PORT OF SPAIN, T&T - An outbreak of dengue in a community in Barrackpore has resulted in one death and left two hospitalised in critical condition.
At least 11 members of a family in Ramsubhag Trace have been affected by dengue haemorrhagic fever, and relatives fear the situation may get worse.
Speaking to the Express yesterday at his home in Ramsubhag Trace, Barrackpore, 63-year-old Mahindra Mahadeo said while several relatives in the area were infected with dengue, his 65-year-old brother Sieunarine Mahadeo died last Tuesday from the illness.
Mahadeo is said to be one of the two dengue-related deaths in Trinidad that the Health Ministry previously confirmed.
The other was a teenager from Fyzabad.
