Fourteen cases of dengue fever in Bokeo

(KPL) Fourteen people in the Houay Say district of Bokeo province were infected with the dengue fever disease.
Mr Vilasin Inthalaphone, Head of Malaria Control Office told KPL News that most of the dengue patients lived in the suburban areas of Houay Say district.
The Ministry of Public Health dispatched medical officials to monitor the dengue fever situation in Houay Say district and also to collect information from the field so that the ministry can react positively by providing medicine and medical equipment to the local authorities for use in the affected areas.
Mr Vilasin Inthalaphone said Wednesday that before Houay Say was hit by the 14 cases of dengue, this disease was prevalent in Chiangmai province, Thailand.
In 2007, 35 people contracted the dengue fever disease but no one died from it.
