Jaundice scare at LU hostel</ARTTITLE>
26 Aug 2008, 0419 hrs IST,TNN LUCKNOW: Jaundice is spreading in the hostels of the Lucknow University. As many as six students of the Birbal Sahni hostel have taken ill in last three days.

Though a team sent by the CMO inspected the hostel and provided medicines to the students, university authorities have decided to send these boys home for recovery.

While hostel inmates claimed that contaminated water supply in the hostels was the source of the disease, university officers said that the residences of the teachers and other hostels located in the same vicinity also got water supply from the same source but no such problem had been reported from anywhere else.

"The source could be food, as students often eat out in dhabas outside the campus," said a teacher in the proctorial board.

Nishi Pandey, dean student welfare, when contacted, said that university was providing all help to the ailing students. :tiphat: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/C...ow/3405397.cms

KANPUR: With 20 more deaths being reported from the Kanpur Dehat region during the last 24 hours, the mystery fever continued to take a heavy toll, especially among the poor Dalit families.

However, the state health minister and the four MLAs of the region - three from BSP and one from SP - have so far not cared to visit the region despite the fact that 70 per cent of the victims are Dalits.

On Wednesday, TOI visited primary health centres at Gujrain and Purwa Khurd in Dalit-dominated Sarwankhera block of Akbarpur tehsil but both were locked. Villagers claimed that two PHCs had remained non-functional for the last six months.

The pharmacist and the nurse deployed at these centres were seldom available, they said. As a result, patients were being rushed to the district hospital.

Pointing his finger towards the PHC at Gujain, Abdullah, who lost his wife Zain on Wednesday, said, "the dispensary has remained closed since the outbreak of mystery fever." :tiphat: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...kes_toll_among_Dalits/articleshow/3414258.cms

The mystery virus striking children dead in eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP) has
been diagnosed as "acute encephalitis syndrome" by Union Health Ministry
experts. Simply put, they do not know what is causing the acute brain fever.

Within weeks, about 800 cases and 150 deaths were reported from 13
districts in UP, and experts predict that the numbers could rise.

"Less than 5 per cent blood and serum samples have tested positive for
Japanese encephalitis (JE), which has seen major outbreaks in the region
each year," said Dr Shiv Lal, director of the National Institute of
Communicable Diseases.

"Usually, at least 15-20 per cent samples test positive for JE during an
outbreak, but the low positivity is causing confusion this year [2008].
With 4 crore [40 million] children in 27 districts in UP being vaccinated
against JE this year, experts wonder why the fever refuses to go away.
There is no problem with the Chinese vaccine SA 14-14-2," said a health
ministry official. The virus, approved by World Health Organization,
protects against JE. "We suspect some children could have missed the
vaccination drive." All the hospitalised children have reported symptoms of
acute encephalitis.

"Since less than 5 per cent have tested positive for JE, we are
investigating whether the outbreak is a combination of JE and water-borne
enterovirus that caused the disease in 2006," said Dr Lal. The Centre is
sending a 4-member team comprising a microbiologist, a pediatrician, an
entomologist, and an epidemiologist to Lucknow and Gorakhpur to track the
outbreak and collect blood and serum samples from hospitalisd children for
viral culture.

"Apart from rapid tests for JE done using kits developed by Pune's National
Institute of Virology, we will do virus culture to track the elusive cause
of the current outbreak," said Dr Lal, adding that the result could be
expected within 2 or 3 days of collection of the samples.

Although the details are skimpy, age distribution and clinical description
lacking, yet the available information can be used to propose a provisional
diagnosis to be investigated. Heavy rainfall and flooding, febrile illness
resembling malaria, and relatively large numbers of death does remind one
of leptospirosis. Immediate serological testing for this disease is warranted.

Similar episodes in Orissa and Mumbai a few years ago (all the 3 features
above fitted) turned out to be leptospirosis. In Orissa it was for the
first time (at least recognized), while in Mumbai the presence of
leptospirosis was already known. To add, there is no shortcut to detailed
clinical description and elementary epidemiological investigation of cases
based on specific diagnostic criteria of the outbreak disease, and
exploration of risk factors (to look for transmission pathways). Instead of
doing what one can do locally, the complete dependence on experts from
elsewhere is not good.

