bdnews24.com :Authorities have devised plans to launch dengue fever awareness campaign in Dhaka as the mosquito-borne infection has returned with the onset of monsoon.The ‘breakbone fever’ caused by the bite of the aedes aegypti mosquito had baffled doctors and was a cause of great concern when it first appeared in the early 2000s. But, it subsequently became a seasonal fever with doctors having proper guidelines, and people coming to know about the disease.”There is nothing to panic. It’s a very normal now, and all know about this,” said Dr Md Tito Miah, an associate professor of medicine at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
