With no specific treatment or vaccine available, dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, has been a global health concern for decades. While it is typically associated with tropical regions in Southeast Asia and Latin America, recent outbreaks in Africa have raised alarms among health officials.
More than 1,300 people have been infected with
dengue fever; two have died as a result of the latest outbreak in Sudan, the Sudanese Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday.
At the moment, 1,344 cases of the disease have been registered in the country, and two have resulted in the death of the patient, according to Dr Laila Hamad El Nil, Director of the Health Response Department at the Ministry of Health, adding that the largest number of infected are in Umbadda and Karary districts in Sudan's capital Khartoum.
Hamad El Nil added that at least 2,482 suspected cases are currently being examined by the Health Response Department.
She noted that the first cases of dengue fever were recorded in the central state of North Kordofan on November 2, 2022, before spreading to 12 of the country's 18 federal states.
