LUCKNOW: Dengue cases continued to pour in from hotspot areas on Saturday as 18 more people, including six women, were diagnosed as suffering from the vector borne disease in the past 48 hours.
Three patients were serious as their blood platelet counts had dropped drastically and were admitted to hospitals where they are under observation, while the remaining patients are recuperating at home.
The new cases were reported from NK Road, City Station, Turiyaganj, Kaiserbagh, Aishbagh, Aliganj, Indiranagar and Itaunja. A bulk of cases out of 540 reported since September have come from these hotspots.
