Background: Dengue fever has become a major public health concern in our country, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Because there is no definite drug or commercially available vaccine for dengue, prevention is the only option. As a result, early reporting of dengue cases is required in order to implement preventive measures before the disease spreads to epidemic proportions. Therefore, healthcare providers should notify every dengue incident to local authorities in the current format, including the District Health Officer or Chief Medical Officer of district concerned and the Municipal Health Officer of municipality concerned every week (daily during the transmission period).
