13 Die Of Mysterious Illness Following High Fever In Gujarat, Probe Underway ... India NewsEdited by Raunaq Lekhi Updated: September 08, 2024 7:03 pm IST
New Delhi: Thirteen people have died in Gujarat's Kachchh district due to a mysterious disease days after the region suffered from heavy rainfall. The doctors are yet to diagnose the disease accurately, said an official.
A 12-year-old died this morning in Sandro village adjacent to Bhekhda village. "The only thing on people's minds is what kind of fever this is that can't be treated even in Bhuj-Ahmedabad?" District Panchayat member Mamad Jung Jat said.
The patients who died from the mysterious disease had symptoms like fever, cold, cough and pneumonia, claimed locals. Young patients had reduced immunity following high fever and died of lung and liver damage.
Some aged patients died just two days after getting a fever. The health department could not verify the type of fever and said that it would only be confirmed after the report comes from Gandhinagar. They are currently investigating the situation. ... "Primarily, the deaths appear to have been caused by pneumonia. It does not appear to be from contamination nor does it seem like a communicable disease," Amit Arora, the collector of Kachchh said.
"Samples are being collected for testing against dengue, malaria, H1N1 swine flu, and pneumonia. ...

DJ...India may have (limited) H5N1-spread, unclear Mpox stories...CoViD very likely out of control. But it may also be water/rain linked...
All the patients died without the fever being cured, former member of panchayat Hussain Raima said.
"Primarily, the deaths appear to have been caused by pneumonia. It does not appear to be from contamination nor does it seem like a communicable disease," Amit Arora, the collector of Kachchh said.
"Samples are being collected for testing against dengue, malaria, H1N1 swine flu, and pneumonia. The family members of the affected are being provided updates, and 22 teams from the Health Department are keeping a close watch on this," he said.
DJ, A time-line may also help to understand the situation...Did the first cases show up after heavy rain ? What links between cases ? (If there are no direct links-could insects spread it ?)

Toll from mysterious fever in Gujarat reaches 15, samples sent to Pune institute By HT Correspondent Sep 11, 2024 10:52 AM IST District collector Amit Arora said the tests so far ruled out possibilities of diseases such as H1N1, swine flu, Crimean-Congo fever, malaria, and dengue
The toll from a mysterious fever in Lakhpat in Gujarat’s Kutch district has risen to 15 over the last eight days even as the authorities were yet unable to determine its cause. The fever, initially suspected to be pneumonitis, claimed at least 10 lives, including children, between September 3 to September 7. There have been at least five more deaths since then.
District collector Amit Arora said they have sent 11 samples of those who died to Pune’s National Institute of Virology to determine the cause of the deaths. “The results are expected to arrive in a day or two. We will have to wait for the results to find out whether this is a known virus or something new.”...
