Karnataka's monsoon, especially in coastal districts and the Western Ghats, brings welcome rain but also a seasonal rise in dengue, typhoid and waterborne infections. Bengaluru sees its own spike each year as stagnant water collects after heavy showers.
Simple household steps go a long way: empty any standing water around your home weekly to stop mosquito breeding, drink only boiled or filtered water, and wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Children and elderly family members are most vulnerable, so watch for fever lasting more than two days, unusual fatigue, or a skin rash and seek care early rather than waiting it out.
Our emergency department sees a seasonal increase in dengue and typhoid cases every year between June and September. If a fever does not settle within 48 hours, a same-day blood test can catch these conditions early, when treatment is simplest.
