Tamil Nadu reports higher dengue totals than national database figures
Tamil Nadu’s Health department has released figures showing 56,863 dengue cases in 2023, 46,971 in 2024 and 25,585 in 2025. The totals are substantially higher than corresponding figures published by the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases Control, according to The Hindu’s supplied material.
New dengue figures released by Tamil Nadu’s Health department show 56,863 cases in 2023, 46,971 in 2024 and 25,585 in 2025, according to material supplied from The Hindu. The department’s figures are substantially higher than the corresponding totals published by the National Centre for Vector Borne Diseases Control, the material says. It does not provide the national agency’s figures, so the size of the difference cannot be calculated from the information available here.
The supplied report also does not explain why the two sets of figures differ. It gives no details about the definitions used, the reporting periods, the sources of the state data or whether the figures refer to suspected or confirmed cases. The state totals show a decline across the three years listed, from 56,863 cases in 2023 to 46,971 in 2024 and 25,585 in 2025.
The material does not say whether the 2025 figure covers the full year. No comment from the national agency or additional explanation from the State Health department is included in the supplied information.
