It seems that the scar of dengue fever would take its due course of time to leave the turf of Marshall Islands, as it has been claimed that number of affected cases are increasing exponentially there. So far, reports have confirmed 154.

Even the Ministry of Health had expressed possibilities of few cases in Kwajalein, while confirming one case from an outer island. However, the only good news is that most of the cases are not so serious. Further, 10 people have so far been hospitalized for the same.

As medical updates are coming, it has been confirmed that residents on Majuro and Kwajalein would be coming together to kick start clean up drives, so that the situation could be controlled before causing further harm.

“For the most part, the threat in Nassau has become less of an issue and it's really ensuring that our population in the Family Islands are covered and we're basically trying to confirm whether they have local transmission”, said Delon Brennen, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer at the Ministry of Health, who is concerned about the recent reports which indicated that dengue fever is affecting other islands also.

If reports are to be believed, it has been found that number of suspected cases touched the mark of 7,343 last month, and most importantly, the situation was worst in the month of August when on an average of 100 new cases of suspected dengue fever were reported every single day.

Moreover, health officials have denied any suspected case of dengue haemorrhagic fever. If the International Journal of Bahamian Studies (IJBS) last month, there is considerable possibility that this spreading infection could escalate other concerns also.

Even microbiologist Sherrie Bain has suggested developing a national infectious disease research centre which could work on other strategies which could counter the impact of dengue.
