New Delhi: Dengue claimed the lives of three more people in the national capital — a 41-year-old woman, a seven-year-old boy and a 14-year-old — taking the toll to 16, even though officially the toll stayed at five. The Delhi government fixed Rs.600 as the maximum any private hospital can charge for dengue tests.
Monika Bahl of Lajpat Nagar area died at Moolchand Hospital of dengue shock syndrome leading to multi-organ failure on Monday morning. Doctors said she was brought to the hospital following fever and vomiting. Her death was reported on Wednesday.
“She was shifted to the ICU three days after admission when she developed respiratory problems. She tested positive for dengue antibody test, which means she had contracted the disease earlier, and this time again,” a doctor at Moolchand Hospital, told IANS.
The seven-year-old boy was brought in critical condition on Wednesday morning to B.L. Kapoor Hospital in Rajinder Nagar of west Delhi and died within a few hours, while the teenager was admitted to Maharaja Agrasen Hospital in Punjabi Bagh area of west Delhi two days ago and died on Tuesday, hospital sources said.
