23 patients have died since the outbreak of dengue fever began in 12 Sudanese states, meanwhile, nine cases of ‘acute hysteria’ have prompted calls for a factfinding mission in South Kordofan.

In large parts of South Kordofan, people are currently suffering from symptoms of dengue fever but confirmation is difficult as there is only one laboratory in the whole of Sudan that can confirm the disease. South Darfur's 'hysteria' epidemic is still a mystery as patients were confirmed to be free of suspected infections.
