The dengue virus is widespread throughout Bangladesh and significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. One effective method for preventing further dengue epidemics is to reduce mosquito breeding at the most opportune period each year. This study aims to determine dengue prevalence in 2022 by comparing previous years' data and estimating the period of this disease's most significant incidence.
From the beginning of 2008-December 15, 2022, we looked at the monthly reports of cases made to the Bangladesh Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control, and Research.
According to our findings, there were 61089 confirmed dengue cases in 2022, with 269 fatalities - the highest annual death toll for this disease since 2000. Almost one-third (32.14%) of all dengue deaths in Bangladesh occurred in 2022 (1 January-15 December), highlighting the severity of the threat posed by this disease in the coming year. Furthermore, we observe that the months in the second half of any year in Bangladesh are the most at risk for dengue transmission. In 2022, Dhaka city and Chittagong are hit the hardest (incidence: 63.07% vs. 14.42%; morality: 63.34% vs. 24.16%), showing the relevance of population density in spreading this fatal disease.
Statistics show an increase in dengue cases every day, and the year 2022 will be marked as the peak of the disease's death prevalence. Both the individuals and the government of Bangladesh need to take action to reduce the dissemination of this epidemic. If not, the country will soon be in great peril.
登革热病毒在孟加拉国广泛传播,对发病率和死亡率有重大影响。预防登革热进一步流行的一种有效方法是在每年最适宜的时期减少蚊子滋生。本研究旨在通过比较往年数据确定2022年登革热的流行情况,并估算该疾病发病最显著的时期。
从2008年初至2022年12月15日,我们查看了向孟加拉国流行病学、疾病控制与研究机构提交的月度病例报告。
根据我们的研究结果,2022年有61089例确诊登革热病例,269人死亡,这是自2000年以来该疾病最高的年度死亡人数。孟加拉国几乎三分之一(32.14%)的登革热死亡病例发生在2022年(1月1日至12月15日),凸显了该疾病在来年构成的威胁的严重性。此外,我们观察到孟加拉国每年下半年的月份是登革热传播风险最高的时期。2022年,达卡市和吉大港受影响最严重(发病率:63.07%对14.42%;死亡率:63.34%对24.16%),表明人口密度在传播这种致命疾病方面的相关性。
统计数据显示登革热病例每天都在增加,2022年将被标记为该疾病死亡流行率的峰值。孟加拉国的个人和政府都需要采取行动减少这种流行病的传播。否则,该国很快将面临巨大危险。
