Twenty two-year-old Pramila Lima, who is four months pregnant, complained of high fever, shivering and acute pain in the limbs. On being taking to the nearby Behrampur hospital, she was found to be suffering from Malaria.

She was later tested positive with Dengue following lateral tests.

The doctors in the district hospital say that the villagers have been alerted and their blood samples have been collected.

"When our staff came to know about that a case of Dengue has been detected in our block, we immediately came here along with our staff, ANM (auxiliary nurse mid-wife), health worker male, Laboratory division and AYUSH doctors. We came to the village and conducted a health check-up camp. We have taken the blood samples of all the people here on a slide, and the slides have been sent to the district health headquarters," said Jagdish Panigrahi, a doctor from the district hospital.

Local resident said that since one case of Dengue has been detected, they are very scared as most of them work in the field.

"I told my family that my hands and legs are badly paining. They admitted me in the Behrampur Hospital. There, my blood sample was tested and then the doctors told me that I am suffering from Dengue fever. After that they gave me medicines, which I am taking regularly. My hands and legs are still paining and I am shivering and I am not at all feeling well," said Pramila Lima, a dengue patient who is four months pregnant.
