From the beginning of the year to the beginning of September 2025, the whole province of Khanh Hoa recorded 5,901 cases of dengue fever, including 2 deaths in Suoi Dau commune and Phuoc Hau commune - according to the Khanh Hoa Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Localities with high numbers of cases include: Bac Nha Trang ward (483 cases), Nam Nha Trang ward (382 cases), Hoa Tri commune (452 cases), Cam Lam commune (172 cases) and Van Ninh commune (94 cases).
According to the CDC Khanh Hoa, the number of dengue fever cases has increased sharply due to the impact of both objective and subjective factors.
The rainy weather is interspersed with hot weather, creating conditions for Aedes mosquitoes - the disease-carrying medium - to breed and develop. In addition, a part of the population is still negligent and has not fully implemented disease prevention measures.
In reality, after detecting the outbreak, the local health system quickly handled it.
CDC Khanh Hoa regularly increases medical staff to hot spots, while monitoring and guiding people to kill mosquitoes and mosquito larvae, limiting the spread of the disease.
In addition to the medical force, the authorities of communes and wards are recommended to establish professional teams to kill mosquito larvae and ticks to coordinate with the people.
Propaganda work and raising public awareness are also identified as key factors in controlling the number of new cases.
The CDC Khanh Hoa recommends that dengue fever often has symptoms such as fever, headache, eyelid pain, and body aches. Severe cases may include subcutaneous bleeding, mucous membranes, severe headaches, etc.
Normally, the disease can go away after about a week, but people absolutely must not be subjective. When there are suspicious signs, it is necessary to go to a medical facility immediately for timely examination and treatment.
