Thirty-one more dengue patients were hospitalised in 24 hours till Friday morning, according to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS).
Among them, 30 patients were hospitalised in Dhaka, it said.
As many as 186 dengue patients, including 145 in the capital, are now receiving treatment at hospitals across the country.
The dengue cases are rising in the capital allegedly due to insufficient measures taken by the two Dhaka city corporations for preventing mosquito-borne diseases like dengue.
On June 21, the DGHS reported the first death of the season from the mosquito-borne viral disease.
This year, the DGHS has recorded 1,610 dengue cases and 1,423 recoveries so far.
