By Jessica Jaganathan
DOCTORS in Little India and Geylang are taking no chances and are ordering blood tests when patients show up with signs of dengue, now that a new threat has emerged in those areas.

More patients are turning up with a fever, headache and joint or muscular pains at Dr Mohamed Ghazali's clinic in Little India.

He said: 'It's difficult to tell those with influenza, chikungunya and dengue apart as they mostly have the same symptoms. So now I'm getting all of them with such symptoms to go for a blood test early.'

Read the full report in Friday's edition of The Straits Times.
