Cases of viral fever and dengue are now not limited to just one part of the country. What started as a "mystery fever" in Uttar Pradesh has now spread to other states as well in the form of dengue and viral fever.

Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and even West Bengal have all been reporting suspected cases of dengue and viral fever. What’s even more concerning is that the children form a significant part of the infected patients.

In Uttar Pradesh, Firozabad is the epicentre of the dengue outbreak as the district has recorded 60 deaths due to the viral fever till September 14.
