What is baffling the doctors is the nature of the unknown disease, which has not been identified so far. The IE report quoted some officials as saying that in most of the cases, only one member of each family had reported the symptoms. Moreover, the water samples from other localities of Eluru didn’t report any issue. The authorities are still not clear if this mystery illness is water-borne or has some element of food poisoning. What the officials have clearly said that this ‘disease’ doesn’t spread from one person to another.
The only relief is that most of the people have been discharged from the hospitals after early first-aid. Doctors and other health experts from AIIMS Delhi, Pune’s National Virology Institute and Delhi-based Centre for Disease Control have reached Eluru and probing the possible causes of the mystery illness. Presence of heavy metal may have led to seizure and loss of conciseness.
Those who have recovered from the disease are still numbed by the shock. May have complained about abdominal pain and gastronomic troubles. Every patient suffered a single bout of this sudden illness. It didn’t lead to any other complication. The coronavirus pandemic is also adding to the woes of the health officials, who are already saddled with Covid protocols.
