Lucknow, Nov 21 A 39-year-old man in Lucknow, who was suspected to be suffering from dengue, died earlier this week and his family has alleged that doctors’ negligence caused his death.

After his death on Sunday night, the family refused to take the body, but were later convinced to do so by police.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer A.P. Singh said: “The patient was suffering from a liver disease and his confirmatory Elisa test for dengue was not done. We shall conduct a death audit and also a probe.”
