MP: Woman dies of dengue infection
Bhopal: A 40-year-old woman who was suffering from dengue infection died at a private hospital here, her family said on Saturday.
This was possibly the first dengue-related death in Madhya Pradesh during this monsoon season, said a health official.
The Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission (MPHRC) had earlier this week sought a reply from the state government about the steps taken to check the mosquito-borne viral infection as several cases were reported in Jabalpur district.
Neetu Sen, a resident of Guna, was rushed to Bhopal on August 17 as she had dengue symptoms. She died at a private hospital on Thursday, her husband Dilip Sen said.
The Jabalpur district in the state has recorded 176 cases of dengue in over a month but no death, said Ajay Kureel, spokesperson of the Seth Govind Das District Hospital.
