パハンの少年がデング熱で犠牲に

[ プトラジャヤ ] 先週土曜日、パハン州クアラ・リピスのクアラ・メダンで１１歳の少年がデング熱で死亡した。政府の発表によると、デング熱の感染疑いのある件数は先々週の542件から751件と、208件も増加している。うち712件はノーマルなデング熱だが、あとの39件は出血を伴い、死の恐れがある危険なものであり、予断を許さない状況だ。政府は連休を挟み、報告が停滞していたため、今回の増加は十分予想の範囲内だと語っている。今年に入ってから、デング熱による死者はこれで86人になった。一方、政府はセレンバンとネグリ・センビランの２工場にたいし、エーデス蚊を発生させる土壌を放置しているとして、罰金刑を課している。