Viral spreads in Kanpur Dehat, full hospitals have no relief for patients

Posted online: Friday , August 29, 2008 at 01:31:32

Kanpur Dehat, August 28 Over 1,000 patients are turning up at the District Hospital of Kanpur Dehat every day with complaints of fever.
Till August 15, the number was almost half at 500 patients. While the authorities claim that each patient is being carefully attended, an 11-year-old was not admitted in the District Hospital on Thursday. Deepak Kumar?s father Ashok Kumar was forced to leave his shivering son unattended in the hospital portico, while he went to purchase the medicines.

A resident of Lalpur under Akbarpur Block, Ashok told The Indian Express, ?For the last three days, my son has been suffering with viral fever but the hospital authorities refused to admit him.? The doctors prescribed some medicines and advised me to take Deepak back home, he added.

Chief Medical Superintendent, Dr O N Pandey said, ?We have 75 beds in the hospital and all are occupied. Only serious patients are admitted and others are referred to primary health centres.? He, however, claimed that majority of the patients coming to the hospital are affected with either malaria or viral fever.

More than 250 casualties have been reported in the district during this period. But the authorities claimed that only 21 deaths were caused due to viral fever. According to official records, 124 people have died in the last 30 days, of which, 103 deaths were caused by malaria, jaundice and other water and vector-borne diseases.

Viral fever, which was first reported in Thadwara and Pulandar, has now spread across to 400 villages under the blocks of Akbarpur, Amraudha, Malasa and Dherapur. The district authorities, however, claim that only 136 villages were affected by the disease and only a few cases have been detected in other areas.

Several villagers expressed displeasure over the indifferent attitude of the authorities. Balram Mishra, brother-in-law of a patient Rekha (15), was annoyed with the medical teams that were visiting various villages. ?The team did not visit our village to treat the patients but were enjoying themselves. After taking snacks, they examined Rekha for a few seconds and gave a medicine, which failed to improve her condition,? said the resident of Mahona village. With her condition deteriorating, we had to rush her to the Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital in Kanpur, he added.

Pappi, a Mungisapur resident, has been admitted in the district hospital. Her husband, Satendra Kumar said, ?No one in the hospital is willing to listen to our grievances. Doctors have not even told us the cause of my wife?s sickness.?

The first death reported in the district due to viral fever was of Thadwara resident, Ankit (7). Today, his father Jagdish has viral fever, mother has been tested positive for malaria and his 8-year-old sister is also in the grip of viral fever. Jagdish said, ?If district authorities are claiming that things are all right, why is my entire family suffering from viral fever and malaria?? He claimed that only when the diseases had spread to over 400 villages, the authorities had woken up to the menace.

District Magistrate Rama Shankar Sahu said, ?Unwarranted panic has been created in the district and the situation is under control.? He pointed out that 54 doctors of Kanpur Dehat and 45 doctors from the division are operating in the affected areas. ?A team of 13 doctors from Kanpur City arrived in the district on Thursday,? added the DM.

Sahu claimed that fogging is being carried out in the affected villages. ?Nearly 25 water tankers are providing clean drinking water to villagers and 25 officials have been deployed to take stock of the situation at the affected villages,? he added. ?Majority of the deaths in the district are natural deaths,? said Sahu.

Addition Director Health, Dr S P Singh said, ?Cases of viral fever are few. Natural deaths should not be linked with water and vector-borne diseases.?

350 die of rain-related diseases


Atiq Khan





<HR color=lightblue noShade>Red alert sounded in Uttar Pradesh
Encephalitis alone claims 181 lives
<HR color=lightblue noShade>

LUCKNOW: With rain-related diseases claiming over 350 lives in Uttar Pradesh during the current spell of monsoons, a red alert has been sounded in the State.
With five more deaths caused by viral fever and malaria being reported from Kanpur Dehat district on Thursday, a total of 27 persons have succumbed to the disease in the district alone.
While encephalitis has claimed 181 lives in the eastern districts with Gorakhpur accounting for a maximum of 54 deaths, 94 persons died of diarrhoea, 15 from gastroenteritis, 45 due to measles and three of jaundice.
On Thursday, the Health Department furnished data on the number of deaths in Kanpur Dehat, which stood at 129, of which only 27 died due to viral fever and malaria. The remaining 102 casualties have been attributed to other causes, including snake bites and tuberculosis.
The State Director-General, Medical and Health, I.S. Srivastava, conceded that none of the 129 deaths in Kanpur Dehat district occurred in hospitals. The victims died in their villages. Dr. Srivastava said the conclusion on the cause of the deaths was arrived after conducting a death audit wherein a door-to-door survey was conducted in the affected villages by a special team of doctors.
According to the health official, 10 blocks of the district, incorporating 139 villages, have been affected by viral fever and malaria. He added that till Wednesday, 55,180 patients were treated and 17,866 blood samples collected. Around 635 cases have been detected as malaria positive cases.
There are about 23,500 malaria cases in different parts of the State. (Figures updated till August 2008). Apart from Kanpur Dehat district, cases of fever/malaria were reported from Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, Chandauli, Fatehpur, Mainpuri, Kannauj, Farrukhabad and Lucknow. No casualties have been reported from these districts.
Malaria continued to claim lives despite the fact that the Malaria Control Programme (MCP) has been implemented in Uttar Pradesh since 1979-80. Crores have been spent by the government for the successful implementation of the programme.
This year, heavy and prolonged spell of rainfall in almost the entire State added to the miseries of the people. Floods led to an increase in vector density in the water-logged areas.
The DG, Health said, orders had been issued for spraying insecticides in the sensitive villages as per the government norms. Village Health Sanitation Committees were constituted for monitoring the preventive measures. :tiphat: http://www.hindu.com/2008/08/29/stories/2008082954990500.htm

