At least 943 people have also fallen sick and 52 died in Equateur province, with symptoms ranging from fever and fatigue to vomiting and weight loss, Dieudonne Mwamba, director general of the National Institute of Public Health, said. The World Health Organization said in a statement it had identified 1,096 cases and 60 deaths fitting the definition of the illness. "For now, our diagnosis is malaria, and we also suspect food poisoning," Mwamba told Reuters. "It's not an unknown and mysterious disease. It's a phenomenon involving children who consumed bushmeat." The WHO said in a bulletin on February 16 it has received reports indicating that children had consumed a bat carcass before the onset of symptoms... DJ....food poisening is not contagious...??? Reminds me of earlier outbreak/claim in West DRC-poverty/malaria as reason for "mystery disease"...
