Mosquito-borne Chikungunya is spreading fast in the capital Dhaka with intermittent rains.
The government’s disease monitoring arm, IEDCR, has asked people to be aware of the viral infection that has some similarities with dengue fever caused by Aedes Aegypti mosquito.
Shaiful Hassan Shameem has been struggling to bring his fever down. A doctor by training, he could not figure out why his fever persisted as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit despite taking medication.
He ended up in a hospital that sent his blood sample to the IEDCR. He was diagnosed with Chikungunya.