UNDIAGNOSED FATAL ILLNESS - INDIA (05): (UTTAR PRADESH), CLARIFYING
*******************************************************************
A ProMED-mail post
<http://www.promedmail.org>
ProMED-mail is a program of the
International Society for Infectious Diseases
<http://www.isid.org>

Date: Fri 29 Aug 2008
From: T Jacob John, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India.
<vlr_tjjohn@sancharnet.in>


[ProMED-mail is indebted to Professor T Jacob John for the following
clarification, which is necessitated by our reporting of 2 separate
outbreaks of undiagnosed fatal illness in Uttar Pradesh within the same
thread.]

A clarification
---------------
I wish to alert you to a clarification. 2 distinct outbreaks are mixed up
in the most recent ProMED-mail post: Undiagnosed fatal illness - India
(04): (UP) 20080828.2697.

Part [1] of this report concerns an encephalitis-like syndrome, (almost)
exclusively in children. Clinically it is a CNS disease, commonly called by
the "non-specific" term acute encephalitis syndrome (AES). Some Japanese
encephalitis and other undiagnosed CNS diseases are involved.

My comment in part [2] of the report does not pertain to the AES outbreak,
but a different one (see: Undiagnosed fatal illness - India (03): (UP) RFI
20080826.2666), predominantly rural, not confined to children, clinically a
febrile illness "resembling malaria", and associated with flooding. The
very first report (see: Undiagnosed fatal illness - India (02): (UP) RFI
20080811.2478) of this outbreak emphasised involvement of children,
jaundice, link to flooding, but no mention of AES like nature. The only
commonalities between the 2 are that children are affected and death is
common. The news in 20080826.2666 does not say predominantly children but
such details are not given in it.

In summary, there are 2 major outbreaks, one in East UP [Uttar Pradesh],
resembling Japanese encephalitis (JE) and the other in South-East UP,
resembling leptospirosis with fever, jaundice and no particular brain
involvement. Children are often affected in leptospirosis outbreaks.

Both seem to have fairly high case fatality. The latter is eminently
treatable, only if diagnosis is suspected in the beginning. The CNS
disease, whether JE or another viral disease is not that effectively
treatable, but supportive care minimises mortality. The reason to propose
leptospirosis is that it fits the picture, infection is widespread in
India, outbreaks involving children and young adults occur after heavy
rains and flooding (waterlogging in one description), diagnosis (and
antimicrobial therapy) is often life-saving and specific lab tests are
available in a network of national labs. If government health officers read
ProMED-mail, they could immediately take action.

I hope my description of 2 outbreaks make sense. [ProMED-mail agrees]

--
T Jacob John
Christian Medical College

India

[ProMED-mail regrets the confusion and is in complete agreement with
Professor T Jacob John's analysis. In fact the 1st 2 posts describing the
2nd outbreak in Uttar Pradesh in August contained a introductory statement
indicating that it was not known to be connected with an earlier outbreak
of undiagnosed fatal illness in Uttar Pradesh in April. In retrospect it
was inadvisable to combine the reports of the 2 outbreaks in the same thread.

The Hindustan Times report of 26 Aug 2008 was incorrectly included with
Professor T Jacob John's diagnosis of leptospirosis because it was assumed
incorrectly that that the press report did not refer to the outbreak of
encephalitis-like illness reported in Uttar Pradesh in April 2008.

To avoid further confusion any information about the 2 outbreaks will
continue to be included in a common thread until there is final resolution
of the underlying causation.
