Japanese encephalitis kills minor in Mahottari
BANKE, AUG 17 -

Japanese encephalitis, a mosquito-borne viral disease, has stalked the mid-western Tarai districts lately, claiming one life and taking scores others ill.

Gumi Rana of Chaulahi from Dang district died of Japanese encephalitis on Monday while undergoing treatment at Nepalgunj-based Bheri Zonal Hospital. The hospital sources said the flow of encephalitis patients is surging in recent days.

According to Dr Bimal Dhakal, the chief at the hospital, 11 Japanese encephalitis patients have been admitted to the hospital in the past one month and some of them are still receiving treatment.

The hospital data shows that most of the patients are from Dang, Banke and Bardiya districts. Mid-western Tarai districts come under the grip of fatal Japanese encephalitis during the monsoon every year.

Last year, 105 Japanese encephalitis patients were admitted to Bheri Zonal Hospital and 23 of them died of the disease.
