In the past two months, a worrying increase in dengue cases has been noted in Karachi. In September, 927 cases were reported and 900 cases in October. The situation is no different in other parts of Sindh as 2,000 cases have been reported there in the ongoing year. However, an official of the provincial government has described the spike in dengue cases in the above- mentioned months as a global phenomenon, saying a rise in the incidence of dengue is observed across the world in September, October and November. This is not outright denial with regard to the rising incidence of dengue fever but it is something hard to believe.
