A mid-October field report from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies says Bangladesh recorded about 202,000 suspected measles cases since the outbreak began in mid-March, including roughly 22,000 laboratory-confirmed cases. Dhaka Division carried about 87,200 suspected cases and 486 suspected deaths, with heavy burdens in Chattogram and Barishal. Hospitals logged around 1,000 suspected admissions a day during the reporting period, peaking at 1,251 on October 8. The outbreak followed a 2024-2025 vaccine shortage, routine-immunization gaps and years without a nationwide supplementary campaign. Nearly 20 million children have been vaccinated since April, and a September 26 campaign targets about 3.4 million missed children. Suspected and confirmed counts remain distinct, and mortality attribution and final scale require continued verification.
