Greater Santo Domingo, Azua and Baní were the districts that reported the highest number of dengue cases in the last weeks of epidemiological registration, a disease that has caused the death of 17 patients this year, the most affected being those under 19 years of age.
Until the end of last October, the country registered 2,457 cases of dengue, while hospitals, especially pediatric hospitals, continue to report the presence of cases.
One of these hospitals is the Robert Reid Cabral children's hospital, which this week has maintained an average of between 12 and 19 patients admitted, so its director, the infectologist Clemente Terrero recommends going to the doctor early on suspicion of this disease, which at least usually starts with a high fever. He said that in recent weeks the dengue wards of the hospital have been kept full, but that the most important thing is to see a doctor immediately to avoid complications in the country.
Dengue has the characteristic that the patient can decompensate quickly if not treated in time and go into shock.
