Bhopal: The rise, in Dengue cases in Madhya Pradesh, including the capital city of Bhopal, Gwalior and Indore, has become a cause for concern.

In Bhopal, the total number of reported Dengue cases has reached 790, while Gwalior has witnessed a surge with 1058 cases and 25 new cases being reported recently.
This situation has resulted in increased health alerts. Prompted actions such as testing 82 samples at Jayarogya and district hospitals. Out of these tests 25 individuals have tested positive for Dengue. Among those affected 11 are from Gwalior district while the remaining 14 are from districts.
The symptoms of Dengue can vary from mild to severe. Typically appears four to seven days after infection. Common symptoms include headaches, muscle and joint pain, nausea, eye pain, skin rash and swollen glands.
