Title : Nine deaths due to mystery fever in Lucknow district, Uttar Pradesh.
Description : AT LEAST nine people died of a mysterious fever in Lucknow on Saturday. A team of doctors from the health department has reached Khadra on the outskirts of Lucknow on Sunday but hasn?t been able to ascertain what has caused the outbreak.Twenty- two- year- old Sanjeet Kumar, who had been suffering from mild fever for the past three days, was the first casualty.He died about 5 pm at his residence in Roopnagar colony, Khadra. Subsequently, Ganesh Rajmishtri ( 28), Babu Nishad ( 40), Babu Singh ( 41), Naeem Khan ( 26), Shyamlal Kashyap ( 56), Raju Singh ( 25), Ram Dulari ( 60) and Sanjeeta ( 5), who were also suffering from fever, died. The majority of victims had been undergoing treatment at government hospitals.Chief medical officer A. K. Shukla confirmed the deaths. He said Naeem had been suffering from malarial fever, while Babu and Sanjeet died because of wrong treatment. ? Both were suffering from a common form of viral fever but the line of medication administered to them was wrong. We are trying to find out the reasons behind the death of the other patients as well. It is a serious lapse. We have deployed a team of doctors there to diagnose all the residents who were down with fever,? Dr Shukla said.However, he has also said that quacks were to blame for complicating the cases. ? There are two private clinics in Khadra from where some people had taken medicines.These clinics are run by quacks. We are trying to identify them. The police have been informed. They will be arrested and their clinics sealed,? he said. But Sanjeet?s father Munna Lal claimed that even though most of the patients were undergoing treatment at the Swami Vivekanand hospital or the Civil Hospital, the health department was unnecessarily harassing the registered medical practitioners of the area.? At least 200 people are suffering from fever in Khadra. Registered medical practitioners have treated many of them.They are within our reach,? he said. Munna said the residents had also informed the health department, the municipal corporation and the district administration about the outbreak. According to him, more than 30 locals had died in the past two weeks.The team of doctors reached the area only on Sunday though. ? They claimed Naeem died of malaria. But we know he had no symptom of the disease and the health department has no facility to diagnose the other diseased,? Munna added.
