The number of dengue cases has increased by 60 in the last 24 hours on Tuesday, after 321,179 hospitalisations last year, according to the Directorate General of Health Services, reports bdnews24.com.
In Dhaka, hospitals admitted 13 patients, while the other districts recorded 47 new cases.
Of the 657 dengue patients undergoing treatment in hospitals across the country in the morning, 262 were in Dhaka and 395 outside the capital.
The dengue outbreak has been significantly worse last year than in previous years.
Experts have blamed a prolonged monsoon and rising temperature, along with a lack of effective measures to kill the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the known carrier of the virus, for the outbreak.
