Nearly 800 people have been detected with the virus this month. "Several other viral infections are in circulation now. So, doctors should refrain from indiscriminate dengue testing as that may distort the real picture," said Dr Hemant Thacker, consultant physician with Breach Candy Hospital. The incidence of dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease, rose since the onset of the monsoon, with cases and fatalities peaking in September and October.
Infectious diseases expert Dr Om Srivastava, who consults with Jaslok Hospital, said that a couple of dengue cases are trickling in daily even as hospitalizations are few. "Dengue usually retreats by the end of October, but this year has been exceptional. We have to wait and watch for another fortnight and remain alert," he said.
Dr Bhupendra Avasthi, director of Surya Child Care, said that four children with dengue are in the Santa Cruz hospital. "The number of patients was much higher till last week. Of the four, three are from the same family," he said. "Hospital admissions will decline as the panic related with dengue goes away. Given the concern with the rise and spread of dengue, parents did not want to take chances and preferred hospitalization."
