Of the patients newly hospitalised with the disease, seven cases were in Dhaka, while 17 were outside the capital.
Currently, 143 patients are hospitalised with dengue. Of them, 48 are in Dhaka and 95 are outside the capital.
The dengue outbreak in 2023 was the worst on record in Bangladesh, with 321,179 patients contracting the disease and 1,705 dying from it.
Experts blamed a prolonged monsoon and rising temperature, along with a lack of effective measures to kill the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the known carrier of the virus, for the outbreak.
