Dengue is a vector-borne viral disease caused by multiple serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) of the dengue virus. It has been a public health concern since 2000 in Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh experienced a higher prevalence and death rate in the year 2022 than the previous year surpassing the COVID-19 situation. While climatic factors had always been a prominent reason for dengue incidence, reports stated that DEN 4 serotype was identified for the first time in the country, which made the dengue cases worse. In this article, we presented the 5 years prevalence of hospitalization and death cases owing to dengue fever and also provided a comparison of death cases caused by dengue and COVID-19 in Bangladesh. We described the possible reasons for the sudden surges of dengue infection and mentioned the actions led by the government to deal with this dengue occurrence. Lastly, we recommend a few strategies to counter the future outbreak of dengue infection in the country.
登革热是一种由登革病毒的多种血清型（DENV-1、DENV-2、DENV-3和DENV-4）引起的媒介传播病毒性疾病。自2000年以来，它一直是孟加拉国的一个公共卫生问题。然而，孟加拉国在2022年的发病率和死亡率高于前一年，超过了新冠疫情期间的情况。虽然气候因素一直是登革热发病的一个突出原因，但报告称该国首次发现了DEN 4血清型，这使得登革热病例情况更加糟糕。在本文中，我们展示了5年期间因登革热住院和死亡病例的患病率，并对孟加拉国登革热和新冠疫情导致的死亡病例进行了比较。我们描述了登革热感染突然激增的可能原因，并提及了政府为应对此次登革热疫情所采取的行动。最后，我们推荐了一些应对该国未来登革热感染爆发的策略。
