Bangladesh recorded 173 dengue deaths in October, its highest monthly toll of the year, bringing the 2026 total to 418 by October 30, health ministry data show. More than 133,000 people have been hospitalized this year. Experts warn the outbreak is unlikely to ease before December. Doctors say delayed treatment and repeat infections contribute to severe cases, while all four dengue virus serotypes circulate. Changing rainfall and humidity patterns are extending mosquito breeding seasons and keeping Aedes mosquitoes active longer.
