      YANGON, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- The outbreak rate of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) dropped by half in the first eight months of this year as of Aug. 4 compared with the same period of last year, the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported Sunday.

      During the period, 11,750 people were infected with the DHF. Of them, there were 59 fatalities against more than 100 correspondingly last year, the Ministry of Health and Sports was quoted as saying.

      In Sagaing region alone covering Yinmabin, Kale, Pale, Monywa and Salingyi townships, the outbreak of DHF has infected 950 people with eight deaths during the period.

      DHF, which mainly affects children under 15 years old, occurred mostly in Ayayawaddy and Yangon regions and Mon state and the disease is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito and was common only in the rainy season previously but it has occurred throughout the year.
