Already battered by a worsening coronavirus crisis, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/bangladesh">Bangladesh</a> now faces a sharp spike in dengue cases.

In the month of July alone, 1,920 cases have been reported, a 600 per cent jump from June when 272 cases were reported.

At least three people have died, dengue cases have reached 2,292 this year, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).

Bangladesh's struggling healthcare system, already on the brink of collapse as a result of the third wave of coronavirus&nbsp;has been further weakened by dengue outbreaks.

In the past 24 hours, 239 COVID-19-related deaths were reported across the country, bringing the death toll to 20,255.

According to the DGHS, 15,271 new coronavirus cases were reported during the same period, bringing the total caseload to 1,226,253.

Except for about 70 cases, nearly all of Bangladesh's dengue victims live in Dhaka, home to about 17 million people.

Difficult diagnosis due to similar symptoms

With over 100,000 cases of dengue in Bangladesh and 179 fatalities, 2019 was the most severe dengue outbreak ever recorded in the country.

According to DGHS data, only 1,405 new cases were diagnosed throughout the country last year, and seven people died.

This year,&nbsp;however, due to the similar symptoms shared by the two illnesses, the diagnosis of both illnesses has proved to be complicated.

Given the high number of patients admitted to the hospital due to coronavirus,&nbsp;dengue patients are facing&nbsp;difficulty getting beds.

After Covid, now variants of dengue

The World Health Organization reports that dengue viruses have four distinct strands. Recovery from infection by one of these strands provides lifelong immunity to that strand; however, subsequent infection by the other strands come with greater severity.

This year, the country's Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control, and Research (IEDCR) reported a high number of dengue patients having been infected with DEN-3, a dengue variant that can increase mortality risks.

Bangladesh has previously been targeted by outbreaks of both DEN-1 and DEN-2, but this year DEN-3 is more common, and both DEN-3 and DEN-4 can cause plasma leakage, respiratory distress, and organ dysfunction.

Struggling with coronavirus, Bangladesh faces dengue threat

Singapore was one of the countries which was hit by the re-emerging cases of coronavirus in the last month. As the country struggled to bring the coronavirus cases under control, it has been hit by an outbreak of dengue -- and it is the worst outbreak the country has ever faced.

More than 14,000 dengue cases have been reported in the city since the start of the year, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA).

Experts from the agency are predicting that the total number of dengue cases might exceed the previous highest number of cases, which was 22,170 in 2013.

Till now, 16 people have lost their lives to dengue in the present year. This is twice the number of deaths that took place in 2013, which was the worst dengue outbreak in the history of Singapore.

For the past three weeks, dengue cases have been exceeding 1,000, and a total of 1,468 cases were reported in the past one week.

The Singapore government has now increased the checks&nbsp;to remove potential mosquito breeding habitats at public areas and housing estates, and has also started inspecting various premises for any possible outbreak and sanitisation. Till now, 6,900 premises have undergone inspection and vector control.

One major reason for the dramatic increase in the&nbsp; number of cases may also be the intense lockdown that can cause more residential&nbsp;mosquito breeding.

The Singapore government is&nbsp;&nbsp;urging people to keep their surroundings clean and cooperate with the experts in dengue testing, amid the pandemic.
