`Lancet' neglects neglected diseases of India
Malathy Iyer, TNN | May 7, 2011, 05.48pm IST
MUMBAI: The battle between the Indian medical fraternity and the world's reputed medical journal, The Lancet, continues unabated.
It began in August 2010 when the Lancet named the latest superbug after New Delhi. The western inference that the superbug had emerged from India was vehemently opposed. Matters worsened last month when the journal published a report showing that many water sources in India's capital contained the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase bacteria (NDM-1). Counter-claims flew fast and furiously.
