Dengue outbreak update in India: 2022.

Dengue is an emerging illness in India, where it is endemic in some areas and sometimes causes yearly epidemics. Each dengue outbreak starts with high death and morbidity, which has a significant socioeconomic impact. As of September 30, 2022, India had 63,280 dengue cases, according to information provided by the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases Control. North India is most severely impacted by each outbreak. In Uttar Pradesh, the state with the most population in India, there have been 2060 confirmed cases of dengue and 1 mortality till September 2022 reported. Patients are being reported from semi-urban, rural, and urban areas. It is essential to properly monitor disease cases through disease surveillance in order to ensure prompt case management if dengue outbreak control is to be achieved. An efficient diagnostic approach for early diagnosis is urgently required to reduce the severity of the sickness, the length of the hospital stay, and clinical consequences.
