After swine flu, dengue on rise in Delhi

Reported by NDTV.com on Thursday, 29 October 2009 (on October 29, 2009)

Delhi saw a fall in the number of swine flu cases this month. And while that's very comforting, what's now causing concern in Delhi and its neighbouring areas is the sharp rise in the number of dengue cases being reported. ''In the month of September, we had 50 patients who were admitted with dengue. In October, we have crossed 200. And if this can happen in one hospital, the trend would be the same at other hospitals,'' says Dr. N. K. Chaturvedi, Medical Superintendent, Ram Manohar Lohiya Hospital.
