" Bangalore: Bangaloreans may be relieved that the monsoon has brought respite from the summer heat.
However, along with the rains have come diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya and viral fever.
With dengue already claiming one life in the city, doctors are taking no chances and are suggesting dengue tests for any patient complaining of fever for two to three days.
In fact, one city hospital has received 25 confirmed cases of dengue — 15 paediatric patients and 10 adults — in the last two weeks.
“Virology tests can be done only at the National Institute of Virology, which is a costly affair. However, blood tests are positive,” said Dr H Paramesh, director, Lakeside Hospital.
He added that patients who were attacked by the dengue virus for the second time were more prone to developing the Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS)."
