Leptospirosis has claimed nine lives Mumbai so far: BMC
Six cases of cholera recorded, highest in the past three years
A monsoon disease analysis by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation released on Tuesday said leptospirosis has killed nine people across the city this season. The BMC has also reported six cases of cholera, the highest in three years.
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that spreads to humans through rat and cattle urine and excreta and most commonly through unhealed wounds in the skin, abrasions and cuts, especially in the feet. The infection claimed three lives in June and six in July; five of them died in the past two weeks.
Civic officials said 76% of the victims of the infection were men and 24% were women. The highest number of cases were in the 15 to 29 age-group. Among the five deceased was a 46-year-old man who began treatment at a private clinic and got admitted to a hospital when his symptoms worsened. Before getting admitted, he stopped treatment mid-way and shifted to Ayurvedic treatment for jaundice. The report said, ?This patient had a shoe bite wound and a history of wading through rain water. He died on July 15.?
