Health Department officials have declared that the recent death of two minors in Rangareddy limits is not because of dengue. In the past one week, death of two children who reportedly suffered from dengue came to their notice. One is from Hafeezpet and the other from Narsingi.
When a Death Audit was taken up, they found that the private hospitals where the children were admitted, performed Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) to declare dengue.
“RDT cannot be used to declare dengue. A MAC-ELISA test has to be used for that. Since they used the RDT, we cannot confirm the two deaths as dengue deaths,” said A. Rambabu, District Malaria Officer (DMO), Rangareddy.
