    11-Year-Old Boy Dies From Dengue In Singapore

    An 11-year-old Singaporean boy died from dengue on Aug 30, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Environment Agency (NEA) announced on Tuesday (Oct 11).

    He died the same day he was admitted to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, they said in a joint news release. MOH said it was informed of the cause of death in a coroner’s report on Tuesday.

    The patient lived at Woodleigh Close, an active two-case dengue cluster, which was reported on Sep 6, but no mosquito breeding was detected there, NEA said. The cluster was closed on Sep 14.

    This is the eighth fatality from dengue in Singapore this year.
