought medical attention for dengue symptoms, only 55 of them were diagnosed with the disease. 54 people have died from dengue disease so far this year. It is estimated that 84 people died due to rat fever. The hotspot method of surveillance is currently used to identify issue regions for influenza prevention. The failure of pre-monsoon sanitary efforts and climate change are cites as the reasons for the spread of fever.
