In 2019, Pakistan faced one of the worst outbreaks of dengue virus with more than 50,000 confirmed cases across the country.
The country experienced its first outbreak in 1994. During the last two decades, three major outbreaks were reported in Pakistan in the years 2005, 2011 and 2019.
It is pertinent to mention that dengue virus is spread by the mosquito bite after which the patient faces extreme deficiency of platelets and his blood loses normal clotting ability.
Dengue virus is life-threatening and can lead to dengue hemorrhagic fever if not treated timely.
