Dengue Case in Thailand

Thailand has seen a big increase in dengue fever cases this year, with over 24,030 infections and more than 20 deaths reported since January 1 (as of June 21, 2023). The number of cases is 4.2 times higher than last year, with most cases in Nong Bua Lamphu, Pichit, Pathum Thani, Chai Nat, and Narathiwat (as of June 27, 2023). The weather, including more rain and El Niño, can affect mosquito numbers and how easily they spread the disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that dengue could keep rising.
