          Assam: Mosquitoes kill 23 amid flood, COVID-19 crisis
          Rahul KarmakarGUWAHATI:, JULY 21, 2020 20:16 IST
          UPDATED: JULY 21, 2020 20:42 IST
          ...
          Officials said there are multiple reasons, including under-reporting of cases for the “seemingly encouraging” figure compared to other concurrent killers — floods and landslides that have claimed 113 human lives, and coronavirus (COVID-19) that accounted for 58 deaths till Tuesday morning.


          Japanese encephalitis (JE) and malaria kill scores in Assam every year, specifically during the “flood season” that usually starts in May and can stretch to October.

          The State has reported a total of 23 deaths due to vector-borne diseases till July 20 this year. JE claimed 21 lives while two people died of malaria.

                            Last year, a total of 598 children in Bihar got the chamki fever.

                            8 hours ago

                            Patna: Some of the children in Bihar who recovered from chamki fever – the local name for acute encephalitis syndrome – have developed symptoms of ‘post-encephalitis syndrome’, the impact of which experts say could last a lifetime.

                            Last year, 598 children in Bihar got chamki fever, of whom 130 passed away while the rest recovered. When this reporter contacted the families of some of these children, they said that after recovering from the fever, their children have developed problems indicative of mental and physical distress, including fatigue and weight loss.

                            Sonam Kumari, a four-year-old resident of Kanti in Muzaffarpur district, had a fever last year and was diagnosed with AES, and then recovered. Uttam Giri, Sonam’s grandfather, said, “Earlier she was very smart. She used to play a lot and liked to study. But after recovering from the fever, she has became very lethargic. She talks less and stays at home instead of playing with other children. Her schoolwork has also suffered.”

                            “We are concerned about the change in her behaviour and are planning to take her to a good paediatrician,” Giri added...
