India ranks second in the world for the number of COVID-19 cases, with over 800 cases recorded in Andhra Pradesh alone. Meanwhile, an unidentified new disease hit the area over the weekend. Hospitals in the city of Eluru experienced a real siege of patients complaining of a number of dangerous symptoms, including seizures, loss of consciousness and nausea. However, after testing for the coronavirus, they all turned out to be negative.
Most of the 300 patients admitted to state and private hospitals were under 30 years of age, and about 22% were children.
– About 180 patients have already been discharged and the rest are stable. Says Dr. Dolla Joshi Roy of Eluru Health Authority. – One patient died. At first he reported similar symptoms, but then there was a sudden cardiac arrest – added Roy – Most likely this death was not related to a mysterious disease.
The Andhra Pradesh Department of Health has released a message stating that the patients have had blood tests. There was no evidence of viral infection, such as dengue or chikungunya, which are caused by mosquito bites.
Since everyone was found to be drinking water from a single source, the forensic laboratory is now carrying out sample testing. They were taken from 57 thousand. 863 households.
“We look for the causes of the disease, we run tests, and we examine food and milk,” Roy says.
Meanwhile, the patients were visited by the governor of Andhra Pradesh at the hospital. And the medical staff was joined by a neurologist and specialists from the All India Institute of Medical Science who conduct research in terms of neurotoxins.
