6th person dies of dengue
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
6th person dies of dengue   August 13th, 2013 |  Author: Editorial  The Ministry of Health and the National Environment Agency (NEA) have announced today (13 Aug) in a joint statement that a 6th person has died of dengue fever. It is the 5th dengue death confirmed to have originated in Singapore this year, with one case likely originating in Indonesia. The deceased is a 52-year-old Chinese male who lived at Corporation Walk. The patient was first seen at Jurong Polyclinic on 29 June 2013 with a 2-day history of fever. He returned to the polyclinic on 4 July 2013 as he was still having fever. He was referred by the Polyclinic to the National University Hospital Emergency Department and was admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit on the same day. He was later diagnosed with Dengue Shock Syndrome. The patient’s condition improved transiently after dialysis and supportive therapy but he remained critically ill with low blood count. The patient’s condition deteriorated after he developed pneumonia with septic shock on 11 August. He passed away today. According to NEA, “The patient’s residence was in a dengue cluster of 3 cases which closed on 17 July 2013 and 2 breeding habitats were found in July, one in a vase and another in a flower pot.” NEA said its inspectors will continue with checks in the area and residents are encouraged to cooperate fully. They should also remain vigilant and clear any stagnant water in their homes and the vicinity. The statement said, “We are still in the midst of dengue season in Singapore. With our low population herd immunity, we would like to urge everyone to continue remaining vigilant to take appropriate precautions to prevent mosquito breeding by doing the Mozzie Wipeout weekly, so as to help sustain the current downward trend in mosquito breeding spots.” As at 3pm today (13 Aug), 14,363 cases of dengue have already been reported since the beginning of this year. At present, there are 42 active dengue clusters in Singapore [Link]. On 25 June, there were 11,217 cases. In 49 days since 25 June, there has been an increase of 3,146 cases.
