Health Bureau urges residents to help prevent dengue fever


The Heath Bureau has urged the public to help eradicate mosquitoes and keep their homes clean, following confirmation of the first case of suspected dengue fever this year. A statement from the Bureau said the 53-year-old patient was admitted to Kiang Wu Hospital on Tuesday. His condition remained stable. The construction worker started to have symptoms of dengue fever -- fever, joint pains and chronic headache -- from March 7, and developed erythemas, when was sent to hospital. The patient said mosquitoes had bitten him several times where he worked, at a construction site in NAPE. He had also visited Zhuhai twice at the end of February. His family members had no symptom of the disease. The Health Bureau dispatched a team to eradicate mosquitoes in a 200-metre radius of the construction site.
