              Japanese Encephalitis Toll Climbs To 146 In Assam

              Mukut Das
              Updated: 16th August 2019 - 19:27:04 PM

              The Japanese Encephalitis death toll in Assam rose to 146 with one more case reported from western Assam?s Dhubri district according to National Health Mission (NHM) bulletin in Guwahati. A total of four positive JE cases were reported in the state on August 16th, 2019. A total of 614 positive JE cases have been reported so far according to the official data. On August 14th, 2019, a death case was reported from Barak Valley?s Cachar district.
              ...


              News reports for the last few weeks have been omitting the full picture by not reporting on AES cases & deaths in Assam. To July 20, JE confirmed cases made up only 28% of the total AES (459 JE from 1,637 total AES) caseload and constituted only 45% of the fatalities (104 JE from 231 total AES). Since then, 155 additional confirmed cases of JE have been reported with 42 fatalities. Statistically, an additional 398 AES cases with 51 fatalities may have occurred in the same period. My estimate of the true AES toll in the state is around 2,190 cases with 324 fatalities. - Ro

                    • Well written overview of the AES situation in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. - Ro

                      Mysterious illness kills children season after season in northern India, leaving researchers frustrated
                      A toxin in lychees, combined with malnourishment, is the culprit, scientists say. Yet not everyone agrees
                      by Dinsa Sachan, special to C&EN
                      AUGUST 25, 2019 | APPEARED IN VOLUME 97, ISSUE 33


                      Some think lychees are being blamed unfairly for an illness that breaks out among children in the north India state of Bihar each year.
                      Each summer in Muzaffarpur, in the north Indian state of Bihar, children suddenly wake up vomiting and delirious or they start having seizures. Some slip into a coma, and some die within hours of being wheeled into a hospital.

                      This phenomenon has been recurring for more than two decades. It generally begins in April and ends in June, when temperatures peak in this part of the country, soaring as high as 44 ?C. This year, the outbreak claimed the lives of 116 children in the state.

                      Some doctors thought it might be heat stroke. Others initially linked the recurring epidemic to acute encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain that can be caused in a variety of ways, including by bacterial or viral infection. They call it acute encephalitis syndrome (AES). But the situation in Bihar has been particularly puzzling: the symptoms come on too fast for encephalitis, and they’re accompanied by a drop in blood sugar.

                      So the search has continued. And within the past decade, researchers have identified a different culprit—a controversial one—lurking in fruit orchards.

                                LUCKNOW: Deaths due to encephalitis in Uttar Pradesh have come down by 65 per cent in the past two years due to sincere efforts by the government, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Wednesday.
                                "I started the battle against encephalitis in 1998. At that time there was an acute shortage of resources at Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College in Gorakhpur but today the college has all the facilities.

                                "Due to sincere efforts of the state government, the death toll has now been reduced by 65 per cent during last two years," the chief minister said at an event.

                                The Adityanath government had drawn flak over the death of scores of children at the BRD hospital in August 2017, months after it came to power. Gorakhpur, which the chief minister represented for nearly 20 years in Lok Sabha, has been for long the epicentre of Encephalitis outbreak in the state.

                                According to the state government, more than 5,400 cases of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) were reported in the state in 2017, leading to 748 deaths.
