UP has reported no dengue deaths to the Centre. So what explains 50 deaths in Firozabad district? -Tabassum Barnagarwala

Limited testing means cases and deaths are going undetected in the state.

This year, Uttar Pradesh has reported 1,069 dengue cases to the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, the central government’s nodal agency on vector borne diseases. However, it has not reported a single death caused by dengue, data from the agency’s regional office shows.

This, despite the fact that more than 50 people have died of fever in the past one month in just one district, Firozabad, which is currently seeing a dengue outbreak. The district has 300 confirmed cases of the viral disease.

Officials say they suspect at least 100 people have died of dengue across the state. They attributed the gap between the official number – zero dengue deaths – and the actual situation on the ground to poor disease surveillance in Uttar Pradesh.
