" KATHMANDU: The Ministry of Health and Population has made it clear that the number of dengue victims was yet to be ascertained.
Five persons died of dengue in the government hospitals but the number of the victims in the private hospitals was yet to be figured authentically, according to the Division of Epidemiology and Disease Control.
Division Director Dr G D Thakur informed the meeting of a task force on implementing the direction of the dengue control committee of the Legislature-parliament, committee on women, children and social welfare today. However, he said private hospitals have been written for sending facts about the deaths.
He added that some 888 persons had their blood tested dengue virus from Dhangadi, Butwal, and Bharatpur since the month of Shravan till date where five died of the disease.
First seen in 2006 in Nepal, the dengue is transmitted from one person to another through mosquito. People get unusual fever with dengue virus."
