An unidentified disease killed at least one person and left 227 others admitted to a hospital in Eluru, in Andrahra Pradesh, in southern India, last weekend. As reported by the local newspaper “The Indian Express”, doctors said that the patients had “a wide range of symptoms”, ranging from “vomiting and burning sensation in the eyes” to “fainting and seizures.”

The newspaper found that there are adults and children among those hospitalized and that 157 were still hospitalized until this Friday (4). Indian Health Minister Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas issued a note in which the head of the ministry announced that there is no relationship between the disease and Covid-19.

In the text, it rules out that the unidentified disease is related to “water or air pollution” or that the patients have dengue, chikungunya or endemic infections in the state.

Andrahra Pradesh’s prime minister said, also by note, that experts from the Indian government were dispatched to the city to try to discover the causes of the disease. The blood tests performed on the patients, for the moment, do not point to “evidence of virus infection,” emphasizes the text.
