The Gorakhpur region in eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP) is a paddy (rice)
cultivating area. That means the combination of Culicine mosquitoes
that breed in rice fields and water birds that develop Japanese
encephalitis (JE) viremia. Thus, it is a JE affected eco-type area; in
2006 and since then some JE vaccination (Chinese live SA14-14-2) has
been going on. In 2006, when a mass campaign was conducted, the
prevalence plummeted. Since then the EPI [Expanded Program on
Immunization] mode of vaccine delivery is beset with many problems, so
JE continues relentlessly. The National Institute of Virology [NIV]
(of Pune, Maharashtra, an ICMR [Indian Council of Medical Research]
Centre) has established a field station in Gorakhpur for
investigations. That is how we know that there are JE cases and non-JE
cases.

The non-JE "acute encephalitis syndrome" could be one or more
conditions. Enterovirus(es) have been proposed since both the field
station and the Lucknow Medical College virologist have isolated many
enteroviruses including a rare isolate from CSF. The NIV people
discount the enterovirus theory but the Lucknow people insist it is an
enterovirus disease.

It cannot be an enterovirus syndrome since it is annually recurrent
and geographically confined. Enteroviruses spread widely. My guess is
that it may not even be a viral syndrome -- virologists look only for
viruses. It could even be a non-infectious problem (such as the
'hepatomyoencephalopathy' we have described in western UP -- it was
called Saharanpur encephalitis for over 2 decades and investigated by
NIV repeatedly. Our systematic studies showed it to be _Cassia
occidentalis_ poisoning of children who ate lots of the beans. A
Google search on Saharanpur encephalitis is a way to search or look
for hepatomyoencephalopathy, or else I can send a series of
publications.

[ProMED-mail is grateful to Dr John for his comments.

As Dr John indicated, clearly a health landscape view ("healthscape")
is essential to determine the etiology and epidemiology of the cases
of encephalitis that have been going on in this area of Gorakhpur.
Until that information is in hand, prevention and control will not be
possible. Vaccination to prevent Japanese encephalitis virus
infections will be helpful, but for less than half the reported cases.
Another (other) etiological agents that are endemic in the area must
be involved in the cases termed acute encephalitis syndrome. Dr John
mentions possible involvement of the plant _Cassia occidentalis_ (or
_Senna occidentalis_) with the common name of coffee senna or
coffeeweed. It contains toxins in all parts (seeds, roots, leaves,
fruits). The symptoms of intoxication include diarrhea, tremors and
dark brown urine if plant parts are consumed in large quantities. The
toxic compounds in it include anthraquinones, emodin glycosides,
toxalbumins, and alkaloids.

Demand for encephalitis programme grows loud
Manjari Mishra, TNN, Jan 6, 2011, 01.09am IST

LUCKNOW: With 512 children succumbing to the dreaded Japanese Encephalitis/ Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in Gorakhpur Medical College alone this year, the demand for a National Encephalitis Eradication Programme gets louder in eastern UP.

The deadly virus has claimed more than 10,000 lives in the belt since 2006. And, even as the state health department attributes the casualties to a different strain every year, the recurrence, despite a vaccination drive, is leading to much anxiety in the 18 affected districts of Purvanchal .

...


Already one lakh 100,000letters, 1,000 out of them written in blood, have been sent to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi Prime Minister and the union health minister to bring the point home . "The letter writers last month," Singh says, included a 10-year-old girl Sanju, who became crippled and cannot use her right hand due to a bout of JE suffered almost three years ago .

...


Going by official statistics, the number of casualties reported from Gorakhpur Medical College since 2006 alone averages 500. This could actually be 10 times more, if one takes into account the unreported deaths in villages and private hospitals he claimed
