Title: Dengue Fever: A Repeated Threat During the Rainy Season
Subtitle: Lanna Hospital Introduces New Preventive Vaccines
(Insert date) (Insert location) – As the rainy season hits (location), health experts are urging residents to take extra precautions against the resurgence of dengue fever. Known to be one of the most prevalent diseases during this time, dengue fever poses a repeated threat, with symptoms that can become increasingly severe with each subsequent infection. In some cases, the disease can even turn fatal.
According to Dr. Kruawan Kaewsuthi, an internal medicine specialist at Lanna Hospital, there are four serotypes of the dengue virus. This means that individuals can contract dengue fever more than once. Alarmingly, the symptoms tend to worsen with each new infection, making it crucial for the public to be aware of the dangers and take necessary preventive measures.
To shed light on this growing concern, Dr. Kruawan Kaewsuthi has emphasized the importance of early detection and prevention. “It is crucial to recognize the symptoms of dengue fever, such as high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain, rash, and exhaustion,” she stated. “When left untreated, dengue fever can progress to severe dengue, which may result in bleeding, organ failure, and, in worst cases, death.”
In an effort to combat this alarming trend, Lanna Hospital has introduced new preventive vaccines targeting the four strains of the dengue virus. These vaccines are now available for reservation, although the quantities are limited. Residents are encouraged to contact the Customer Service department at Lanna Hospital (Tel. 052-134777, 052-134724) for inquiries and reservations.
Given the seriousness of dengue fever, it is imperative for individuals to take proactive steps to prevent its spread. The public is advised to eliminate stagnant water sources, as these act as breeding grounds for dengue-carrying mosquitoes. Additionally, the use of mosquito repellents, wearing long sleeves and pants, and keeping doors and windows screened are key preventive measures.
Furthermore, the local government and health authorities are working together to intensify efforts in controlling mosquito populations. These initiatives include regular fumigation campaigns and public awareness programs to educate residents on the importance of maintaining a safe and clean environment.
In conclusion, as rainy season brings relief to drought-stricken areas, it also brings the risk of dengue fever. With the ability to be contracted multiple times, it is crucial for individuals to be aware of the dangers and take necessary precautions. Lanna Hospital’s introduction of new dengue preventive vaccines aims to provide an additional layer of protection, but it should not replace other preventive measures. By working together and implementing effective preventive strategies, we can minimize the impact of dengue fever and ensure a healthier rainy season for all.]
