Hyderabad: A peculiar medical mystery is unfolding in Hyderabad. Despite exhibiting classic dengue symptoms like soaring fevers, dropping platelet counts and body aches, countless patients are returning negative for dengue tests. This puzzling trend has left caregivers and doctors in Hyderabad baffled and searching for answers.
As a result of negative resting, such cases are recorded as ‘suspected dengue’ by the Telangana State Public Health department, but no attempt is underway to understand whether a different viral agent is responsible for triggering the rise of such dengue-like infections.
Till now, neither the Public Health department nor Directorate of Medical Education (DME) have yet launched any concerted attempt at unraveling this mystery. No blood samples of dengue positive patients have been collected for conducting a thorough genomic sequencing in city-based central government genetic laboratories to understand the viral agent, which could possibly be behind the infections.
Frequent negative dengue tests are also causing individuals to assume that they do not carry any kind of viral infection. As a result, a large number of patients are not strictly adhering to the basic medication prescribed by the doctor for their infection, leaving the door open for complications at a later date.
There are two different kinds of dengue diagnostic tests that include NS1 and IgM tests and there is every possibility that sometimes these tests might be negative. According to experts in seasonal ailments, sometimes the timing of conducting the test may go wrong and that could lead to a negative test.
Usually, dengue NS1 antigen can be detected after the third day of infections and IgM antibodies can be detected any 5 to 6 days.
Senior physicians who are familiar with the dengue disease pattern in the two Telugu States caution individuals from ignoring basic medication and rest, which is prescribed by the caregiver.
“Some of the patients utilize rapid tests to undergo dengue tests and that also could be the reason for the large number of negative tests. However, please don’t ignore dengue-like symptoms,” doctors advised.
Important advice from top doctors to dengue patients:
• Avoid NSAIDS like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac etc
• Paracetamol is ideal to reduce fever
• Steroids have no role in treatment of dengue
• Hydrate properly
• Papaya leaf juice does not provide any relief
• Platelet or blood transfusion only if platelets drop less than 15, 000 or 20, 000.
• Dengue tests are NS1 and IgM
• NS1 on day 2 of symptoms and IgM on test on Day 5
• Day 2 means second day of fever
• No use of antibiotics and anti-malarials in treating dengue

The former Minister emphasized that the Chief Minister’s statements had not matched the actual disbursement figures, leading to trust deficit and lack of transparency

BRS MLA Harish Rao
Hyderabad: Stating that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of making misleading claims about the implementation of the crop loan waiver, BRS leader and former Minister T Harish Rao said it had caused confusion and frustration among the public and the farmers.
In an informal chat with media persons at Telangana Bhavan, he said on Thursday that Revanth Reddy had misled even Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with his claims over the fulfilment of the debt relief promise made by the Congress party.
He offered to receive Rahul Gandhi on his visit to the State and show him the ground reality as far as the waiver was concerned in the Chief Minister’s native village of Kondareddypalli.
He emphasized that the Chief Minister’s statements had not matched the actual disbursement figures, leading to trust deficit and lack of transparency.
The way the Chief Minister sought to handle the loan waiver issue created a considerable amount of confusion and the farmers viewed it as a case of betrayal.
Referring to the Chief Minister’s revelations during a chit chat with media persons recently, Harish Rao termed it as “cheat chat” stating that his conversations involved more of deceit and falsehoods than any facts.
He recalled that Revanth Reddy had announced during casual discussion with the media the decision to hand over the responsibility of collecting electricity dues in Hyderabad’s Old City to the Adani Group.
However, as it sparked a controversy and backlash from the BRS, he ruled out any such move on the floor of the State assembly.
Sirpur (T) MLA Dr P Harish Babu said that the government cheated the farmers by allocating Rs 18,000 crore as against the outlay of the loans of Rs 65,000 crore in the state. He opined that it got rid of the loans by waiving loans belonging to a minor portion of farmers.

Hyderabad: The lack of frequency and inadequate bus services in some parts of the city has been causing a significant inconvenience to passengers, particularly for women.
For commuters in some of the busiest areas such as Narayanguda and Himayathnagar, the challenges in reaching their workplaces or educational institutions in time and comfort, have been getting compounded. This lack of reliable public transportation is often leading to longer wait times, overcrowding, and, in some cases, unsafe travel conditions. Many women rely on buses as their primary mode of transportation, and the inadequacy of services is limiting their mobility.
Bus users from these areas are raising concerns and requests for improved and more frequent bus services, enhancing safety and convenience. These bus stops in and around Himayathnagar and Narayanguda are crucial transit points, providing connectivity to various parts of Hyderabad.
R Suma, a college student from Himayathnagar who depends on public transport says, “I have to wait for nearly 20 minutes or more sometimes for a bus to my college every morning.Sometimes, the buses are so crowded that it is difficult to even board them.”
For K Anitha, a working professional from Narayanguda, the lack of frequent buses is a big issue. “I often end up spending extra money on auto-rickshaws and cabs just to reach my office on time. The RTC should consider adding more buses during peak hours to cater to working women like me.”
Though the ‘Mahalakshmi’ free travel facility for women is considered to be a success from the government’s perspective, the overcrowded buses due to the free travel option, often end up causing inconvenience and frustration in passengers.
“It is very inconvenient, especially when I have to travel with my children. The buses are either overcrowded or take too long to arrive. We need more reliable and timely bus services in Himayathnagar,” said P Meena, a homemaker.
Similarly, for Laxman Reddy, a senior citizen who claims to wait for considerably long periods at the bus stop, the wish is to have more buses available. “Sometimes, there is not a single bus for nearly 45 minutes. I wish there were more buses available, especially for older people like us,” he said.
Addressing the students, Mancherial Collector Deepak said that sports play a vital role in improving memory power, besides offering physical fitness and mental recreation.
