At least seven babies in the mountainous province of Cao Bang died the past five weeks possibly due to viral encephalitis, raising concerns about an outbreak.
The province?s health department said seven babies under six months died in one district between April 19 and May 25, and 12 others are under treatment with similar symptoms that include fever, cough and respiratory inflammation.

Children?s Hospital in Hai Phong City reported an increased number of encephalitis patients with 58 cases since early May against a total 130 cases in 2015.
?Children who get encephalitis children on hot days are aged from 5 to 10. Parents easily mistake the signs of encephalitis for sunstroke,? Dr Hoang Ngoc Anh of the hospital warned.
But, Anh said doctors haven?t determined what virus caused encephalitis in the area.
?We are working with experts from the Hanoi-based National Hospital of Tropical Diseases, and from Britain?s Oxford University to find the cause of encephalitis,? said Dr. Hoang Ngoc Anh.
... In the south, HCM City Tropical Diseases Hospital reported an encephalitis-affected child died in late May, the first Neisseria meningitidis bacterium case in the city this year.
